Split in Two
My 8-year-old identity was splintered more than once after our family's illegal escape from New York city into a 13-year exile in communist Czechoslovakia and China. My parents, captivated and dominated by the teachings of Marx and Lenin fled the United States in the 1950's to fulfill the vision of a communist future. Uprooted, we fled from one country to the next to escape the FBI who were searching for us. We ultimately settled in Czechoslovakia. This country became the anchor for my personal roots, my friends, my culture, my security. As abruptly as we left the United States, after thirteen years without warning we returned. I had no say in whether I go back with my family or Io remain in Czechoslovakia. After my return to the States I struggled with confusion and internal chaos. Where do I belong? What is my identity? Grieving the loss of my Czech self I was resistant to Americanizing. Dependent on political forces that controlled our lives during my growing up I did not have the skills to define my own path in a country that was alien to me. I was adrift in my lack of identity, searching for my place and a way of integrating the discordant parts of myself. At age 57 I attended my first yoga class. Unsettled, unsure, awkwardly participating in an unknown world of postures and poses. Uncertain about returning for the next class I indecisively placed my hand on the doorknob to open it to go into the room; I hesitated, should I go in? Should I leave? Should I stay? And so started the most powerful and transformative relationship between my mind and my body. My relationship with yoga postures, my breath, and the study of yoga philosophy, gave me a structure for reconnecting with emotions I subconsciously suppressed as a way of surviving conflicting realities. In my final letter to my deceased parents, I write about our differing paths: mine a more private, internal one initiated by yoga; theirs an outward directed one to change the world, and how I reconciled our differences. This is my story about my fractured early experiences, and how through yoga I developed a stronger sense of self, a process that helped heal past wounds, and become one.
The Step-Father's Step-Son
In The Step-Father's Step-Son, Barbara M. Cox takes a stand for a man's first wife and the children of his first wife. The laws of this land care for neither except to offer social services that are funded by the overburdened taxpayer.Adultery is encouraged and accepted in this country. It is our most sacred sin. The breakup of the family in this manner is only possible with laws, lawyers, and law enforcement officials. There are many in this country that trust in these "lords" to tell them what is right and wrong based upon their laws. (Even Sarai called Abram her "lord," meaning a highly respected man.) As a result, many children have been aborted, families have been split apart by divorce and remarriage after divorce, and children have been abandoned so that a man can play house with another woman. When a parent divorces and then remarries, the step-parents and their children, in many cases, become the heirs. Our lawyers and their cronies are cursing the parents and children of the first family.Jesus said, "Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy god, and him only shalt thou serve" (Matthew 4:10). It is time that we awake from our slumber and stop letting the "lords" in our land make decisions for us that are contradictory to the teachings of Jesus. Our lawyers and other lords tempt us to do things that we should not, just as Satan tempted Jesus.
Confessions of a Crummy Mummy - The Baby Years
Unashamedly oversharing the truth about the first yearConfessions of a Crummy Mummy - The Baby Years by parenting blogger and accidental mum of four Natalie Brown (@confessionsofacrummymummy) is the literary equivalent of the tea and toast you're handed after giving birth: warm, reassuring and you can't help but want more!An antidote to the traditional parenting manual, the telling-it-how-it-is parenting memoir lifts the lid on a subject the hugely successful genre of telling-it-how-it-is parenting memoirs has yet to touch on: giving birth during a global pandemic. And let's just say giving birth during a global pandemic was not in the birth plan!An easy-to-digest and quick-paced list-style format offers a collection of witty and brutally honest confessions time-poor mums can dip in and out of and back into again. Starting with the birth and what really happens to your lady bits after pushing a human being out of your foo-foo, chapters are split into confessions on subjects including breastfeeding, weaning, homeschooling and washing - and what happens when you find yourself doing it all in the middle of a global pandemic.The light-hearted and entertaining confessions are peppered with heartfelt thoughts, frustrations, and home truths about the first year that every mum will relate to, making the book a perfect gift and must-read for all new (and not so new) mamas feeling like they're doing too many things and none of them well.
Maternalism Reconsidered
Beginning in the late 19th century, competing ideas about motherhood had a profound impact on the development and implementation of social welfare policies. Calls for programmes aimed at assisting and directing mothers emanated from all quarters of the globe, advanced by states and voluntary organizations, liberals and conservatives, feminists and anti-feminists - a phenomenon that scholars have since termed 'maternalism'. This volume reassesses maternalism by providing critical reflections on prior usages of the concept, and by expanding its meaning to encompass geographical areas, political regimes and cultural concerns that scholars have rarely addressed. From Argentina, Brazil and Mexico City to France, Italy, the Netherlands, the Soviet Ukraine, the United States and Canada, these case studies offer fresh theoretical and historical perspectives within a transnational and comparative framework. As a whole, the volume demonstrates how maternalist ideologies have been employed by state actors, reformers and poor clients, with myriad political and social ramifications.

