Finding True Love in a Prickly Pear World
What the heck is a prickly pear? Webster defines it as a spiny pear-shaped edible fruit that grows on the Opuntia cacti found in dry arid climates. So, what correlation does a prickly pear have with us? Well, it's been said that the world is our oyster, and we are the pearls it produces. However, in this book we will discover that the world is our cactus and we are the prickly pear people it produces. As prickly pear people, we've learned to love conditionally, where love must be earned and deserved to gain it, and performance is required to maintain and keep it. That is NOT true of God's love! Therefore, this book provides a powerful resource to learn to love beyond what we've been taught. Within its pages, the attributes of true unconditional love are defined in vivid detail to explore what it is and how it acts. There is also the opportunity to reexamine the common beliefs about love and discover the stark contrast between God's love and the way the world loves that has been promoted through the media, music, opinions/influences of our peers, and those in our Christian circles. This is a contemplative, life-changing journey that is sure to inspire us to think, speak, and act differently than the world around us in the way we love one another. If you're ready to find true love in this prickly pear world, your search for a love worth finding begins here!
I Am A Good Boy
Two years after 36-years-old Joseph Gates III was shot and killed in Stockton, California, Kiki, his five-year-old illegitimate son asked, "Where is my daddy, and who is he?" He last saw his father when he was two. He does not remember him or his paternal family. The hidden truth of his biological daddy is no longer a secret. His step-sister or brother told him that their father was not his real daddy. The child is troubled, without his father he is devastated and lost. His father abandoned him. Without a strong father image, most children from dysfunctional home deteriorate. Nurture theorists believe that troubled families are a breeding ground for future juvenile delinquents and criminals. Kiki's father lived in an unbroken cycle of crime. Crime, illegitimate children, insufficient parenting, alcohol, and drug abuse plagued his environment. He spent most of his teenage life and adulthood in detention facilities, jail cells, and penitentiaries for murder and various other misdemeanors and felonies. Kiki is one of the children he fathered amid his long string of paroles. Sharma, Kiki's mother, has determined that he will never tread within the bloody, vicious, crime-plagued footsteps of his father. She is breaking the cycle of crime over her son's life. Kiki's motto is I am a good boy. His dream is to become a super hero when he reaches adulthood. He loves and respects people. Being a good boy is a struggle, but he tries to be obedient. This book is a letter addressed to Joseph. Kiki will never have a chance to read this letter to him. May the words in this book teach Kiki to respect others and lead a responsible, wholesome, and productive lifestyle that is free of crime and reproach always.
Overcoming Bias
Control, Conquer, and Prevail! Everybody's biased. The truth is, we all harbor unconscious assumptions that can get in the way of our good intentions and keep us from building authentic relationships with people different from ourselves. Tiffany Jana and Matthew Freeman use vivid stories and fun (yes, fun!) exercises and activities to help us reflect on our personal experiences and uncover how our hidden biases are formed. By becoming more self-aware, we can control knee-jerk reactions, conquer fears of the unknown, and prevail over closed-mindedness. In the end, Jana and Freeman's central message is that you are not the problem-but you can be the solution.
