My "ME-ness" Journey By: Pamela A. Reed About the Book As you walk your "Me-Ness" journey, you will be able to peel back the layers of suppression that have hidden your true beauty. Your challenge now is to learn to embrace, love, and like yourself regardless of the past or what tomorrow holds. Learning to embrace yourself, or love yourself or like yourself is a challenge for many women. It is difficult because women have been suppressed on many levels of society which include the social, economic and academic worlds. They have been denied the opportunity to come into the fullness of who they are, making it difficult for them to understand and accept who they are -- strong, beautiful, gifted beings. More importantly, it has left women not knowing how to love themselves. Now prepare yourself for this unique and life-changing transformation!!

Book Description
Imagine the God of the universe whispering in your ear, “What shall we create out of your life that will serve My purpose?” The path of authenticity is not a solo endeavor but a calling to a partnership with God that requires utter honesty, trust, commitment, and wisdom. God guides your path with a two-fold promise, “You know I love you as you are, but together, we can make of your life what I created you to be.” Following the petitions of our Lord’s Prayer, Dr. Richard Parrott examines a family of authentic partners, the family of Abraham and Sarah, their son Isaac, grandson Jacob, and great-grandson Joseph. This fresh telling of the story reveals practical answers to the question, “How can my partnership with God be genuine, mature, and significant?” The Reluctant Journey is an honest and practical guide for relating to God. As authentic Christians, we can live true in Christ and our love for him each day, choosing His best for us so that together, we advance His kingdom “on earth as it is in heaven.” Features include: Truths from the Lord’s Prayer Stories of the founders of our faith Thought-provoking questions for spiritual conversation or reflection

Book Description
Wanda Burch dreamt that she would die at a certain age; her dreams foretold her diagnosis of cancer, and they guided her toward treatment and wellness. Although she took advantage of all the medical resources available to her, Wanda believes she is alive today because of her intimate engagement with the dreamworld. This book is more than one woman's story, however. Wanda provides techniques such as questioning the dream and observing the surroundings of the dream to delve into the meaning behind the personal stories we tell ourselves in sleep. Through powerful prose and practical exercises, this book demonstrates that wisdom lives within each of us, and we can tap into that wisdom through dreamwork.

Book Description
A trailblazing exploration of the political stakes of curiosity Curiosity is political. Who is curious, when, and how reflects the social values and power structures of a given society. In Curiosity and Power, Perry Zurn explores the political philosophy of curiosity, staking the groundbreaking claim that it is a social force—the heartbeat of political resistance and a critical factor in social justice. He argues that the very scaffolding of curiosity is the product of political architectures, and exploring these values and architectures is crucial if we are to better understand, and more ethically navigate, the struggle over inquiry in an unequal world. Curiosity and Power explores curiosity through the lens of political philosophy—weaving in Nietzsche, Foucault, and Derrida in doing so—and the experience of political marginalization, demonstrating that curiosity is implicated equally in the maintenance of societies and in their transformation. Curiosity plays as central a role in establishing social institutions and fields of inquiry as it does in their deconstruction and in building new forms of political community. Understanding curiosity is critical to understanding politics, and understanding politics is critical to understanding curiosity. Drawing not only on philosophy and political theory but also on feminist theory, race theory, disability studies, and trans studies, Curiosity and Power tracks curiosity in the structures of political marginalization and resistance—from the Civil Rights Movement to building better social relationships. Curiosity and Power insists that the power of curiosity be recognized and engaged responsibly.

Book Description
"At seventeen years old, Ruthie Lindsey is hit by an ambulance near her home in rural Louisiana. She's given a five percent chance of survival and one percent chance of walking again. One month later after a spinal fusion surgery, Ruthie defies the odds, leaving the hospital on her own two feet. Just a few years later, newly married and living in Nashville, Ruthie begins to experience debilitating pain. Her case confounds doctors and after numerous rounds of testing, imaging, and treatment, they prescribe narcotic painkillers--lots of them. Ruthie has become bedridden, dependent on painkillers, and hopeless, when an X-ray reveals that the wire used to fuse her spine is piercing her brain stem. Without another staggeringly expensive experimental surgery, she could well become paralyzed, but in many ways, she already is."--