Help Your Child Deal with Failure
Why do some people go through very difficult challenges and find it easy to move on?How are some people able to bounce back after going through horrible situations?Failure is an integral part of every human's life, why then are we not taught about it from childhood?Why does society place such a high value on basic education but neglect important life issues like grief, financial intelligence, self-esteem and failure?Many of us who are parents today were never taught these skills, so when we have children, we don't equip them either. How can you teach what you don't know? Therefore, we repeat the cycle of having children that life happens to, and they coast through it never quite grasping the lessons along the way. This book has been written to put an end to that vicious cycle.Imagine a world where children are raised from home properly equipped with knowledge about real-life issues coupled with the wealth of education?

Equip Your Child For Life
Raising children is such an important responsibility; and it's a shame that we are not doing more as a society to help parents get it right. The result is that our society is at a crossroad and our children are leaving home without the life-tools they need to make it in a complicated and often confusing world. In this book, you will learn how to help your children develop seven crucial virtues, values and mind-sets that will equip them to excel and succeed - as they deal with the complexities of growing up in a negative and God-rejecting world.

In a time of uncertainty, family is most important as we look into how this pandemic has affected the world as well as pay homage and give thanks to all the frontline workers who remained in the workforce in such trying times.

The Science of Mom
Now updated! The new edition of this best-selling guide uses science to tackle some of the most important decisions facing new parents--from sleep training and vaccinations to breastfeeding and baby food. Is cosleeping safe? How important is breastfeeding? Are food allergies preventable? Should we be worried about the aluminum in vaccines? Searching for answers to these tough parenting questions can yield a deluge of conflicting advice. In this revised and expanded edition of The Science of Mom, Alice Callahan, a science writer whose work appears in the New York Times and the Washington Post, recognizes that families must make their own decisions and gives parents the tools to evaluate the evidence for themselves. Sharing the latest scientific research on raising healthy babies, she covers topics like the microbiome, attachment, vaccine safety, pacifiers, allergies, increasing breast milk production, and choosing an infant formula.
Kickin It in O.N.C.
This second book of "The Children of Bradford" series follows the tale of young love, a continuation of the story of Kadeem Betancourt and Chenelle Henderson, a pair of High School sweethearts who have decided to attend Howard University, one of the most prestigious Historically Black College and University (HBCU) in the world. The age-old warning children give their parents, teachers and friends; "wait 'til I grow up and get away from here...." is always met with; "What You Gonna Do When You Get There?" Well, now that they are here in O.N.C, Our Nation's Capital, they will have ample time to experience the evolution of 'being grown-up', to understand that it is much harder to deliver on the adolescent threat of 'wait 'til I ...!" No longer shielded by the direct safety net of home in small-town USA, they must adapt to the fickle world of college life, develop new friendships that somewhat replace the small circle of friends they grew up with and deal with the joy and pain of the thing we call love on an even grander scale. As with any other sequel, if you haven't read the first or previous book, you have done yourself a slight disservice so there are many hints for you to do so. However, if you don't wish to read the first book, you will find yourself engrossed in curiosity, yearning to find out what comes next and projecting you own thoughts and feelings into the pages, leaving them dog-eared until you get back to it. It is my hope that you enjoy sharing my imagination, reminiscing about your days in college or anticipating the angst you or your child will experience on the Yard, wherever that may be. I had the privilege to be a 'House Man' go Maroon Tigers.

Denied Love
The Non-fiction book speaks about the experience of being denied love even before birth, and after. The author shares about past, present, and future love. The intense experience of a child before birth. The male child had encounters with angels and was born gifted and anointed. A very fascinating story with every emotion that's possible. This book is one of a kind and you will not be able to put it down. There's a huge surprise at the end that will change your perspective on how to love and to be loved.
Adult Children
In this Wising Up Anthology, fifty writers explore-with zest, angst, humor, humility, anger, and love-through stories, poems, memoirs and creative non-fiction, our constantly changing and, hopefully, maturing relationships with those we raised and those who raised us. What defines adulthood nowadays? Or ever? In particular when do we see our own children as adults? When they are older than we were at the age we had them? When they have children of their own? Are fully self-supporting? What about the prematurely adult children some of us were or tried to be-where have they gone? And the lost and needy children in us? Are they still active? When our parents are failing, what is an adult to adult relationship then? When we have been completely dependent on someone-or fully responsible for them-is full parity ever possible? Desirable?

