Book excerpt: “Moving Forward arrives at a moment when inspiration, insight, and optimism are in short supply. Karine Jean-Pierre delivers all three in abundance.” —Stacey Abrams, author of Lead from the Outside “Karine Jean-Pierre illuminates her path to insider status so others can follow in her footsteps.”—Essence “Jean-Pierre inspires us to get involved in politics—every single one of us, no matter where we are from or who we are.”—The Atlantic Most political origin stories have the same backbone. A bright young person starts reading the Washington Post in elementary school. She skips school to see a presidential candidate. In middle school she canvasses door-to-door. The story can be intimidating. It reinforces the feeling that politics is a closed system: if you weren’t participating in debate club, the Young Democrats and Model UN you have no chance. Karine Jean-Pierre’s story breaks the mold. In Moving Forward, she tells how she got involved, showing how politics can be accessible to anyone, no matter their background. In today’s political climate, the need for all of us to participate has never been more crucial. This book is her call to arms for those who know that now is the time for us to act.

Book excerpt: "When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on."Franklin D. RooseveltI've been hanging onto my knot-filled rope for what seems forever. Is there room for one more knot? I doubt it. Eating disorders and mental illness, in general, do that to you, secretly tearing you apart from the core until there's no vision left. 2019 was to mark the start of my recovery from a long-term eating disorder. It was to be a new beginning. With the help of a newly-found passion, photography, my inner knotted rope was unravelling, clearing the way for embracing new opportunities now and in the future. I had much to look forward to. Plans were big for 2020, but the year had hardly started when COVID-19 spread throughout the world. I'm Sam; I live in Geelong, a beautiful city within Victoria, Australia, and this feeling of hanging on is nothing new. Maybe you feel you have been hanging on for most of your life, too. The universe certainly did that for all of us in 2020. This book is a real-life story and pictorial account of survival and resilience, about that year. Resilience is a roadmap chronicling my journey through 2020, holding onto that rope and hoping for a miracle. While I have written and photographed the story from my family's perspective, it's relevant for all. We each have our own story of struggle and, together, our stories reflect the experiences of our greater society. Many of us have surprised ourselves with our ability to hold onto our rope through the really tough times and bounce back.Resilience is about adjusting our vision and nurturing self in a challenging year. Go ahead, give yourself a well-deserved hug! You deserve it.

Through conversations with victims of violence, disease, war, and the loss of loved ones, Elizabeth explores the meaning and power of hope to heal our lives.Through discussions with well-known figures like Anne Romney and Diane Von Furstenburg, spiritual leaders like Archbishop John C. Wester and Elder Richard Hinckley, and her own parents, Ed and Lois Smart, Elizabeth gives readers the tools they need to take control and embrace life.

Book excerpt: Moving forward in hope may seem out of reach, but it's not impossible. As we walk our journey of a loved one identifying as LGBTQ+, we have a choice to make. We either invite God into our pain and allow Him to minister to us, or we push Him aside and attempt to navigate our losses and challenges without Him. Moving Forward in Hope is a collection of 90 devotions that can help you advance toward confidence in God's plan for you and your LGBTQ+ loved one. Today you may not know what to say to God, your loved one, or other people about this journey. You may feel angry, ashamed, bewildered, and adrift. Denise Shick has been there, and the people whose stories are shared in this devotional have been there. Their courage to step toward God, faith, and hope can inspire you to move forward too. As we empty ourselves of deep grief, disappointments, and heartache, we can welcome God into those deep hurts and embrace Him as He brings healing to our spirit and heart. Invite the God of the Universe to walk with you through your pain. As you focus on His presence and promises, your journey will no longer seem impossible.
