Mark led a remarkable life, before succumbing to dementia.He managed to survive intense abuse from his mother, through the teachings of his Druid grandparents on love without conditions and connecting with Nature. During the last seven years of our thirty year partnership I cared for him and chronicled his slow mental decline. Here is our journey through the unspeakable with varying degrees of acceptance and grace. This is my tribute to Mark, his life and his spirit: a love poem of memory, respect, pain and joy.Mark's upbringing by his Druid grandparents is illuminating. I was fortunate to transcribe his memories before he began to lose them. Here are teachings about communicating with spirits, plant lore, frequencies, restructuring one's brain, forgiveness and love without conditions. Dementia caregivers can relate to my experiences and perhaps feel less alone. I hope also my fellow caregivers can pick up ideas on how to better take care of themselves, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Others may learn compassion for those enmeshed in the bizarre world of dementia, and perhaps reach out in friendship.

"It can be an ambiguous title, right?" - Josh WalshNo truer words have ever been said about the role of a producer. In fact, I've heard from many producers that their families will still ask them what they do for work ten or fifteen years into their career.But being a producer isn't as much a career as it is a lifestyle. Everything you do throughout the production process bleeds into your personal life, from budgeting and building relationships to making family decisions. So if you're looking for a book that's more than just a step-by-step process to producing a film or a book that won't become outdated in the next year as the industry changes, then this is the book for you. We're diving into the principles and lifestyle of a producer that have been around for years and will continue to be around even after the next form of distribution arrives or the newest camera has become obsolete. Because whether you produce documentaries, features, or commercials, we all live The Producer's Life.

A Seat at My SoulLife is a tapestry woven with moments, both beautiful and painful. This anthology is a therapeutic collection of creative pieces and essays that aims to be a reflective mirror for the readers. Through sharing, I hope to inspire readers to sit with their emotions, even the painful ones, and discover the healing power hidden within them.It can be difficult to face our true feelings in a world that often encourages us to put on a facade of strength and happiness. The act of writing this anthology forced me to confront my own emotions and delve deeper into the root causes of my pain. By doing so, I was able to find clarity and understand that acknowledging and embracing our emotions is the first step towards healing.Every experience we go through in life has the potential to teach us valuable lessons. However, without taking the time to reflect on these experiences, we may miss out on the growth that comes from understanding ourselves better.Pain is an inevitable part of the human experience. It manifests itself in various forms - heartbreak, loss, disappointment - and can be overwhelming at times. It is essential to sit with this pain, to allow ourselves to fully experience it, rather than running away from it. Contrary to popular belief, pain is not our enemy but a messenger, whispering to us that something needs to change. By embracing the pain, we open ourselves up to growth and transformation and becoming pure Light.Within every painful experience lies a hidden medicine waiting to be discovered. By sharing, I hope to inspire readers to find the healing power within their own struggles.Life is a beautiful yet challenging journey, filled with highs and lows. This therapeutic anthology is a mirror that reflects the emotions and experiences that make us who we are. Remember, the medicine is within the pain; we just need to open ourselves up to the transformative power that lies within. May you find your Godly existence in between your healing.

If you know you are of royalty and a rightful heir to the throne, you expect the best of the best, even if it is just cheese. Walk through a journey with Tina as the Lord confirmed through scripture He is okay with his children living and feasting on the good things. To the Lord, it is all about the relationship between Him and you.But the question arises: Are you all in?In today's society, there are many church doctrines, rules, and laws that put the children of God in bondage and lack. The traditions of men can make the word of God of no effect, therefore turning one away from God because 'the word didn't work'. Trials and tribulations will always be at hand, but there is a way to overcome and learn to walk in freedom. One area many people struggle with is the tithe (giving 10% of your income). Are you cursed if you don't give 10%? Is the tithe before or after income? Or are we free from the tithe?In this book, you will take a walk into a deeper relationship with God one on one. When you become royalty, the questions of giving are no longer an issue.

Crossing Bridges: What Biking Up the East Coast Taught Me About Life After 60"One day you will wake up and there won't be any more time to do the things you've always wanted. Do it now."-Paulo CoelhoAt fifty-eight, Lisa Watts felt restless. She had built a carefully balanced life of work and play, but it all seemed to add up to a life of mediocrity. She and a dear friend headed out to bike from Key West to Canada, a trip she'd dreamed of taking for decades. Those two months on the road offered a time of transition, teaching her mostly that she doesn't have to live as an armchair traveler through life's third act.In this engaging travel memoir, Watts shares essays about friendship, marriage, self-doubt, and more. Her aim: to nudge others out the door to go do that thing they've always wanted to do.

