Normal Vision?
Normal Vision? is the fourth book in the Normal? series. These books fall into the humanist style. Humanist authors seek to elucidate the societal and personal injustices of their times. While the Normal? series mentions many contemporary societal and personal injustices the various characters have faced, or are currently facing, the focus is much more on the universal solution to all injustices-that being love. In the previous books of the Normal? series, Stephen Mulrooney's stories not only bring the reader through some of the most basic and universal struggles of individual, familial, and societal life, his characters transport the reader to the answers and solutions to each of these struggles in their expressions of awareness, wisdom, open-mindedness, acceptance, mutual support, community, caring, charity, relationship, and love. Once again, Normal Vision? introduces the reader to new characters with their own individual and yet universal struggles. And just as in the past, with each new character, with their own individual "flaw", Stephen Mulrooney shows us the "flaw" is but a shadow cast upon the character by others, or society in general. As Victor Hugo stated in Les Mis矇rables, "The guilty one is not the person who has committed the sin, but the person who has created the shadow." As in the previous books, here in Normal Vision? Stephen Mulrooney reminds us of our own missed opportunities to see or do better, or more in our own lives. And then he provides for us new perspectives, new solutions to complex struggles and problems, and most importantly, new paradigms for us to consider and adopt, just as easy as every new member of the extended Poole-Hall family. Jerome Van Wert, Publisher Busterfly LLCPrologueOur son Surdas was born blind. But that never stopped him from having better-than-normal vision. Mother says, "Foresight is the best substitute for sight. It allows you to see something that everyone else is blind to, and to envision something that no one else has ever seen. When it comes to vision, the eyes do not always have it." A person with foresight has the unique ability to think and plan for the future with imagination and wisdom. We call these people visionaries, because they have the foresight to see what is invisible to everyone else and bring it into reality. They see things as they can be. They see things as they should be, not just the way they are. Their visions are the building blocks of the future. Mother says, "A visionary takes a set of Legos and turns it into a time machine. What the world does not see, the builder has already envisioned. Superman may be able to see through things, but a person with vision will see things through." Mother has inspired our entire extended family to always see things through. In doing so, he has given us better-than-normal vision. Surdas is in every sense of the word a visionary. He believes his blindness gives him insights that sighted people often don't recognize. It allows his imagination to run wild, unfettered by the weight of how things appear when they become too familiar. It allows his other senses to more than compensate for the one he is missing. It allows him to perceive things from a new perspective. He has vision where others merely have sight. Mother believes that people with sight, but who lack vision, lead normal lives, because they are blind to the magic in the world. But Surdas's life is anything but normal. Surdas has vision beyond sight. Life without vision is merely living. It is a place where dreams and fantasies come to die. Life with vision is creating. It is a place where dreams and fantasies come to life. Surdas intends to lead his life as a creator ... a builder of dreams ... a life-giver to possibilities. He intends for all his dreams and fantasies to come to life. Surdas doesn't need a mirror to see who and what he is. He sees it within.

Through Human Eyes
Through Human Eyes was a project created to connect people across generations, foster social inclusion, spark visibility, and gather community. At the heart of it, we wanted to introduce elementary school children to the amazing individuals living in a nearby retirement home-people we had come to know and admire deeply. We hoped to create a space where everyone felt welcomed, included, and empowered to shape how the project would unfold. That meant we started not with events but with many conversations-so that all voices could be heard from the beginning.This book was proudly co-created with our Olders and our VT students. It is a privilege to share a glimpse into the lives and stories of older adults, who don't always feel seen in our culture.Together, we aim to create lasting community bonds between children and the elderly, contribute to a legacy of compassion, and continue to explore what it means to be human.

