Book excerpt: Reflecting on our past often reminds us of the times when we were voiceless, unseen, covered with unworthiness and low self-esteem as we struggle to survive in the rivalry nets of opinions and judgement of others. Belinda has experienced several moments where her light was dimmed by inconsiderate and harsh behavior from those who were meant to celebrate her - An injustice that ultimately led her to embrace the sparkle hidden within. Belinda's story serves as a reminder that we have enough sparkle within us to radiate through the dust placed upon us by the actions and words of others. Born to Sparkle is a celebration of who she became and somehow always was. It is a tribute to past successes that was never celebrated, as well as an award to her present self; it is a glow of hope that will light the way to her destined future. Belinda is the proud mom of Ryan, who is the one who reminded her that she has a voice. She believes that we need to be the change we want to see, and thus uses her Sparkle to influence the lives of those around her. This is my journey on how my life experienced transformed me to be the better version of myself, and that can be for you too. God sees our heart, but we as humans often deny or don't take accountability for what is required from us. If we start honoring ourselves, we will start honoring God. My book also deals with a lot of healing, practical tools that can help you too, just fit it to suit your situation or circumstance. Your past doesn't divine you, you have a purpose, you are worthy, you are loved, you are a child of God. The world needs you!!! So please understand just because something is over, does not mean your life is over, this chapter is not your story, this moment is not your identity, this pain is not your life. You have to believe that the tables of your life will turn, this pain will become power, this weakness will become strength, and this confusion will become peace. My message is to bring awareness that you are more than your circumstances, don't let the world make you see things differently, act differently. Step into your true authentic self. We all have a sparkle inside of us, find your light, find your sparkle and make it shine, and keep on sparkling, we are all born to sparkle!!!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

Scott, New York Times Book Review, cover review Following on the heels of his New York Times bestselling novel Telegraph Avenue, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon delivers another literary masterpiece: a novel of truth and lies, family legends, and existential adventure—and the forces that work to destroy us. In 1989, fresh from the publication of his first novel, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, Michael Chabon traveled to his mother’s home in Oakland, California, to visit his terminally ill grandfather. Tongue loosened by powerful painkillers, memory stirred by the imminence of death, Chabon’s grandfather shared recollections and told stories the younger man had never heard before, uncovering bits and pieces of a history long buried and forgotten. That dreamlike week of revelations forms the basis for the novel Moonglow, the latest feat of legerdemain from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon. Moonglow unfolds as the deathbed confession of a man the narrator refers to only as “my grandfather.” It is a tale of madness, of war and adventure, of sex and marriage and desire, of existential doubt and model rocketry, of the shining aspirations and demonic underpinnings of American technological accomplishment at midcentury, and, above all, of the destructive impact—and the creative power—of keeping secrets and telling lies. It is a portrait of the difficult but passionate love between the narrator’s grandfather and his grandmother, an enigmatic woman broken by her experience growing up in war-torn France. It is also a tour de force of speculative autobiography in which Chabon devises and reveals a secret history of his own imagination. From the Jewish slums of prewar South Philadelphia to the invasion of Germany, from a Florida retirement village to the penal utopia of New York’s Wallkill prison, from the heyday of the space program to the twilight of the “American Century,” the novel revisits an entire era through a single life and collapses a lifetime into a single week. A lie that tells the truth, a work of fictional nonfiction, an autobiography wrapped in a novel disguised as a memoir, Moonglow is Chabon at his most moving and inventive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.
