Lessons Mama Never Taught Me
Author: Karen R January
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Lessons Mama Never Taught Me, is unlike any other book that addresses women's issues. It follows the dramatic real - life stories of ten women and a coddled man who survived the darkest moments of their lives without lessons they felt their mother never taught them and emotional influences that impacted their judgment of choosing their love wisely. Each story focuses on the topics of (sex, dating, education, money) and questions that were avoided while they were growing up and how the lack of communication from their mother's affected their lives. You will find out what these lessons are, how they survived these challenges and the steps they each took toward healing. The stories offer candid thoughts of personal experiences with extra-marital affairs, abortion, Internet dating, domestic and sexual abuse, chemical dependency, mental illness, rape, gender identity, teen pregnancy and other topics that have been minimally addressed, considered taboo, or not addressed at all. The importance of this book is to emphasize the importance of teaching our girls and women that their value does not lie in their beauty, sexuality, and body image or domestic duties that may impact both women and men. We must have those discussions about relevant social issues that are affecting our young girls more now than ever before. As women and the first teachers of the family it is our responsibility to provide the foundation needed to handle the challenges and pressures that they deal with on a daily basis.

Hikertrash
Author: Erin Miller

ISBN: 9780692341384
Category : Pacific Crest Trail
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
Teetering awkwardly on the brink of insanity, unable to handle life in snowy, cold, ultra-conservative North Idaho, Carl and Erin sold their house and set out in search of a new place to call home. Suddenly finding themselves completely free of responsibilities, jobless, and with a little spare cash in the bank, it didn't take long before their serious search for a new life took some unexpected twists and turns. "What do you think we should do when we return to the States?" Erin asked Carl, as they sat outside a tiny cafe sipping coffee. It was a question that had been plaguing her for weeks as they budget travelled across South East Asia in an attempt to avoid winter (and reality). "I've been thinking about it, and I think we should thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail." Was Carl's totally unexpected reply. Spend months on end traipsing through the wilderness, petting bunnies and chasing rainbows, as they hiked 2,660 miles from Mexico to Canada? How could Erin possibly say no? Life Rule #1: Never, ever, turn down an adventure. Friends wagered they wouldn't last a week, but before they knew it, days turned into months as they made their way across America at three miles an hour. As Carl and Erin morphed into Bearclaw and Hummingbird, they found that being hikertrash suited them. Though they will both admit the trail was life altering, there were no great epiphanies, no magic answers to all of life's burning questions, no "ah-ha " moments when suddenly life made sense. This is not a tale of personal growth. Through blisters and shin splints, jaw-dropping landscapes and craptastically unspectacular forests, searing heat and pouring rain, complete hilarity and utter exhaustion, this is the story of what day-to-day life is really like on one of America's greatest trails. As told through Hummingbird's journal entries, this is the story of life on the trail - the people you meet, the things you see, and how, mile by mile, you eventually become Hikertrash. Includes: 6 Overview Maps to Follow our Journey 19 Black & White Photos of Sights Along the Trail Leave No Trace Tips Our Gear Lists Our Trail Recipes What Is Hikertrash? Hikertrash: a long distance hiker, shabby and homeless in appearance, rarely bathed and rank in odor, more at home outdoors than in society, with a deep reverence and respect for all things wild.

Perfect Daughters
Author: Robert Ackerman
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0757396305
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
This new edition of Perfect Daughters, a pivotal book in the ACoA movement, identifies what differentiates the adult daughters of alcoholics from other women. When this groundbreaking book first appeared over ten years ago, Dr. Ackerman identified behavior patterns shared by daughters of alcoholics. Adult daughters of alcoholics—"perfect daughters" —operate from a base of harsh and limiting views of themselves and the world. Having learned that they must function perfectly in order to avoid unpleasant situations, these women often assume responsibility for the failures of others. They are drawn to chemically dependent men and are more likely to become addicted themselves. More than just a text that identifies these behavior patterns, this book collects the thoughts, feelings and experiences of twelve hundred perfect daughters, offering readers an opportunity to explore their own life's dynamics and thereby heal and grow. This edition contains updated information throughout the text, and completely new material, including chapters on eating disorders and abuse letters from perfect daughters in various stages of recovery, and helpful, affirming suggestions from Dr. Ackerman at the end of every chapter. This book is essential for every one who found validation, hope, courage and support in the pages of the original Perfect Daughters, as well as new readers and every therapist who confronts these issues. Also includes: a comprehensive reference section and complete index.

Lessons from Mama
Author: Joan Walker Page
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1638742367
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
It's been said that values are caught more than taught. When Polly Shivers was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, she quietly maintained, "Well, we're supposed to bloom where we are planted." Mama's words matched her actions. She knew that her six children would repeat what she did more than what she said. An orphan, adopted into her forever family as a toddler, Mama's life permeated gratefulness. Mama knew what loneliness felt like, and she invested in the lives of others, reaping great benefits. Snapshots of twelve of the many lessons learned from my Mama are encapsulated here, along with journal entries from both Mama and the author, Joan Walker Page, number five. Be inspired as you read the priceless pieces of this family's life, lovingly put together.