Dopamine Kids
From the bestselling author of Hunt, Gather, Parent comes a revolutionary five-step guide--packed with practical, science-backed strategies--that shows you how to raise confident, happy kids while breaking the cycle of overdependence on screens and ultraprocessed foods. Nearly everything you've heard about dopamine is wrong. No, it's not the molecule of happiness. And no, it doesn't give us pleasure--it gives us motivation. For the first time in history, we are inundated with what are known as "dopamine surges" inside our brains. These surges pull us to technology like magnets, every day, many times a day. Over the past decade, neuroscientists have finally begun to figure out how these surges alter our choices, our habits, and even our moods. We've learned how dopamine can drive adults and kids to engage in activities that we don't actually enjoy--activities that can make us feel sad, lonely, anxious, and depressed. When Michaeleen Doucleff, PhD, the New York Times bestselling author of Hunt, Gather, Parent, decided to address her family's screen time and dependence on processed foods, she found that scientific study after scientific study refuted nearly all the claims she'd read in the media about dopamine and the supposed reasons we're so inclined to pick up our phones or raid the pantry. She took this new neuroscience and psychology and merged it with practical experience, shifting the power dynamic back to families: instead of devices and foods controlling us, we control them, and both screens and the pantry become tools rather than burdens. Dopamine Kids is a five-step operating manual for habit remodeling that is tailored for parents and their children. After rediscovering what's most important for your family, you'll learn how to create successful boundaries around screens and ultraprocessed foods; replace screen time with equally enticing activities; remove triggers that pull children toward screens and junk food; and, finally, celebrate your family's choices before, during, and after trying new hobbies. These five steps weaken the neurological pathways established by devices and make dopamine work in your favor to get kids to want to pursue high-quality activities that reduce anxiety, create better moods, and diversify interests. Dr. Doucleff's research culminates in a four-week plan to create screen-free sanctuaries that protect conversations, focus, sleep, and adventure. After reading Dopamine Kids, you will be empowered to create habits that genuinely fulfill your family's biological and emotional needs, bring true fulfillment and purpose to their lives, and improve their behavior, happiness, and confidence. The Anxious Generation alerted you to the danger of screens, but the demands of the twenty-first century require that you use them anyway. Dopamine Kids is your handbook for solving that fundamental problem of our times--and teaching your kids to have a healthy relationship with technology and food.

Bottle Service
An empowering, educational, and judgment-free guide to formula feeding from infant feeding technician Mallory Whitmore a.k.a. The Formula Mom. Nourishing a newborn properly is vital for healthy growth and development. While many mothers intend to breastfeed, research shows the majority of US parents will use formula before their baby's first birthday. Yet, most of these parents don't receive any meaningful support or education to explore alternative options. Instead, they are told "breast milk is best" and are inundated with anti-formula rhetoric which can foster negative feelings and outcomes when breastfeeding isn't an option. Now, formula expert Mallory Whitmore is here to guide you on successful bottle feeding throughout baby's first year. Drawing from her personal struggles as a new mom and as a leader in the infant feeding space, Whitmore candidly shares her experiences of trial, error, and triumph and covers essential topics such as choosing the right formula, safe bottle preparation, feeding strategies, and troubleshooting common issues like reflux and gas. Whitmore also focuses on supporting mental health and dismantling harmful societal pressures, with tips to find joy in this journey. With its evidence-based insights and deep empathy for the realities of parenthood, Bottle Service represents a groundbreaking shift away from guilt-driven narratives. It celebrates formula as a valid option for families and offers a much-needed lifeline to parents looking to nourish their babies with confidence and without shame.

