The Poetry Book
Author: Miss Carla D. Walker
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1796042145
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 59
Book Description
I know some of my fans have been wondering where I am. Well, to answer your question—I’ve been homeless. A lot of things have been happening, from being almost murdered to being sexually harassed. Well, something else happened. Do you remember my first book? I know you do. Where I claimed to be a dyslexic. Well, I’m not. After all is said and done, it was just a trick. I was taking medication three times a day—8:00 a.m., 4:00 p.m., and 8:00 pm. It turns out the 4:00 p.m. medications were overdosing me, forcing me to fall all over the place. So I was told to stop taking the 4:00 p.m. medication altogether. The other thing is that I was a leap-year baby. Well, to put those who are at ease—I am not a leap-year baby. I’m well now, and like I said, God gave me a voice. Every so often, I’m going to do it, speaking through my poetry. Yes, I’m still on SSDI—how else would I pay for my poetry hobby? There’s a way; I’m a gifted paralegal. I just haven’t had a break yet. Here’s wishing me good luck. Thank you.

The Minimum Method
Author: Joey Thurman
Publisher: BenBella Books
ISBN: 1637742290
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
When it comes to looking and feeling your best, less really can be more. Discover how to maximize your sleeping, eating, exercising—even thinking and breathing—with minimum effort. The truth is most people don’t actually need grueling, extreme workouts or aggressively limited diets to lose weight and feel proud to flaunt their bodies in bathing suits. What they need is a plan that is focused on efficiency—the best results for the least amount of time and effort—and one that is actually designed to be maintained for more than 30 days. In The Minimum Method, by nutrition expert and celebrity fitness trainer Joey Thurman, you’ll learn a wealth of practical advice, simple nutrition truths, minimal-effort recipes, and how to exercise smarter, not harder. Instead of unrealistic workouts and time-consuming meal plans, Thurman’s science-backed method is based on getting the maximum benefit out of things like quick and simple “exercise snacks” and sleep hygiene hacks. Thurman doesn’t shy away from the shortcomings of the mainstream health/fitness/diet industry—in fact, he acknowledges and apologizes for his own past experience in perpetuating the harmful myth that everyone should be pushing their bodies to the limit in order to improve. Now, he’s on a mission to help others prioritize genuine health instead of some imaginary and unattainable standard of perfection. Ultimately, The Minimum Method teaches how to adopt a healthier mindset and lifestyle: feeling your best when you don’t get enough sleep, working fitness into your busiest days, getting back on track when you slip up, and celebrating your progress. With The Minimum Method, you’ll have the key to better health, using small, easy changes that add up to huge, life-altering results.

When All Hell Breaks Loose

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
It's a Sunday morning, and while most people are thinking about getting the paper and breakfast, Gregory Alston has something other than eggs on his mind. Today he's going to propose to Adrian Jenkins, his girlfriend of three years. But when he actually does, all hell breaks loose and he gets a lot more than he bargained for. His mother returns from France, where she's been living as a jazz singer since leaving her family in Texas nearly twenty years ago. His Holy Roller sister, Shreese, complains that Adrian is too "worldly" for him, even though she herself is falling for the shady, charismatic pastor of her church. And his boys--who run the gamut from player to buffoon--react to the news of his engagement with grief and disbelief. And if that's not enough, he's got Adrian, who has more skeletons in her closet than a haunted house. What's a brother to do? When All Hell Breaks Loose is a debut novel about black twenty-somethings that is fast and funny. It's also a peek into the minds of young black men. The author, Camika Spencer, won't just have you laughing--she'll have you looking in the mirror to see if she's talking about you.
