This work is very much an analysis. It is aimed at pinpointing and highlighting specific elements of three major themes. Based on common life experiences, the themes outline both benefits and challenges of life's transitions. Life's transitions are outlined in seasons to encourage and lend edification. The chapters lead the reader to survey biblical scriptures, stories and analogies with life's key principles, building blocks and prayers. The chapters close by focusing on life's analysis using seasonal reviews. A study guide and journal are included for the benefit of young and older readers.

The public lynching of George Floyd re-exposed the rotten underbelly of America and this, together with the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on Black and Brown communities, the global Black Lives Matter protests, and the racist, xenophobic demagoguery of Donald Trump, resurrected the old debates about medical racism, race relations, implicit bias, vaccine nationalism/vaccine imperialism, structural inequality, police brutality, vaccine hesitancy, unethical human experimentation, vaccine diplomacy, qualified immunity, conspiracy theories, and social justice. Then in 2020 the American Medical Association formally declared racism a public health crisis, defined racism as a social determinant of health, and embraced the idea of medical schools teaching medical students about racism. Alas, the nursing curriculum is somewhat silent on these questions. Decolonizing the nursing curriculum, long overdue, is therefore imperative. This book explores the question of decolonizing the nursing curriculum from the angles of postcolonial theory, critiquing the Western literary canon, American history, literary criticism, African literature, cultural criticism, Afrocentric theory, democracy, African-American literature, and critical race theory.

The following collection of Letters in this Book are from Cindy, who is/was from San Jose, California. I had met Cindy in San Jose, California in the mid-90's, when I was living there. After we had gone out for a while, a few months, I met Maria, and I did not have enough time to spend with Cindy, anymore. It was in about 1994 that Cindy started writing the love letters to me; and they continued into 1990's, even after I had moved from San Jose, back to the Philadelphia area. And so, the following paragraphs in this book, make up the summary of the collection of Cindy's love letters which cry out to me,'I just can't stop Thinking of you.' Now, it saddens me to think, and realize, that I could not return the feelings of ardor which Cindy had been expressing for and to me. And now, based on Cindy's letters, we have the title for the Book, --- --- 'I Just Can't Get Over You.'

Kingston Yacht Club (KYC) is located in the historic city of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, on Lake Ontario, where the first sailing vessels on the Great Lakes were built in the 1670s.

For some Americans, when they think of the Republic of Korea (popularly called South Korea), they think of the Korean War fought so long ago. Many younger Americans, when they think of South Korea, think of K-pop, the big corporations Samsung, Hyundai, LG and Kia, and the cars these corporations have produced over the decades. But this is only one small aspect of a country with a rich history and culture few Americans know. Many Americans have not heard of, for example, the ancient City of Gyeongju with its surviving relics and monuments that were part of a once great kingdom. Then there is the Korean alphabet known as hangul, which was an invention to help facilitate all Koreans to be able to read and write in their language. My book is an exploration of some of these palaces, temples, churches and famous places in South Korea. More than that, my photographic memoir also looks at the things that make Korea what it is, and the dynamism behind the Korean people who have in their own way greatly contributed to our world.

This is a story of a humble nine-year-old, girl who was born with a Congenital Bilateral Club Foot. Her place of birth is Bolivia, South America. She was not considered handicapped and was living a compatible normal life. Her symptoms became obvious and more of a problem as she grew. The doctors in her small town did not give her many options for a cure because her feet were left untreated. However, by her tenth birthday she met a lady who had compassion the way she looked, and thus saw the necessity to provide her with the assistance necessary to correct her deformity. She felt that it was her "e;mission,"e; to correct the neglected Congenital Talipes Equinovarus, and make a great difference in her life. -C. N. Howard

In early nineteenth century England, a woman's worth was rarely appreciated, and among the aristocracy (the ton) that especially applied to an intelligent woman. Lady Lily Maxwell, daughter to the earl and countess of Townsend, fit this category all too well. In the first ball of her first season, Lily sought refuge from the inane talk of her counterparts and the gentlemen around her by stepping outside. Unfortunately for her, this would lead to her ruin among the ton and even in the eyes of her parents, yet she had done nothing wrong. While most women would have borne their ruination in silence, Lily resolved otherwise.Angry at the ton's unfair treatment, she left London for the countryside where she could begin constructing her revenge. With a convenient death in the family, and a chance meeting with others equally furious with the ton, she had all the tools she needed.