Crystal Children, Indigo Children and Adults of the Future
Once upon a time people believed that the Earth was flat and this was their truth, until somebody discovered otherwise. The world had changed, but in reality it was only people's view of the world that had changed, since the Earth had been round from its beginning. Now the Earth is moving into a new time and a new spiritual dimension opens up within peoples' hearts. A spiritual dimension that has been there all the time, but which people were formerly incapable of comprehending and thus responding to. The pure spirit energy is right now about to invade the Earth completely. Not as a strong white light or a great holy Angel descending from above, but through all the children of The New Time who are born now and in the years to come. They are born with the pure Spiritual energy fully integrated in their body. 1995 was the year where all children were born with a pure Indigo aura. 2012 is the year where pure Crystal Children will be born on this Earth but already from 2004 we have been seeing Crystal energy being slowly integrated into the aura of the Indigo Children. Common to the children born from 1995 and onwards is that they all possess some characteristics and values very different from their parents and previous generations. Parents, grandparents, kindergartens, schools, as well the whole of society stand at the threshold of great challenges concerning the fulfilment of these children's future needs such as in education and human development. It's critical for society to quickly learn more about these children, what they are like, what their needs are, and what impact they will have on all adults and our future society in general.

Balance on All Levels with the Crystal and Indigo Energies
This book is an expanded and updated version of Anni Sennov's previous book "Crystal Children, Indigo Children and Adults of the Future" and it gives you good all-round insight into what it means to be a New Time Indigo and Crystal child/person and how the Indigo and Crystal energies, now and in the future, will affect everyone's lives, life values and day to day existence on Planet Earth. The Indigo and Crystal energies have already arrived on Earth. Not in the form of a strong white light or a great holy Angel descending from above but through all the children of the New Time born from the mid-1980s onwards and many more New Time children are yet to come. They are born with pure spiritual energy and total balance fully integrated in their bodies. However, for adults with a soul aura structure, the New Time energy does not appear by itself. It must be chosen consciously. You can achieve this through an AuraTransformation(TM), which is a permanent and radical expansion of your personal consciousness. It gives you more radiance, drive and intuition and also helps you to better define who you are and what you want. It is a condition of being aura-transformed that you read this book so that you are fully informed and aware of the effects of integrating the New Time energy into your aura.

Legends of the Twins Cirpaci
In 2001, the author and her husband traveled to Romania to adopt their two-year old son. Upon arrival, they received the shocking news that he had a twin sister with special needs living at the same orphanage. Legends of the Twins Cirpaci describes their frantic three-year effort to adopt her and reunite her with her brother, all in the midst of Romania's moratorium on intercountry adoption as the country attempted to join the European Union. The book also recounts the deleterious impact of Romania's harsh orphanage system on the children's development in various areas of their lives, and their courage in overcoming these challenges. Compelling and poignant, this is a story that every parent (not just adoptive parent) could benefit from reading. Unlike many adoption books, it also includes the twins' perspectives on what happened to them. As such, older adopted children might also find it helpful. Both biography and parenting narrative, it describes a nearly unbelievable (but it really did happen!) situation in a relatable way. Filled with humor and heart, Legends of the Twins Cirpaci is ultimately a triumph of the extraordinary power of care, the capacity of human beings to overcome severe deprivation, and the beauty of the human spirit. Legends of the Twins Cirpaci is a heart-warming and sometimes heart-wrenching tale of a journey of love, determination, patience, and humor. Reading it is a reminder of all that family can be in its best incarnation, and that belonging does not depend on biology. A wonderful, funny read.Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America; author of Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family
Gladness Goes to the City
Gladness is about seventeen, She has no friend to help her, no family, no job, and not much money, but she is suffused with good will and perseverance. It is February 1914. Compelled to leave high school, Gladness has come to the city and will look for work. She will make some additions to her simple wardrobe, and her first task is to select a new hat.Gladness is the invention of newspaper writer and artist Marguerite Martyn. In sixteen chapters and as many illustrations, Martyn takes you from the arrival in the city of this young country girl to her first rented room in a formerly pretentious mansion, through her weeks selling gloves from behind the counter of a big department store, her nights out with the girls, her attempt to become a model, and how she has to count her pennies to afford her lunch.Then there was Reggie Van Stripling, whose imperious mother discovered the two of them hidden away in a side-street cafe, various ancient men who'd rather look at Gladness than at the art on museum walls, and that snotty boss of hers, who struts around fluffing out his frock coat like a black-and-white turkey cock with striped legs.You meet them all through the writing and illustrations of one of the most talented newspaper sketch artists of the Twentieth Century. In this ebook-only version of GLADNESS GOES TO THE CITY: WITH A SURPRISING CODA, you can take your time to examine Marguerite Martyn's fine, detailed drawings of life in the America's fourth largest metropolis in the year 1914: A wealthy woman planning a tea for her cronies, the would-be "golf instructor" (and a caddy who might be Cupid), and the recent widow with her teenage-daughter-who-would-like-to-be-older.Not to mention the square-jawed streetcar driver and the little kid that Gladness saves from being smooshed by a speeding automobile.BUT THERE IS MORE: A surprising finale that might change the way you view this story. A trenchant remonstrance about last century's woman and her powerful boss, written two decades into this one.
