Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
This book is a user's manual for the curious human being. It is a unique guide that directs the reader away from the outer world to the mind and heart, where life is really lived. We see the world as we think it is, not what it really is. This is not good or bad, but it is the result of what we've learned and come to believe about the world and who we are, or what our minds tell us is so. There are nine major areas or rooms that make up the house of your whole life. The unique metaphor of rooms is used to clearly illustrate and explain how to achieve a fulfilling and balanced life. Each room feels different because its purpose and energy is unique. How you design and occupy each room is unique to you. Understanding the value and purpose of each room is critical to build and maintain the strong foundation that helps move you into and through the challenges that are part of a human life. Each room not only helps you pinpoint old beliefs, habits and patterns that no longer serve, it also shows you how to release them and develop new and improved ways of being. This is called personal growth. Being aware of what makes up the house that is your life puts you in the driver's seat. It empowers you to design a life for yourself that is fulfilling and in balance . . . a life that just feels good! If you're someone who's done with just going through the motions of life and wants to know more about who you are and why you're here, this book is for you.

The Only Woman in the Room
Author: Rita Lakin
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1495050467
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Rita Lakin was a pioneer – a female scriptwriter in the early 1960s when Hollywood television was exclusively male. For years, in creative meetings she was literally “the only woman in the room.” In this breezy but heartfelt remembrance, Lakin takes readers to a long-forgotten time when women were not considered worthy or welcome at the creative table. Widowed with three young children, she talked herself into a secretarial job at Universal Studios in 1962, despite being unable to type or take dictation. With guts, skill, and humor, she rose from secretary to freelancer, to staff writer, to producer, to executive producer and showrunner, meeting hundreds of famous and infamous show biz legends along the way during her long and unexpected career. She introduced many women into the business and was a feminist before she even knew she was one. The general public did not know her name, but Lakin touched the lives of millions of viewers week after week, year after year. The relevance of her personal journey – charming yet occasionally shocking – will be an eye-opener to present-day who take for granted the abundance of female creative talent in today's Hollywood.

My Life as a Prayer
Author: Elizabeth Cunningham
Publisher: Monkfish Book Publishing
ISBN: 1958972118
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
“One of the most engaging memoirs I’ve read in ages. The wise and feisty voice I've come to know and love in Elizabeth Cunningham’s Maeve Chronicles fills these pages and carried me away. Anyone who has forged an independent path through the luminous moments and deepest shadows of a soul-filled life will recognize their own spiritual adventures reflected here.”—Mirabai Starr, God of Love In this intriguing spiritual memoir, The Maeve Chronicles author Elizabeth Cunningham traces her dynamic faith journey and its relationship to her writing. As the daughter of an Episcopal priest, author Elizabeth Cunningham was born into community, sacred story, and the mysteries of prayer. For her, “If a writer is one who writes, then a ‘prayer’ is one who prays.” As such, her praying is dynamic, a dance between many opposites—active vs. contemplative, community vs. individual, human vs. wild—and Cunningham sees the divine as both incarnate and transcendent, an intimate beloved and a vast mystery. When she prays, Cunningham is both audacious and reverent, asking tough questions of God—raging, listening intently, and dancing and singing ecstatically. Her storyteller’s imagination opens a path from the known to the unknowable, from despair to wonder. In this nonfiction debut, Cunningham recounts both her lifelong spiritual quest and her ongoing spiritual questions. Her journey takes her from her childhood church, with its ornate liturgy, to the silence of Quaker meeting; from her ordination as an interfaith minister to an eclectic, earth-centered community where she served as priestess before becoming a hermit, of sorts, making a church of her own backyard. Candid and passionate, Cunningham’s memoir invites readers of all faiths—and doubts!—to explore what it means to live life as a prayer in the beautiful, imperiled world we share.
