Grandma, Why Do You Have Cracks In Your Face? is a question many grandmothers have heard from their grandchildren. When a grandchild finds her beautiful lost doll, she understands beauty is more than skin deep.

In the United States, as in many countries, we''re a culture that supports and values intellectual quotient (IQ) development in our educational systems. However, we neglect the emotional quotient (EQ) as it''s not mainstream in our schools unless a person chooses to study the field of psychology. Emotions can play havoc in our personal and professional lives in times of change if we don''t develop our emotional intelligence. Dr. W. Edwards Deming said, "It''s not mandatory to change. Survival is not mandatory."With all that the world faces today, the pandemic, racial tensions, frequent hurricanes, and forest fires have challenged humanity in ways unprecedented. Our moral compasses don''t always point true north due to this myriad of disruptions. Our emotions, especially fear and anger, can derail a person, or groups of people quickly. We''re being challenged to navigate life in new ways, which requires us to move to higher levels of consciousness, or being awake and more aware of one''s surroundings.The Spirit That Soars! contains a multitude of pathways that a person may choose to follow in "waking up" to life. This book is a compilation of true stories, experiences, and conversations. The tools and exercises have been tried and tested and found to be true to their intent; some are designed for personal use and others for groups of people. The big D of diversity is the basis of this work and relates to all cultures, ethnic backgrounds, gender, age, religious beliefs, economic levels, and education. It''s time to awaken.

Are veterinarians real doctors? Turns out the answer is yes. What''s a Real Doctor? fills the perceived chasm between a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and a human Medical Doctor at an early age. Tristan, Cooper, and Clara have a thoughtful discussion to compare both careers from a child''s perspective. Their discussion, without a doubt, leaves everyone a little more confident and a little more informed on what veterinarians actually do that makes them a real doctor.

Getting Older Ain''t for Sissies is a commonsense introduction to the changes we experience as we age. It is not intended to be a complete medical book but rather a practical introduction to aging written with some humor and illustrations. It can be used as a supplement or guide when talking with your doctor or to your family to help them understand what you are experiencing and to help plan for future needs.

Gettysburg! To most people, the very name conjures up images of war, death, destruction, horrified screams, and all manner of damage and ruin. But to three people growing up there in the mid-1860s, it was simply home. Jennie Wade, Jack Skelly, and Wesley Culp played tag in the streets, tossed pebbles into Rock Creek, and fished from its banks. They shared each other''s secrets and dreams of the future. But none foresaw what would happen when war reached their little town. Gettysburg is situated a mere ten miles north of the Mason-Dixon Line, a hub where over half a dozen roads converge. So when war started, it was not inconceivable that the village would, sooner or later, be touched by it. And touch it, it did! For three days in July 1863, the battle raged in and around the town until, when it was over, a village that numbered about two thousand souls suddenly found itself caring for over twenty thousand wounded from both sides. In the midst of all the tragedy, three friends emerged. One joined the Union Army, the other the Confederate Army, and Jennie stayed behind. War, like death, will not be ignored, and it came to visit each of them in its own way. Life too holds many secrets, including how it ends. As close as the three were in life, they would never learn each other''s secret ending.

This book is about getting rid of our strongholds (which are nothing but false and distorted beliefs). Most times, we plant rocks and boulders in our own path, thinking we are planting seeds for growth. It''s time to do away with the finger-pointing and accept accountability for ourselves. In order to see the bigger picture of things, you must be willing to let go of old beliefs that never helped you in the first place. This book will lead you to the natural Fuji waters, but it''s your decision to drink it. We are all different, but we share the same dream. That dream is to learn our purpose in life and to be at peace with ourselves and others. This book is my unconditional love to you in my most sobering expression. Think, feel, and apply.Imani (peace).

The Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) integration was a complicated process. Though a plan had been implemented in 1970, this plan was reversed by a higher court in 1981 resulting in school closings, teacher transfers, and students bussed miles from home just days before school started. These unexpected changes put burdens on principals, teachers, and staff, as they did their best in a time of uncertainty. These stories, many never shared before, took place during the court-ordered integration plan, and the process of trying to educate students despite the chaos. They examine the experience of combining students from differing cultures, while striving for positive results for all. These differences were not always black or white. Dr. Mack Hargis, former teacher, coach, principal, and school board member, offers an insiders perspective on the path to the MNPSs integration.

Missing Michael is a collection of thoughts that went through the author's mind as he sat and watched his son get completely taken over by cancer, sitting there by his bed the last ninety days of his life in Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Florida. Sometimes, he and his wife would not sleep for two or three days, just listening to him breathe. The things his son went through, he could never do. When his son would be in ICU, there were no beds for them; they would take turns sleeping on the floor by his bed with a pillow and blanket, just to be near him; in case he would wake up, he would see them. One never knows what can go through a person's mind when you are just sitting there, helpless, while your son just dies, right in front of you. You think of things you should have done and the things you should not have done. You want to trade places with him so bad you pray every night and day for god to let him live, knowing his days are slipping away faster than anything you ever wanted. Michael was so strong, but he hated needles. When he was getting ready for the full-body radiation, they had to pull any teeth that may come out early, because he would bleed really bad. They pulled out two, and the numbness wore off; they told him he needed another shot in his mouth for the last one. He hated needles so bad; he just said, "Go on and pull it out now, no more needles." So, they pulled it without his mouth being numb. That was Michael Lynn, and his father misses him so.
