Sahleen take you on an incredible voyage from the perspective of a smart and mischievous child, to the adolescent years of a girl who grew up way too fast and learns many lessons about life, love, and loyalty the hard way while navigating the streets of San Diego, CA. For T.L. Sahleen, surrounded by drug dealers and gang bangers with peer-pressure pounding on her door, coming of age meant solicitations to sell drugs, do drugs, and sexual propositions she managed to escape by exploring the arts. However, that didn't prevent her from witnessing her mother's life slowly fade away or learning that while blood may be thicker than water, water taste more pleasant than blood when it comes to family in her adult years. Despite it all, she remains focused on the dream, knowing hardship is only temporary and remembering, "I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination." About The Author T.L. Sahleen was born in St. Paul, MN, raised in San Diego, CA, and then later resided in Myrtle Beach, SC, Atlanta, GA, and Pasadena, CA. She loves all genres of music and dance, beaches, and especially history. She is a mother who has always been determined not to let the trials and tribulations of life prevent her from pursuing her dreams. One day T.L. Sahleen envisioned herself writing an inspirational memoir and began drafting the outline of her life story, "You Told Me This is Only Temporary." With the desire to turn her book into a seven-part mini-series, she joined the sets of various films shot in and around the Atlanta and Minneapolis areas, which enabled her to network with industry professionals while learning the basics of the film and music industries. T.L. worked on the production of Stomp the Yard, ATL, The Gospel, The Fighting Temptations, Drumline, and MTV's Yo Momma. Most recently, she's involved herself with multiple TV and film projects in Atlanta, several of which allowed her to work with directors Tyler Perry and Barry Jenkins. She has also worked with various community events and awards shows, such as Rondo Days, Frogtown Festival, The KMOJ Car & Bike Showout, Minneapolis Urban League's Family Day, and the Steve Harvey Neighborhood Awards. T.L. attended DD's Dance Studio, Nick Conti's Professional Actors Studio, and the Minnesota Dance Theater to enhance her acting and dancing abilities. She was an intern at JOI Studios, formerly the recording studio home of R&B group Jagged Edge. While working in the marketing/promotions department at JOI, she realized another passion for promoting and event planning. In 2009 T.L. won a contest sponsored by director F. Gary Gray for the most creative and dedicated Twitter promoter for his film Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler. The prize was a personal invite by the director to the red-carpet movie premiere and after-party. She has planned, promoted, and hosted events, such as a Mother's Day Ball, Harlem Nights Affair, and Les Twins Dance Workshops.

El Diácono Francisco Enderle, ex Director Ejecutivo del Diaconado Permanente de la Arquidiócesis de Washington y el ex Director de Formación del Clero de la Diócesis de Sacramento comenzó en el año 2000 a escribir homilías en español para publicación en Internet. Este libro es el segundo tomo de la serie Homilias/Homilies Domingo/Sunday Ciclo/Cycle C. Contiene 57 homilías en español, con sus traducciones al inglés. Fue escrito para los predicadores que prefieren leer las homilías en libro en vez de en el Internet. La diferencia entre este libro bilingüe y otros es que las homilías fueron escritas en español y traducidas al inglés y no al revés, como se suele hacer en otros libros. Esperamos que estos libros sean útiles tanto para los predicadores de habla Hispana como para los de habla Inglesa que tienen que predicar en español.Deacon Frank Enderle, former Executive Director of the Permanent Diaconate in the Archdiocese of Washington and former Director of Clergy Formation in the Diocese of Sacramento, began writing and publishing homilies in Spanish on the Internet in 2000. This book is the second in the Homilias/Homilies Domingo/Sunday Ciclo/Cycle B series. It contains Spanish homilies with English translations. It is published specifically for those who preach who prefer to read the homilies in book format rather than on the Internet. The difference between this bilingual book and others is that these homilies were originally written in Spanish and translated into English, not vice-versa, as in other books. We hope that these books will be useful to native Spanish speakers who preach as well as to native English speakers who find they must preach in Spanish.

Suicide, depression, anxiety, bullying, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), and more. These are just some of the abnormal side effects of life. We have warning labels on just about anything nowadays-Almost...but life. Abnormal Side Effects is a collection of short stories and otherwise, penned by Robert J. S. T. McCartney. It also includes the never before released novelette The Crystal Manor. Society prefers to drown out many of these as a lesser matter of concern. Instead, society pushes the lives of celebrities in our faces, promotes unhealthy habits, kick us down, and desensitize us. Some people encourage others that need help and are suicidal, that "they should just kill themselves," and more absurdities. Many of the following stories take into account depression, family issues, trauma, bullying, and other subjects that go on every day in our lives. While these matters may be taboo to people on the street, society typically turns a blind eye and even goes so far as to further shame and shun those that break from the definition of what we regard as normal. Each tale offers a unique vision to the reader. You will explore just an inkling of the many side effects one experiences in life. Something that so many people do daily. Through the highs and the lows, some tellings may be more disturbing than others, but rest assured, this is just a clinical study. There are no consequences of your actions here. Now . . . it's time to take a dose of reality. WARNING: Life is real.