Love and Trauma
Are you a victim of abuse? Do you let it consume you because you do not know how to deal with it?Child abuse happens more frequently than anyone would like to admit. Victims are often left feeling shame, guilt, or grief for a situation that they had no control over in the first place. We should no longer swallow what happened to us as children whether it be from physical, sexual, emotional, mental, or other abuses to protect someone else. We need to be done with making abuse a norm, and it is time to say enough is enough. No longer should we be ashamed or deny what happened to us in the past because of our unresolved trauma. Trauma can affect our lives through our physical and mental health, as well as our relationships with others. Often, we will mimic the same behaviours or tendencies as our abuser because we did not find resolution in our past trauma; thus, continuing the generational cycle of abuse. All you need to heal from your trauma is by first acknowledging what happened to you and time. This seems difficult, but if you can make time to brush your teeth or play on your phone then you can make time to heal. Healing can start by doing simple things like building a relationship with your smaller self, journaling, or talking out loud about your situation. It can even be as simple as smiling at yourself as you walk by a mirror before heading out the door in the morning. Alternatively, if you continue to let your trauma consume you, it will ultimately manifest into a probable diagnosis that you may not ever recover from. Now is the time to start healing and to make time for yourself. In this book, you will learn how this small girl grew up and let her trauma consume her for over thirty-four years. Not thinking that what happened to her as a baby and into her adult life would have the repercussions that they had. Find out how she healed and found a sense of hope and peace that she did not think was possible. Through healing, she was able to find forgiveness for not only herself but also her abusers. This book is meant to help facilitate the need for healing and how unresolved trauma can pop up in your life unexpectedly. In no way, will this book give you the end all be all on how to heal because everyone experiences life differently. However, this book will provide a reference on the simple techniques that helped this woman deal with her traumas of physical, sexual, emotional, and mental abuse which can in turn help you. Healing is possible. Are you ready to start your journey? What you will learn: The cycle of generational traumasHow unresolved traumas can affect you Ways to healHow to release and let go
Reclaiming The Woods A Memoir of Healing
This is a love story. It is a journey through horrendous grief, traveling through unbelievable shock to a destination of giving, sharing love in the way it is supposed to be--universal. When I read Marlys in Heaven some time ago, my heart was deeply touched. This book is what was done with those memories.How does our culture see love? Romantic, and certainly, this was a huge part of recovery. Love is vast. I'm reminded of my high school motto: Amor Vincit Omnia. Love conquers all.When I read on, I realized that these two amazing people took that pain and, together with their faith, did so much to bring love to the less fortunate.They didn't just accept the churches' teachings; they examined who would touch their hearts and souls to do so much for Marlys's memory. It is that love that sustains them to this day. Overcoming is not the same as getting over. Simply, that beloved daughter will always remain the Grand Canyon of their hearts as they continue on their spiritual path. It seems to me they have planted beautiful flowers in that canyon in memory of the lovely Marlys. In their case, there is a strong practical aspect. The reality is that people are suffering all over the world. Fran and John have done so much to alleviate that condition. I am writing the effect this book had on me. Nothing I say will do it justice. It is a must-read for all. Not only does it highlight the huge risks they had to take, the decisions they made, the disappointment, setbacks, joys. It is a testament to Marlys, who turned grief into intense love and commitment.I am reminded of a tapestry that hangs on my office door from the Dalai Lama: This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples. No need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples. My philosophy is kindness.This is how I see Fran and John. They have taken what was the unthinkable and made it into a vibrant memorial to the beautiful Marlys. This is the sentence that summed it all up for me: "When driving along the Saint Croix River Fran said... 'I miss Marlys but I have my memories. I need to live with what I have now. Just keep driving.'" So that's what they did and are still doing--driving on.Yvonne Kaye, PhD, MSCwww.yvonnekayewisdom.com

The wife's brother, Navy Captain Frederick Wentworth, was engaged to Anne in 1806, but the engagement was broken when Anne was ""persuaded"" by her friends and family to end their relationship. Anne and Captain Wentworth, both single and unattached, meet again after a seven-year separation, setting the scene for many humorous encounters as well as a second, well-considered chance at love and marriage for Anne in her second ""bloom"".
Love, Intimacy and Online Dating
Love, Intimacy and Online Dating: How a Global Pandemic Redefined Romantic Relationships is an innovative work that explores the concept of intimacy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The book provides an overview of the online dating world and apps, the use of which gradually became common as the pandemic restricted people's interaction in the physical world. The author's extensive research conducted during the pandemic posits a comprehensive understanding of the individual's motivation to join a dating app and explores its varied aspects. This thoroughly researched book explores the themes and elements of online dating and examines the users' motivation for joining a dating app, for seeking intimacy as well as for self-presentation on the app. Portolan examines the underlying politics and role of infrastructure of dating apps and describes how gender, power, and intimacy intersect to create new intimacy phenomena. She also utilises her research to put forth the key concept of "Jagged Love", which describes a user's cyclical relationship with dating apps during the pandemic, and the gap between a user's act to seek familiar romantic narratives and the app's inability to deliver against these ideas. The chapters further explore the differences between virtual and In Real Life (IRL) intimacy, the generation of gender and the emanation of stereotypical cultural ideals that the users sought through the apps. The book serves as an invaluable discussion on the pandemic's impact on modifying the definitions of romance and intimacy. This book will be useful for highlighting the impact social factors can have on familiar concepts and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the definition of love and intimacy, making it fascinating for students, academics and professionals interested in relationships, digital media and gender. It will also be useful in enhancing the comprehension of love and romance in the fields of social science.

