The Golden Butterfly: My Journey to Heaven on Earth
Author: Aily Carranza
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781953258014
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Believe in yourself. Trust yourself. Regain your voice and power. You are truly worth it. Imagine being sick your entire life and not knowing what's wrong. Your brain is constantly in a fog. You have trouble making decisions and knowing what's right. You have no energy. You eat nothing and gain weight. You are locked away, verbally abused. Every day is like a bad dream. But this isn't a nightmare-this is Aily Carranza's life. From a young age, Aily knew she was different. She spoke to the angels that surrounded her and guided her, and she had a special ability to understand others. But toxic forces in her life kept her earth-bound like a caterpillar, preventing her from reaching her true potential. An innocent mind poisoned by verbal and emotional abuse destroyed Aily's spirit, and Hashimoto's disease that went undiagnosed and untreated for decades destroyed her body. Her father's murder and an abusive marriage kept her trapped in a cycle of pain. Still, Aily strived to understand-what was wrong with her body, why was she always in a fog, and why could she never seem to do right? But every caterpillar eventually turns into a butterfly. For nearly four decades, Aily crawled through life, filled with fears and insecurities. Finally, with the help she needed, she was able to nurture and heal-finally understanding that self-care does not mean being selfish-and released old fears and wounds one by one. This is the story of Aily Carranza, the Golden Butterfly, and how she escaped a life of hell and is living Heaven on Earth.

Artful Itineraries
Author: Paul Fisher
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135706654
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
This study investigates the paradoxical dynamics of American high culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by examining the strategies of Americans who wrote about European art in order to promote and legitimize literary careers. Contrary to the myths they themselves disseminated, American writers in Europe did not escape American culture but rather created and participated in US. Cultural institutions like journals, museums, and universities. Transatlantic careers articulated a cult of Europe in a privileged American space, served social and aesthetic hierarchies, and constructed formidable versions of professional authority of American writers. The book focuses on four art careers Americans practiced in Europe: travel writing, art reviewing, connoisseurship, and salon hosting. It illuminates the careers of William Dean Howells, Henry James, Bernard and Mary Berenson, Celia Thaxter, and Gertrude Stein as itineraries of high-cultural formation and self-definition. In four chapters, the study examines these paradigmatic careers as both literary and cultural history, relating them to a diverse American society as well as Bostonian high culture. Americans created and deployed expatriate art careers, the author argues, in a landscape of gender, ethnic, and class relations. The use of Europe was both figural and practical: writers created a fantasized Europe that both enacted social repression and enabled social liberation. Ultimately, as the example of James Weld Johnson demonstrates, elitist and Europhile high culture reflected a much larger America as well as the narrower cultural institutions that historically fostered it.