This story was originally written after praying for a unique Easter Program for a small country church outreach. Jesus used parables a lot to explain things when He walked on the earth, and this parable explains what Easter is all about on a child's level. This story explains sin, separation from God, and why the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus are so important. It will explain why Jesus is the Key to Easter. The need for a book like this is so relevant in our world today with so many bunnies, eggs, and chicks being the only representation of Easter to our children. If statistics are correct, not a lot of children are attending church in our world right now, and it is hoped that this book will reach a generation of children that will fall in love with Jesus and receive Him into their heart.

There is no denying that madness and wickedness persist in bad leaders throughout the world, but the number of measures to show resistance by the masses steadily grows and exposes their weaknesses. Sometimes our concern for our leaders appears reliant on the idea of whether they are even fit to lead. The severe and devasting nature of their bad behavior ran strongly throughout societies and explained how they prevail but weaning them off the addiction celebrate the masses' power and usefulness. There is hope in the abilities of the masses to stand up to bad leaders, which steer us in the right direction, understanding the difficulties of human experience.

Is it possible that humans can actually know God's intimacy or Essence to the point that they can affirm that such knowledge is correct, authentic and authoritative?No. For the simple reason that man is a created being, and thus he is simply incapable of knowing his Creator in such a way and depth that he can affirm that he knows Who God is. In fact, the contrary is true. For any created being, the Innermost Essence of his creator is simply Unknowable. No human being can fully, entirely of sufficiently know its Creator. His condition of created being has inherently given each one of us a limited understanding of any reality. If this is the human condition in relation to our Creator, how can we then be assured that we have an authoritative source that can tell us something about God's Attributes in a way that we can be confident that it is the best and most accurate description?At this moment we humans have to rely on a Revelation given to us by a Messenger of God, who is so close to Him that he actually has an experience of God that no other human being has. This is the objective and intention of this book. It is an exploration into what the most recent Messenger of God, Bahu'llh, has given us as a description of God's Attributes, in terms that we can make sense and comprehend a glimpse of the depth and excellence of our Creator. You are invited to explore it.

I had not started this work as a book. My first guide had been created as a patient handout about thyroid disease. My need was practical and simple. I see the patients every day in a clinical setting, and every day, I must give an explanation about the same health problems. This experience helped me to identify the gaps in common knowledge typical for many people. It is not easy for a person without a medical background to grasp all information in a time-limiting and highly stressful environment of a doctor's visit. My goal was to create a simple but meaningful guide with essential information that the patient can take home, read without rush, and then plan the changes she or he needs to do to take control over the disease.

Inspired by actual events - These are memoirs of generations of my past loves - from teen puppy love, to forbidden love and exotic love. After walking through fire, and a lot of heartache, I finally found the rainbow shining through at the end with the most important love of allself love. Misty

"e;For his anger endureth but for a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning"e; (Ps. 30:5, KJV). So is Broken for a Blessing: It is from a weeping night to a joyful morning-from brokenness to restoration. At some point, one will face some kind of turmoil, storm, or darkness. However, each of these can also be seen as a developing process. Like bread when it is broken: whenever a bread is broken: it meant, someone is getting ready to eat. This is the same from hurting to healing. God breaks you to heal you or turn you into a better person. This is what Broken for a Blessing is about. In this book, the author wrote ten chapters as he considers the number 10 to be significant. He talks about events that were written about in the Bible and uses the number as a metaphor of one's destiny. He also uses the number 10 as a metaphor in his own life journey. When he was ten years old, he played a game called the ten steps to Zion. In the game, each of the competitors would hold a Bible. The judge would say "e;Sword in hand"e; and then give the competitors a Bible verse, and whoever found it first would take a step. The game would end when a player reached the tenth bench. The author would always be the one who would reach the tenth bench first. In addition, the author started his life in the United States with ten dollars; he actually started with a hundred dollars, but he used ninety dollars of that amount just to pay his rent. He was married for ten years before he suffered a broken marriage. It was during his time of brokenness and isolation when God revealed the book in his spirit, Broken for a Blessing. This book will inspire you and will let you know that there's hope and a purpose for you. You should not get bitter when you are broken; rather, you should understand that you are going through to make yourself better. Whatever comes to break you should be seen as something that is coming to make you. There's a process in the making and a process in becoming. This is not the time for you to break down; it's the time for you to break through.