Urban flooding is an increasingly pressing challenge confronting cities worldwide. As urbanization accelerates and climate change intensifies, the frequency and severity of flooding events are on the rise, posing significant threats to lives, livelihoods, and infrastructure. In the face of this growing crisis, the imperative for effective and sustainable solutions has never been more urgent.This book, "Nature Based Solutions to Prevent Urban Flooding," authored by Shashikant Nishant Sharma and Dauda Ayuba, emerges as a timely and comprehensive resource offering insights, strategies, and practical approaches to mitigate urban flooding through nature-based interventions.The concept of nature-based solutions (NBS) harnesses the inherent resilience and adaptability of natural systems to address complex urban challenges. By integrating green infrastructure, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable land management practices, NBS offer a multifaceted approach to urban flood management that not only reduces flood risk but also enhances ecosystem services, improves urban livability, and fosters climate resilience.Drawing upon a wealth of interdisciplinary knowledge and practical experience, Sharma and Ayuba delve into the theoretical foundations, case studies, and best practices surrounding NBS implementation in urban environments. From the revitalization of urban wetlands and creation of green corridors to the promotion of permeable pavements and rainwater harvesting systems, this book explores a diverse array of NBS approaches tailored to specific urban contexts.Moreover, the authors highlight the economic, social, and environmental co-benefits associated with NBS adoption, underscoring the value proposition for policymakers, urban planners, engineers, and community stakeholders alike. Through a nuanced analysis of policy frameworks, governance mechanisms, and stakeholder engagement strategies, they elucidate the pathways toward mainstreaming NBS into urban planning and decision-making processes.As we stand at a critical juncture in our collective response to urban flooding, this book serves as a beacon of hope and guidance, illuminating pathways toward a more resilient and sustainable urban future. It is our fervent hope that the insights presented herein will inspire action, catalyze innovation, and empower communities to embrace nature-based solutions as integral components of their urban resilience strategies.Book Title: Nature Based Solutions to Prevent Urban FloodingAuthors Name: Shashikant Nishant Sharma & Dauda AyubaISBN: 978-93-92585-34-0Imprint: EduPubPublication Year: 2024

Thirteen Plus-1 Lovecraftian Narratives Stories honoring the intriguingly dark and imaginative world of H.P. Lovecraft. Elder Gods and hideous creatures change the lives of human beings forever. These cautionary tales remind us to: Be careful! Pay attention! Remember: you never know what lurks just beneath the surface. Forward by S.T. Joshi Phantasmagoria Magazine #23 by reviewer Tori Born:"I found this collection incredibly engaging and had to take breaks between stories to fully digest each one. I enjoyed 'Flesh and Bones', and genuinely feel that this is a stand-out story. Perhaps less terrifying than the other tales, this one is disturbingly romantic in its own, macabre way. Kilpatrick is a master at creating atmosphere and setting a scene that you can't just see but can smell, and can feel, and this story is the perfect example of how she best employs these skills." Lovecraftiana Magazine review:"The anthology as a whole is well textured, with running themes at some points, while at others introducing stories that come as a complete surprise." Hellnotes by reviewer Elaine Pascale:"Thirteen Plus-1 contains clever stories with recurring themes...which delve into the origins of the human species. ...gothic horror, body horror, bizarro horror, feminist horror-enough of a buffet to delight any palate." The Horror Zine by reviewer John Cozzoli"Kilpatrick breathes Lovecraft's doom-soaked vapors into each of her people and the question each must answer is how they will survive." Nancy Kilpatrick is an award-winning author and editor. She has published 23 novels, 3 novellas, over 250 short stories, 7 collections, and has edited 15 anthologies. Much of her work has been translated into 9 languages. The 6th and final volume of her novel series Thrones of Blood will be out soon. The series has been optioned for film and TV.

"Mexican Bird sings from the heart. Its aches and love pangs punctuate the journey from Mexican life to queer desire, from quiet pain to vocal resistance, from the intimate world of the family nest to the unconstrained skies of freedom. A poet of deep reflection, Luis Lopez-Maldonado finds meaning in the most unexpected places, reminding us that each conflict-no matter how personal, no matter how public, no matter how distressing-has the potential for grace and insight, if we're brave enough to confront it." -Rigoberto González, author of To the Boy Who Was Night "Mexican Bird: Brown Wings Through White Clouds contextualizes the speaker's political identities in a country contaminated with violence. Its conversational tone invites you to understand, "The dead must wait to be judged / but here we do that for free to each other." But only if you can find them as they describe a land that disremembers and dismembers like vultures. Here, Luis takes from the collapsed home and rebuilds the puzzle to be heard because to not is a death. In each poem there is a longing desire for love, lust, and listening; these poems are lust rebellions amid griefs. They write "isn't it funny, / when you're gone / and dead, / I start listening?" Dear reader, listen to the wing flaps of these poems as they take flight." -David Campos, author of American Quasar
