Book Description
There is so much in life, and about life we learn on a daily basis. No matter how young you are, or how old you may be, life is a journey for everyone. In this journey, we go through seasons of life. There is summer, fall, winter and spring. Some seasons last longer than others, but they all have an important part to play in our lives. As we venture to live in the times of each season, we will always see that they are never the same, and as people we must be willing to adjust to the changes, the temperature, and climate that we are placed in. Even during the times, when it seems like it will never stop raining, I can still have joy and a smile, because I know that sooner or later the sun is going to shine, and the clouds are going to move, and the dew that has fallen upon the grass will bring moisture to the flowers, so they can blossom and become who they were purposed to be. So, I say to you, despise not the times when life becomes challenging. Embrace the difference in others, so that you can learn to love who God has made you to be. Never give up on your dreams, because your dreams, never gives up on you. That's why you keep having those dreams, because they want to become reality in your life. When you can't find encouragement from nobody else, encourage yourself. It is very important that even at a young age, you live your life today, for your tomorrow. Just remember, without God we can fail, but with him and through him, all things are possible, to them that believe.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
Acclaimed author Lauren Slater ruminates on what it means to be family. Lauren Slater’s rocky childhood left her cold to the idea of ever creating a family of her own, but a husband, two dogs, two children, and three houses later, she came around to the challenges, trials, and unexpected rewards of playing house. Boldly honest, these biographical pieces reveal Slater at her wittiest and most deeply personal. She describes her journey from fiercely independent young woman to wife and mother, all while coping with mental illness. She tells of a chemical fire that rekindled the flame in her ailing relationship with her husband; she reflects on her decision to have an abortion, and then later to have children despite suffering from severe depression; she examines sex, love, mastectomies, and how nannies can be intrusive while dogs become family. Beautifully written, often humorous, and always revealing, these stories scrutinize the complex questions surrounding family life, offering up sometimes uncomfortable truths.
