Savor the Flavor & Get Twice the Luv by Jamala M. Johnson Pdf

Pink Passion: A ruling passion motivates, pushes, stretches, encourages, inspires and in some instances a ruling passion might even challenge you to reach your full potential. Make no mistake about it, a ruling passion is much different from a goal. In general, a goal is a set deadline or time frame estabish by the goal setter to complete and accomplish a particular task. Normally, goal setters classify goals into categories, short term and long term. For a tantamount of consumers and shoppers, once a goal is set it stays at the center of attention until the goal is accomplished. Totally different from a goal___putatively, a passion, so to speak, is something that you love to do more than anything else that you do daily. Straight forwardly speaking, when you have a passion it consumes your every thought, it pretty much paints the picture of how you view, see, and live life. A strong feeling, longing, or desire;each of us as consumers and shoppers have different passions__ostensibly, even with the various passions available as choices, some consumers and shoppers have not found their ruling passion, understandably, it could take years before a consumer or shopper stumbles upon their ruling passion. At any rate that you find your passion, a passion or a ruling passion could be just about anything that you love and enjoy to do at home, away from the job, on vacation and during holidays. From shopping to blogging to cooking to singing to acting to dancing, it's what you love to do the most, it's what motivates, pushes, stretches, encourages, inspires, and challenges you, it's your ruling passion. In previous years, I have had a passion to try and do many things. While in college, I rediscovered my passion for the English language and writing. Within the past seven years, I developed a passion for shopping and blogging. 2009, I developed a passion for pink. Along with my passion for pink, I believe my ruling passion is to be an award winning editor and writer. Veritably, all passions begin with you_if you have found your ruling passion stick with it, share it, and create a niche for your passion. And for the percentage of you (consumers and shoppers) who you havent found your ruling passion, start_right now and start doing what you love and enjoy, it's not too late.

What Works for Women at Work by Joan C. Williams,Rachel Dempsey Pdf

Up-beat, pragmatic, and chock full of advice, What Works for Women at Work is an indispensable guide for working women. An essential resource for any working woman, What Works for Women at Work is a comprehensive and insightful guide for mastering office politics as a woman. Authored by Joan C. Williams, one of the nation’s most-cited experts on women and work, and her daughter, writer Rachel Dempsey, this unique book offers a multi-generational perspective into the realities of today’s workplace. Often women receive messages that they have only themselves to blame for failing to get ahead—Negotiate more! Stop being such a wimp! Stop being such a witch! What Works for Women at Work tells women it’s not their fault. The simple fact is that office politics often benefits men over women. Based on interviews with 127 successful working women, over half of them women of color, What Works for Women at Work presents a toolkit for getting ahead in today’s workplace. Distilling over 35 years of research, Williams and Dempsey offer four crisp patterns that affect working women: Prove-It-Again!, the Tightrope, the Maternal Wall, and the Tug of War. Each represents different challenges and requires different strategies—which is why women need to be savvier than men to survive and thrive in high-powered careers. Williams and Dempsey’s analysis of working women is nuanced and in-depth, going far beyond the traditional cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approaches of most career guides for women. Throughout the book, they weave real-life anecdotes from the women they interviewed, along with quick kernels of advice like a “New Girl Action Plan,” ways to “Take Care of Yourself”, and even “Comeback Lines” for dealing with sexual harassment and other difficult situations.

Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren Pdf

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners and the “delectable, moving” (Entertainment Weekly) My Favorite Half-Night Stand comes a modern love story about what happens when your first love reenters your life when you least expect it… Sam Brandis was Tate Jones’s first: Her first love. Her first everything. Including her first heartbreak. During a whirlwind two-week vacation abroad, Sam and Tate fell for each other in only the way that first loves do: sharing all of their hopes, dreams, and deepest secrets along the way. Sam was the first, and only, person that Tate—the long-lost daughter of one of the world’s biggest film stars—ever revealed her identity to. So when it became clear her trust was misplaced, her world shattered for good. Fourteen years later, Tate, now an up-and-coming actress, only thinks about her first love every once in a blue moon. When she steps onto the set of her first big break, he’s the last person she expects to see. Yet here Sam is, the same charming, confident man she knew, but even more alluring than she remembered. Forced to confront the man who betrayed her, Tate must ask herself if it’s possible to do the wrong thing for the right reason… and whether “once in a lifetime” can come around twice. With Christina Lauren’s signature “beautifully written and remarkably compelling” (Sarah J. Maas, New York Times bestselling author) prose and perfect for fans of Emily Giffin and Jennifer Weiner, Twice in a Blue Moon is an unforgettable and moving novel of young love and second chances.

Surviving Twice by Trin Yarborough Pdf

Surviving Twice is the story of five Vietnamese Amerasians born during the Vietnam War to American soldiers and Vietnamese mothers. Unfortunately, they were not among the few thousand Amerasian children who came to the United States before the war's end and grew up as Americans, speaking English and attending American schools. Instead, this group of Amerasians faced much more formidable obstacles, both in Vietnam and in their new home. Surviving Twice raises significant questions about how mixed-race children born of wars and occupations are treated and the ways in which the shifting laws, policies, social attitudes, and bureaucratic red tape of two nations affect them their entire lives.
