I became, like many of you have become, accidentally brave.Ĭobbled by a path laden with skulls and crossbones, I simply had no idea, not the slightest clue, of what I would be asked to face, or that in the ruin that my life would become, I would find my bravery and my warrior strength. I had no inkling that a tree would fall on me in the Amazonian jungle, or that I would be falsely diagnosed with cancer, or that my parents would die within 6 weeks of one another, or that a hurricane would lambast the Caribbean a few months later, or that two weeks later my husband would have an incurable brain tumor and less than a year later, die. I was miles and miles away from knowing then what life had reserved for me. She delivered this talk on the day after Princess Diana died. She reminded us to work past petty grievances, slights, and setbacks and gratefully embrace everything life brought to us, to taste everything that was on our plate. She said something to the effect that it was spiritually important for us to be appreciative for the golden summers of our lives. This petite and unassuming woman, who became the spiritual leader for a worldwide community when her master, the great Muktananda, passed, spoke simply and with a quiet conviction that galvanized a room of hundreds. I once attended a talk that Gurumayi Chivalananda gave at the Siddha Yoga center in upstate New York many years back.

Today, I want to share a couple of my biggest takeaways because I was pretty moved by the book. But I just finally got around to reading it. I’m a little bit behind the times, I know it has been a big book that hit the entrepreneurial scene a few years back. I just finished reading The One Thing a few weeks ago. It’s an amazing personal development book that has really helped me focus on what needs to get done, so I can push my businesses forward. It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite books. This is my quick summary of The One Thing (and my biggest takeaways). Today I want to talk to you about the book The One Thing by Gary Keller.

I hated that the main characters all ended up turning into wolves forever. I wasn't a big fan of the Nightshade trilogy, it was enjoyable enough but the ending kind of ruined it for me. *sigh* oh well sometimes love isn't meant to be and the other guy never gets a chance. I clearly remember reading the first chapter online before the book actually came out and it story stole my heart, and broke it all the same time, I thought there was actually a connection between the two characters when she found Ren in the house all alone in wolf form, I thought the story would have built up to much more than it actually did and that the characters would have build up to each other. Sorry I know there are ppl out there who love the idea but I'm not one of them. I have never left reading a book so sad or unjustified yes I really was that upset he died, yes I also understand its a book but when a book leaves you feeling sick it really isn't worth recommending to anyone and I love to recommend books to people and I really really wish the character would have lived, the story would have been better in my opinion, but to just kill off a character so there isn't the strange love triangle anymore is unjust! I wish that Ren would be around for this book, I really do, I feel his death was not necessary and wasn't really needed to build up the plot, if anything it took so much away from the book. Wow I didn't even know there was going to be anymore, looking forward to this, but I can't say I remember this character :S I knew I wanted to rotate the point of view and allow the reader to hear directly from all four characters. That was a lot to take in, so I strategized for a little while as to how to attack this story. My friend and fellow author, Tim Antonides, read it, and we agreed that the characters and plot were too big for the short-story container. The book was first written as a short story in the fall of 2014. It wasn’t long before my brain was trying its best to craft some sort of story about pseudo fatherhood. I developed a special bond with a student long ago, and I found myself caring deeply about his issues at school and at home.

Asian American Literature Fans – Megareview for April 2, 2015 As a result, his book devotes considerably more attention than Gay did to the role of modern natural law theories in the development of the Enlightenment and features a fine discussion of the ways in which the attempt to articulate the “science of man” implied by these theories was informed by and tested against the strange peoples and stranger customs that voyagers across the Pacific encountered. And, in keeping with the current emphasis on global history, Pagden shows how Europeans became modern by learning what it was that they shared with the rest of the world. Like Gay, Pagden’s aim is to demonstrate the ways in which the Enlightenment made Europeans modern. Anthony Pagden’s The Enlightenment and Why It Still Matters (New York: Random House, 2013) is perhaps the most ambitious account of the period published by a major commercial press since Peter Gay’s two-volume survey from the 1960s. He certainly brought all the enthusiasm of youth to his chosen profession to the end, he was always open to discovery, always eager for the world’s surprises. He loved crisis-hopping from country to country, and it produced a psychological insight he thought explained it all: “Journalism is the only profession in the world that allows you to be an adolescent all your life,” he was fond of saying. But truth-in-advertising: Stanley was a great raconteur, especially when stirred with what he was fond of calling his “industrial capacity” to consume wine, and he had already shared these reminiscences with most of his friends. They would have been a great treat, those memoirs: Stanley-the great foreign correspondent and my longtime friend-savoring his past, the prize-winning books, crisp vignettes of presidents and dictators, coup-plotters and snake charmers he had met along the way. Stanley Karnow was happily writing away, deep in his memoirs of half a century of journalistic encounters with the world, when he was suddenly overtaken by the Ultimate Interruption. There is no shame in getting high grades in school. Her ultimate goal is to get the youth reading again and to embrace their smarts. With the intent to entice more males to read, she sat and wrote REASSIGNED keeping in mind to include enough action for the young men, enough flirting for the young ladies, and a sophisticated page-turning plot to entertain adults. Every month Tanjlisa Marie will give away a copy of her young adult urban fantasy novel, CODENAME FAIRY GODMOTHER: REASSIGNED, to a library. Thinking of the future reading habits of her two young boys, Tanjlisa Marie first got the idea to write the saga, CODENAME FAIRY GODMOTHER, when she realized there were not a lot of young adult novels for both genders to enjoy. When Tanjlisa Marie isn't spending her time searching for fairies (which always turn out to be lightning bugs), she earns her living as a secretary for the federal government.