My Big Blended Family
Through my own co-parenting experiences I began to advocate for children and became involved with United Parents for Children 3 years ago. We are a collective group of parents from all over the world who have stood up as parents not only to advocate for children but also to advocate for healthy co parenting relationships. It then became apparent to me that family dynamics have changed a lot in recent years. Not every situation is the same. Its not uncommon see children being raised by grandparents, aunts uncles, same sex couples or other family members . I thought it was important to create books that children could relate to. I know many of children might feel embarrassed or ashamed because of their living situations at home but I just wanted to point out the importance of healthy love and support. As a parent I would never deny my child of love from a stepparent or anyone who cares for and encourages my children in a positive way. I think it's important for children to see parents and guardians getting along getting along. To be supported in all that they do. Kids need to know that it's OK to love their step parent and their family as well and should never be looked down upon down upon for it. It's OK if they are being raised by someone other than their parents. With the ever changing world I just really wanted to emphasize the positive impact being supported and loved has on our children. I hope you enjoyed this book and were able to take something positive away from it. Thank you.

The Seduction Handbook for Shy Guys
This book has been written by Paola, the typical girl of the next door, in order to beat your shyness, to make you gain self-confidence and make you loosen up when it comes to approach women. Paola will help you overcome your fears, anxieties and insecurities, so that you can establish a relationship with women with spontaneity and success. No magical formula, no pretentious and seductive playboy ready to become your guru disclosing arrogantly his precious seductive secrets. Here, you will just find a friend, why not, maybe a potential "friend with a benefit", who, with the maximum complicity of the case, looking in your eyes and holding your hand, will reassure you and push you towards new goals and seduction aims! FROM PAOLA'S INTRODUCTION Hello and welcome to the world of seduction for shy guys. Let me introduce myself: I am Paola, medium stature, brown hair with light eyes, I am a simple and joyful person, I have a job, a dog, hobbies and friends... well, I bet you recognized me: I'm here to guide you to the discovery of seduction. Sure enough, I was asked to write a book because, according to everyone, I am able to make men feel comfortable, creating a calm and enjoyable atmosphere. So, for this reason I'm addressing the people who like you, are shy and who would like to have a capable friend who could help breaking the ice with women. Maybe you're thinking that you're the only guy who's not able to approach girls you like, and all around, you see over and over again less attractive, interesting and funny men... always in company! Have you ever wondered what they have in addition in comparison with you? Do you think they have a secret move to make all girls go crazy for them? I can assure you that they do not have any secret move: often, you can win a woman over by using a word in the right moment, a nice action, a joke: well, the so-called soul willingness. You just have to put your terrible shyness apart (or use it in your favour: I will explain it!)Anyway, you have to know that you're in good company: as a matter of fact, shyness is really common among you guys, and from my experiences, I convinced myself that this causes "blocks" when a man tries to approach a woman, even if inside he would do anything to talk to her calmly. Good, it's time to make a break. I want to teach you how to overcome this problem, that right now could seem insuperable.We can also say that, nowadays, women seem free, strong, independent and this could create a lot of confusion in men. Maybe as a child you grew up with stereotypes that clash with reality: it's true, there aren't any princesses waiting for the prince charming. But do not forget that little girls too used to read the same fairy tales, and every girl, deep inside, dream of living one. So, where is the catch?Believe me if I tell you that this is a matter of points of view. For example, did you know that shy people are great observers, reflective people and in general more intelligent than anyone else? You just have to find your strength points and turn them in your advantage. How? We will see how together. For now, you just have to consider that I will bring you out from your dolt shell, and after reading and putting into practice my advices, your relationship with women will improve in a surprising way. We will start by trying to understand what kind of shy man you are; then we will work together in order to turn you into a more self-confident man; we will take a look at the female universe to understand in a better way women, their weak points, what they love and what they hate; then, I will show you some typical situation in which you can find yourself when it comes to approach a girl; I will explain to you what to do and what to say, and lastly I will give you some easy but also valid tricks to win the woman of your dreams over.

NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER - Stop working on yourself as an individual and start working on your relationship as a couple, with the help of the renowned family therapist and author of The New Rules of Marriage "This book is a road map for all of us who seek true intimacy."--GWYNETH PALTROW, founder and CEO of goop ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Wall Street Journal Not much is harder than figuring out how to love your partner in all their messy humanness--and there's also not much that's more important. At a time when toxic individualism is rending our society at every level, bestselling author and renowned marriage counselor Terrence Real sees how it poisons intimate relationships in his therapy practice, where he works with couples on the brink of disaster. The good news: Warmer, closer, more passionate relationships are possible if you have the right tools. In his transformative new book Us, Real brilliantly observes how our winner-takes-all culture infiltrates families with devastating results: repetitive fights that go nowhere, or a distant relationship in which partners end up living "alone together." With deft insight, humor, and charm, Real guides you to transform your relationship into one that's based on compassion, collaboration, and closeness. Us is a groundbreaking guide to a new science-backed skillset--one that will allow you to get past your knee-jerk reactions and tap into your wiser, more collaborative self. With a novelist's flair, Real shares the stories of couples whose relationships have been saved by these skills and pans out to the culture that reinforces our dysfunction. If you and your partner are backed into separate corners of "you" and "me," this book will show the way back to "us." With Us, your true relationship can begin.
Theories of Civil Violence
Theories of Civil Violence provides both a new look at the origins of civil upheaval and a critical examination of society theory itself. James B. Rule develops an incisive historical analysis of theories of civil violence, beginning with the classic views of Hobbes and Marx and continuing to those of Gurr, Tilly, and other present-day thinkers. He then exploits this overview to yield conclusions on the nature of and prospects for theoretical understanding of social and political life in general. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1988.
Rescuer in Recovery
I was a rescuer for 47 years I spent those years ignoring my own problems and trying to rescue everyone else. I had been socially programmed to be a rescuer by my family. Rescuing was part of my family-culture and ran through our DNA going back at least four generations. My grandfathers were rescuers too, and like me, their rescuing behaviours destroyed relationships and cost lives. My rescuing behaviours cost me two marriages, both ending in divorce, and left me burned-out and broke without food for my children on Christmas Eve. This is my story about how I chose to rescue myself first, break free of social conditioning and became a Rescuer-in-Recovery. I went from being burned-out and broke to living a thriving new life, writing a #1 Amazon best-seller and stepping into my own sovereign power. This book will show you the path to RESCUE YOURSELF FIRST and: How we can get a new perspective on our blind-spots, and find the gold in them; Why we can gain from understanding our limiting beliefs installed in childhood; How unlocking our unconscious is the key to becoming a rescuer-in-recovery; and, What actions we can take to get the right kind of help that sets us up to build a new thriving life. I help strong men and powerful women who have a deep-desire to make a positive difference in the world to learn to rescue themselves first. To overcome their unconscious negative self-beliefs and to choose to live a new vibrant life that they love. To become the person that they were always meant to be. One of my friends said to me once, "You're the first coach I've met that I don't want to punch in the face." She could bench press close to 100 kilos, so I'm really happy she didn't. And it is one of my proudest recommendations. Find out more at www.justinlodge.info
The Other Side of a Family
The Other Side of a Family is a photo album of the other side of family photos, the blank side - the side where we would like to find names and dates, locations and connections, but very few people make the effort to write identifying details. There are so many unidentified ancestors in the world! There are however definite signs of life on these other sides. Stains, torn corners and dog ears, foxing - along with manufacturing logos and processing numbers. These other sides attest to the object-ness of photos through histories of their own.