You Will Never Hear The River Sing The Same Song Twice
INTRODUCTION I know the world has a craving for public wistfulness. So if you are expecting me to be sorry for the decisions I made, forget about it. Or if you think I am a sinner and that I should repent, put down this book! it is definitely not meant for you. This here is for the core human spirit, it is living fully and truly. This memoir is my life as I have by far come to live it. I wrote it for entities who see themselves in the faces of other people, in progressive change albeit the price, because really there is so much to gain if it takes you to lose all your security to make the world a habitable place. It is not for the ones who look for assurance in the mirror.It is for for the ones who are whole because they had once shattered in pieces. This is for the little child that finds joy in being around the scent of his old grandparents, and he is in wonder and hangs on to every word that escapes their lips. Yet tender as he is, sees himself in the melting skin of his grandlove who now the community he built calls a witch. There are parts of me here that remained untold until this moment, things that my family do not know about me. But like the phoenix bird that builds a nest of wood, burns it and sits in the heart of the flames because it understands that transformation means sacrifice. If you have this book in your hands, it means I am in the heart of the crackling fire. Flip a page, tread this path with me
Follow the Formula
**AUDIO BOOK AVAILABLE* I always get asked, "What makes my book/parenting strategy better or different?" Imagine a good athlete with plenty of natural talent who finally, finally, gets the right coach. Potential unleashed. At last, a universal guide to teach us how to be a more effective parent. Dr. Brian Rees has dedicated over 17 years and more than 45,000 hours of family counseling to develop a system known as Tri-C Parenting. This fundamental and timeless approach prioritizes realistic expectations - exactly what parents need to shape the happiest and healthiest version of their child, especially in today's world. The Three C's: -Clear - See your child through clear eyes, allowing your expectations to match reality.-Confident - Promote your child's core confidence.-Complete - Fulfill your parenting throughout the first 18 years of your child's life. After years of utilizing Tri-C with excellent results, Dr. Rees explains his successful philosophy to help parents implement this powerful model at home. About The Tri-C Parenting Model: Parents are the number one agent of outcome in a child's life, more than any teacher, coach, or friend. The fundamental Tri-C model is about showing you how to realistically navigate whatever parent-child concerns you might have, and how to effectively raise your kid to become a rock-solid human being. The latest findings reviewed in 2019 from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that nearly one in three children suffer from some kind of mental/behavioral disorder. Whether humans are six or sixteen-years-old, kids haven't been on the planet long enough for tons of personal dysfunction to build; however, with many children, dysfunction appears to be present, and a major contributor is ineffective parenting. Regardless of what any adult or child happens to be like, or what the world is forcing upon our kids, if there was one legitimate approach conveyed in such a way that nearly every parent could grasp and implement correctly, that would be awesome. A valid guidebook, so to speak. While absolute perfection is non-existent, this fundamentals-heavy blueprint continues to clinically prove it can make things so much better for all types of families, despite the variables and challenges.
When Staying Hurts

A reflection of what so many women endure quietly. It's a story about breaking cycles, healing from within, and learning that sometimes, the bravest thing you'll ever do is walk away.When Staying Hurts: The Cost of Holding on Too Long is a story of purpose rising from pain, of lessons born from love, and the woman who discovered that the absence didn't break her-it built her,

Hope on Wheels
What do you do when you're a teenager trapped in the middle of a large, dysfunctional family in a small, dying Oregon mill town and your whole life is thrust into chaos? What any rational person would do-escape, in any way you can. For LL O'Brien, escape meant riding her bike across the country, spending three months learning about missionary work (while seeking the perfect tan) in southern Brazil, then cycling across Europe towards an epiphany at the Vatican that planted the seeds of faith and illuminated a path to liberation. When LL O'Brien's father died suddenly in his forties-leaving his widow, nine children ranging in age from twenty-two to two, and a complicated legacy of dysfunction-her already fractured family was in danger of imploding. Inspired by the summer bicycling adventures of her high school theater teacher, her mother took six of the nine kids on a winding, 4,500-mile cross-country bike trip, starting in Oregon's Willamette Valley and ending in New York City. Along the way they discovered an inner strength and resolve that allowed them to start trusting and appreciating one another. Three years later, when four of the siblings spent a summer cycling through Europe facing ludicrous situations-such as losing a brother in Italy for two days-they began to love one another. These coming-of-age adventures gave the author renewed energy for whatever would come next, enabling her to leave her past behind and forge a future grounded in hope.Entertaining at every turn, Hell Hope on Wheels is a roadmap for a resilient, fulfilling life.
A Political Love
In this deeply personal and politically charged memoir, a White woman reflects on her relationship with a Black freedom fighter - and her pregnancy with their child - during South Africa's turbulent transition from Apartheid to democracy. Drawing from meticulously kept personal journals, she examines the pivotal entanglement between the personal and the political at a moment of profound societal change. What unfolds is an unflinching examination of a complex mixed-race relationship, motherhood in a society on the brink of transformation, and bodies that move with staggering clarity where reason cannot reach. Her choice of this man as the father of her child forces her to contemplate the values and burdens of her Afrikaner upbringing, and to navigate the disquieting shift from political privilege to potential marginalisation in the new era of Black leadership. Amidst it all, something indomitable emerges: the child's wise, enduring love - tenderly electing these two bodies as the soul of belonging. Nobonke van Tonder is an elder in the Mjoli clan of the amaXhosa and a critically acclaimed South African dancer and psychologist. She lives in Cape Town.