"e;LONG LONELY NIGHTS"e; is a collection of poetry about today's love. This is the journey of surviving love, through poetry. We all have long lonely nights, when we feel empty inside. Maybe we feel empty, because we left pieces of ourselves, in everyone who used to say, they loved us. We yearn so badly to be healed, we seem to let anyone new into our lives, way too soon. We give them everything we have left, hoping they have good intentions. And sometimes, they do not. And sometimes, the person we wanted to hold on to, was never the person we thought we knew, or needed. So no matter what the reason is, we must heal. Learn from our experience, and move on. We must try to find that love, which is coming our way. If we are patient and willing to wait.

Abdul Shokoor Khusrawy developed a passion for art at age seven while recovering from a broken femur bone in his right leg, which was in a cast for more than two years in Kabul, Afghanistan. He discovered that he was not going to fully recover and walk normally, and he was diagnosed and declared as a disabled person for the rest of his life. Shokoor at the age of seven was supposed to enroll in first grade, but instead he was in and out of the hospitals for two years. He eventually got a little better and entered school at the age of nine, but not without first going through repeated rejections because of his age. Shokoor was about to graduate from high school when Afghanistan was invaded by the USSR. The atrocities of the brutal invasion of the USSR led to a massive refugee influx and mass murder of Afghan civilians. Soon, Afghanistan turned into a battle zone, marked as the darkest chapter of the Afghan recent history. The United Nations and the NATO got involved in bringing peace to Afghanistan; but after decades of trying they eventually realized that the Afghans oppose any sort of foreign interference, fighting the puppet government of Afghanistan and the NATO forces simultaneously. Millions have lost their lives; cities and villages are in ruins. Fear, anxiety, financial hardships, health crises, and chaos continue to threaten the lives of Afghans. Shokoor, as a young yet vulnerable young man, has developed a passion for painting while witnessing these horrors, and he started to draw and paint these events, many images of which are very disturbing. While the war was going on, most schools around the capital city of Kabul were open on and off and were sometimes hit by bullets and rockets. Yet students continued to go to school, risking their lives by being only a bullet away from being killed. Shokoor was among them. He eventually graduated and was enrolled to Kabul University, where every student was living their lives day by day, not knowing whether or not they would make it to school the next day. Shokoor was interested in marrying someone whom he loved, but he was going through financial hardship and had to finish school. He found a job working after school at a construction site to cover his expenses, buy art supplies, and bring food to the table for his new bride who was a housemaker without any educational background. Once, while Shokoor was digging at the base of a building, one of his coworkers accidentally hit Shokoor in the side with a pick mattock, which punctured his kidney. He was taken to a hospital while he was unconscious. He had to stay home for a while to recover while going through financial hardship. However, the newlywed was happy to be alive. War was intensifying around Kabul, and Shokoor as a new graduate had just gotten a new job at the National Gallery and later on at Kabul Museum, not knowing that he was going to be stuck for a week inside the museum while the militants were fighting each other right outside the museum at Darul-Aman, Kabul. A week later Shokoor managed to get home, and he was happy to see his wife. Soon they packed and left their beloved home and sought refuge in the neighboring country of Pakistan, only to find out that they were going to be further devastated. They later return to Kabul hoping to rebuild their shattered lives, not knowing that they were returning to the ruined city where his wife would die during childbirth. Shokoor saw no other choice but to endure, persevere, and stay alive. He left Afghanistan and came to America for safety and a better life, away from fear and wars. Shokoor is one of the luckiest people to get out of a war zone and come to America, where he had hopes and dreams of establishing a new life and make a difference in people's lives through his art and story. His art exhibition in the US had received great awards and recognitions. Some of his paintings were displayed at the Museum of the Sun City in Arizona. Next, Shokoor wanted to open an art gallery and an art class; he wanted to teach others about art in order to build bridges and bring people together. After a long journey, Shokoor and his five children finally settled in America. They hope to become productive contributors to their community.
