The nine stories in Mike Alberti’s debut collection shine a sharp light on small-town American life —not the Arcadian small towns of yesteryear, but the old mill towns hanging on after the mill has stopped running, the deserted agricultural communities in the middle of vast industrial farms, places where bad luck has become part of the weather. But even in these blighted, neglected landscapes, the possibility of renewal always presents itself: there is hope for these places and the characters who inhabit them. In these fresh, innovative stories, some people let you down, but some people don’t.

Playtime Is Over: The book that is long overdue yet very much needed is finally here. Too often many people live a life that becomes one big lie after another. I have learned by living that it's one thing to lie to other people, but it's a terrible thing to lie to yourself. For many years some people have allowed their life to continue on in this state of "deep sleep," which is destructive not only to themselves but to others as well. This book is not to a race or creed of people, but to a type of people: To people that know that there is more to life than the things that they are seeing and doing. To people who know that there are issues and topics that need to be talked about (yet) not many people seem to want to talk about them. To people that are so fed up with the sexual sins and perversions of these times that they just want for someone to address the topic from a real honest perspective.Well, that is what I am here to do, talk about the sexual sins and perversions that are over running the world we live in. Healthy sexual relationships were designed to be a good thing, performed within the union of marriage between two (consenting) married adults. What we are allowing today in a lot more ways than one is for contamination to settle in. Men and women are leaning to their own understanding and doing (by choice) whatever they are big and bad enough to do. Some people (not all) live their life in silence about a lot of these topics, because they don't have anyone to talk to about them. Nowhere to turn for real, honest conversations about this issue. For the most part we spend time on the surface of these issues. Well, within the pages of this book we will go past the surface and bring some clarity in a lot more areas than not, so consider your realities and know that help is here. So, brace yourself like a woman/man because "playtime is over!"Warning:Once you start reading this book, it will be hard to escape the truths in these writings, so much to the point that you will be challenged to change for the better or remain in the same condition that you were in before you started reading this book. Overall... "The choice is yours." I invite you to read, receive, and reevaluate your life as you know it so that you can live a life free from the things that may be holding you captive, and start living a life that matters even more; not only to you but to others. Life is more than living for the here and now, live for the eternal...come and dine.

Jill Sherer Murray lived in a dead-end relationship into her forties before she finally let it go. She was like millions of women who struggle with whether to stay in a loveless marriage, a bad relationship, or give up on dating altogether, believing love isn’t in the cards. You may be struggling with a similar decision yourself. Perhaps you’re terrified of being single, and yet you don’t truly feel you’re living the life you want. With warmth and honesty, Murray shows you how letting go—of feeling stuck, afraid, and alone, and of believing what you’ve got is all you deserve—can free you from a life that isn’t serving you. She knows this is true, because she did it herself—and ultimately attracted the love and life she wanted. Through her story, other women’s stories, surprising facts and statistics, and helpful exercises, Big Wild Love will show you the way back to the self you’ve lost. It will put you on the path to change and teach you that, wherever you are, it’s never too late to start anew and find the Big Wild Love you deserve.
Secrets to Emotional Wealth explores the critical importance that connecting with and processing feelings has on our ability to achieve happiness, love, and meaning in our lives. It also describes the six core feelings and explores how the way in which how we learn to come to terms with these feelings during our early lives results in creating defenses to avoid facing feelings. It also explores the importance of the beliefs that we establish early in life, based on conclusions we draw from both information and experience, many of which are false. These beliefs are reinforced as time goes on, distorting our core selves, and creating a false reality that is inconsistent with our basic nature. Secrets to Emotional wealth shows that we each possess within ourselves the ability to be truly happy, the gaining of a higher level of consciousness, and the powerful realization that we are indeed the architects of our own reality.
About My Father’S Business by Garnet Earl Edwards Jr. Pdf
Every one of us at some point in our lives has had visions, goals and dreams of being somebody. Inspired by my Mom at an early age, she encouraged me to write. Poetry became my first love. People didn't understand me and I didn't care. I decided a long time ago that I would continue writing because I enjoyed writing. So, this book of poetry is mostly about who I am, what I've done, and how I perceive my understanding of God and life. I have written over a thousand poems; every poem that has been selected for this book is special to me, poems of my own personal experiences, poems of my battles and poems of my victories. God made it possible for this book. God made it possible for my life. I give Him the honor, the glory, and the praise. I am truly thankful as well as blessed. Special thanks go out to my wife Julia Anne. Thank you for all of your encouragement and all of your support. Your love has made a big difference to me in my life. I will always be grateful. I am so blessed. Thank you. To my daughter, Leah. While circumstances kept us apart for the first part of our lives, God saw fit to bring us back together. We are family. The miles between us might seem significant but know that I am here for you whenever you need me. Love - Dad And to Sarah, who held the key.

It is contended in this book that much of the literature elaborates on a rather religious explanation of “Man’s Basic Purpose” for being on Earth. One religious explanation says that “Man’s Basic Purpose” is to worship, praise, and glorify God. It is the author’s view that we were not put here to glorify God. Here a more secular view of “Man’s Basic Purpose is given. One secular view says that “Man’s Basic Purpose” is to reproduce. The author goes from reproduction as a purpose for man’s existence to self-actualization. Self-actualization and creativity are the highest purposes for man’s existence.

Drawing from fairy tales, ghost stories, and science-fiction, the stories in ActivAmerica explore how we confront (and exert) power and re-imagine ourselves through sports and athletic activities. A group of girls starts an illicit hockey league in a conservative suburb. A recently separated woman must run a mile a day in order to maintain her new corporate health insurance. Children impacted by environmental disaster create a “mutant soccer team.” Two sisters are visited by an Olympic gymnast who demands increasingly dangerous moves from them. Sports allow the characters to form communities on soccer fields and hidden lakes, in overgrown backyards and across Ping-Pong tables. Throughout the collection, however, athletic risk also comes with unexpected, often unsettling results.