CLINICAL PRAISE FOR Choose FITNESS not FATNESS Today! As a Board Certified Gastroenterologist, I see the effects of obesity on a daily basis. Most of my patients ask about how to “fix” the problem quickly; mainly through surgery. Unfortunately, I have to treat a lot of complications from surgery and many patients don’t have the long standing results they were hoping for. Imagine my surprise when Matt came in for a follow up after a year and at over 50 years old he was almost a hundred pounds lighter! I asked which bariatric surgery he had, and I was blown away by the most practical, healthy, and sustainable answer I have ever heard: “I just chose to be fit not fat.” I have read Choose FITness not FATness Today! and was very impressed on several key points. One, was how he maintained a very strict mental attitude toward the whole process. His approach was very humble, analytical and practical. Once his mind was ready, then he implemented the processes to achieving his goal. His diet makes sense and is clinically sound. By not choosing “crap” his body does not go into a cycle of insulin spiking resulting in growth not loss. Finally, the way that Matt was able to gradually grow into his exercise routine makes the most sense to not get discouraged and to make the weight loss permanent. This book is practical, motivating, and most important: the healthiest way to lose weight. I’m looking forward to being able to recommend this solution to my overweight patients that are seeking a simple yet attainable solution to their weight loss challenges. —Kenneth Brown, MD, KennethBrownMD.com A 1-year, one-day-at-a-time journey from obesity to athleticism without surgery, prepackaged foods, personal trainers, calorie-counting, or hunger. During the decades Matt Wharton struggled with obesity, he wanted to find a way to apply a simple practice to the complex problem of too much body fat. He’d tried everything imaginable and found that all of the “lose weight quick” programs out there delivered a short-term loss followed by a longterm gain. Matt discovered a simple daily regimen after extensive research and a lot of prayer. It unlocks the mystery of weight loss and fitness, touching on both diet and exercise and, if repeated each day, produces incredible results. This is a direct, simple solution to a complex, life-threatening condition. Filled with real-world experiences, tough love, biting sarcasm, and a healthy dose of humor, Choose FITness Not FATness Today! will help you see results in the mirror while positioning you for a longer, happier life free from the burdens of excess weight and lack of fitness. The solution only takes one day to work: TODAY!

Book Description
Abused! The Preacher's Wife! Divorced! These were not my character traits or career choice, yet these associations and marks on my life gave me my public identity. This identity's influence was so strong it broke my personal courage. Could I break the silence and confess my pain to God? Would He hear my prayers and heal me if I walked away from ministry? Would He discard me, if I got a divorce? After taking an honest look at my life I truly wondered if He even loved me at all! For years I lived with the disconnection between the truth of God's Word, which proclaimed His Love for me, and my ability to dwell daily in the confident security that truth inspires. The distress in my heart was so great, and securing God's love seemed so elusive that I made attempts to cure myself. Unfortunately, I wound up causing myself greater injury as I sought out alternatives that I could intellectually grasp and measure up to. Each substitute for His love that I gathered failed me miserably...'til finally I answered God's question to me. "Janeen, will you let me love you?" After many hills, valleys, scrapes and falls, I placed my hand in His and made the discovery of a lifetime. He created me to Love me! I didn't have to beg, barter, or steal for love. The Love that I so desperately longed for was inside of me. All I had to do was "accept" and "receive" the awesome gift. But the twists and turns of the pathways travelled, to arrive at the place of clarity and wholeness, was an absolutely incredible...Journey to Love! I am so glad that God is Love. He miraculously loves me and you, in the midst of and through each of our life's pathways!

Book Description
Even though diversity is currently conveyed as a ubiquitous principle within institutions of higher education, professionals of color still face issues such as discrimination, the glass ceiling, lack of mentoring, and limited access to career networks. Unfortunately, an open channel does not exist for professionals of color to express their frustrations and genuine concerns. The narratives in No Ways Tired present a powerful voice about the experiences of student affairs professionals of color in higher education, including intersecting identities such as race, class, and gender. Furthermore, the narratives are nuggets of personal truth that can serve as a lens for professionals of color who wish to develop strategies to succeed as they traverse their careers in higher education. Through the sharing of their visions of success, lessons learned, and cautionary tales, the authors openly offer insights about how they have created a way to survive and thrive within higher education in spite of challenges and distractions. They also articulate a vision where student affairs professionals of color can develop fully, be authentic, use their agency, and effectively contribute. This book includes recommendations for professionals of color at all levels within higher education and ways to construct opportunities to flourish. The ultimate goal for this book is to promote discussions regarding how professionals of color can be more proactive in developing strategies that are conducive to their professional and personal success as they navigate their higher education careers.
