To those without time or inclination for intensive spiritual reading and study, this handbook is a find! The work is firmly grounded in Scripture and Christian teachings on growth through contemplation.

About My Mother
Author: Peggy Rowe
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1948677172
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
A Message from Mike Rowe, the Dirty Jobs Guy: Just to be clear, About My Mother is a book about my grandmother, written by my mother. That’s not to say it’s not about my mother—it is. In fact, About My Mother is as much about my mother as it is about my grandmother. In that sense, it’s really a book about “mothers.” …It is not, however, a book written by me. True, I did write the foreword. But it doesn’t mean I’ve written a book about my mother. I haven’t. Nor does it mean my mother’s book is about her son. It isn’t. It’s about my grandmother. And my mother. Just to be clear.—Mike A love letter to mothers everywhere, About My Mother will make you laugh and cry—and see yourself in its reflection. Peggy Rowe’s story of growing up as the daughter of Thelma Knobel is filled with warmth and humor. But Thelma could be your mother—there’s a Thelma in everyone’s life. She’s the person taking charge—the one who knows instinctively how things should be. Today, Thelma would be described as an alpha personality, but while growing up, her daughter Peggy saw her as a dictator—albeit a benevolent, loving one. They clashed from the beginning—Peggy, the horse-crazy tomboy, and Thelma, the genteel-yet-still-controlling mother, committed to raising two refined, ladylike daughters. Good luck. When major league baseball came to town in the early 1950s and turned sophisticated Thelma into a crazed Baltimore Orioles groupie, nobody was more surprised and embarrassed than Peggy. Life became a series of compromises—Thelma tolerating a daughter who pitched manure and galloped the countryside, while Peggy learned to tolerate the whacky Orioles fan who threw her underwear at the television, shouted insults at umpires, and lived by the orange-and-black schedule taped to the refrigerator door. Sometimes it takes a little distance to appreciate the people we love.

Happiness Is Your Responsibility

Publisher:
ISBN: 9780578398334
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Full of humor, warmth, and straight-up truths, "Happiness is Your Responsibility" takes you through a whirlwind of emotions through storytelling and visual design. Everyone wants to be happy, but for some reason, our happiness has become tied to worldly achievements and successes rather than the other way round. "Happiness is Your Responsibility" is here to tell you that happiness is an inside job. When you take responsibility for your own happiness, it will improve the quality of your life in a monumental way. "My goal was not to write a book on happiness, but to teach myself about the art and science of happiness. The more I learned, the more I realized what a powerful tool it is! Not only does it actively encourage growth ? but it also adds pleasure to everyday, mundane happenings in your life." You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll find yourself grabbing some post-it's and a highlighter to jot down all the practical and straightforward ways that you can stretch, strengthen and flex your happiness muscle. All of the author's proceeds from the book sales will benefit the women's nonprofit organization, SheCAN!, in which Sullivan is the founder. The organization will use this round of funding to build programming around the book's theme, "How to Flex and Maintain Your Happiness Muscle," through what Sullivan calls The Happiness Tripod, a combination of professional development, personal development, and health and wellness.
