Don't let the word "Woman" in Experience fool ya! If anybody knows me, EVERYBODY will benefit from the hilarious, real, brash, inspiring, and empowering writing that can have you laughing and crying at the same time... realizing you're worth something pretty special!!! And if you don't know me yet, then this is a fabulous introduction! This book will show you that by switching the genders... the inspiration is no different!!! And although there are tons of experiences in our lives, these are just 50 of them. Maybe we didn't experience them in the same way... but we've experienced them in some way! And that's just it: WE. The Woman Experience!!! We're all in this together... no matter the age, race, size, shape, sexual preference, gender, or culture! One experience at a vibe! So don't judge a book by the number, size, or title of its chapters. You just might be surprised what you find inside!!! HERE'S A GLIMPSE ON OUR BACK BOOK COVER: Whether 25, 35, or 85... we've all done some sh*t in our lives. We've learned from it, moved on & revitalized our growth from it, or we've hibernated with it and allowed it to linger in our daily routine... giving it VIP access to move back in at its own convenience. Some of us have gotten to a point of adjustment awareness, and us others may have not been able to locate our frame of consciousness. It's okay. It's all a part of the Woman Experience. And to each our own. Because although we're interlinked to a species of feminine production, our experiments can entail quite a distinction of perception. And movement is progress no matter the speed or direction. We're either going to get better going forward, or going to get better at going backwards. "For better or for worse" in time: Our Reality! So why not expand our mind's navigation system with some hilarious, fun, loving, brash, real, extremely honest and self-empowering material that can get our mental stimulated? Tools to help awaken and enhance all of our magnificence! Because that is what this book is all about: For the fun, fab, fearless female in us who likes to dish it out with a little sass, class, and confidence! Yet, may need to take our own advice more than twice! A lighter side of spirituality, sexuality, & Womanology. No men bashing. Simply woman enhancing! Even if some of us haven't found our sassy sauce yet hidden deep within our tote bags, we can trust that something's going to come out... even if it's a realization about our true selves. Because past, present, or future... we are continuous. Doing what we do for the reasons we choose; enjoying the experience from our view. We are neither here nor there... WE ARE PERFECT! And today, we open up and welcome all others the opportunity to be in our presence. "We are all Supermodels! Super ROLE MODELS!" - from chapter 47 Love, light, awareness, and dareness, Mikki L. Padilla

A rollicking, myth-busting history of sex that sets the record straight on subjects ranging from contraception and STIs to courtship and reproduction, pushing back against plenty of present-day taboos and urban legends along the way. With curiosity and irreverent insight, science writer Rachel Feltman breaks down the long, weird, illustrious history of sex. She guides readers through the kaleidoscopic archives of centuries-old porn and erotica, as well as the bizarre history of treatments for erectile dysfunction, including radium suppositories and goat testicle transplants. Feltman provides the history of huge scientific questions--e.g., How are babies made?--and considers the ancient from a modern perspective: What was it like to have herpes several millennia ago? Even from unlikely sources like Hildegard von Bingen's treatise on the female orgasm, there's a lot we can learn about our modern-day sexual proclivities and practices from the historical record. And these figures from the past, from gay cowboys to polyamorous Vikings, prove that when it comes to how we have sex and who we do it with, there's no such thing as normal.

In this lifetime story titled Been There, Done That, Rachi Ngaine recounts and narrates personal experience of survival, coping with challenges of growing up in a traditional learning environment from early childhood in his native Kenyan village. It amplifies the appetite and personal struggles for education/knowledge through public schools, college/university, choosing a career path, and taking grueling handwritten academic/professional exams toward jobs that led to self-actualization/self-esteem and a formal retirement at age seventy-five. The book is an affirmation of a typical family's basic value system, endurance, and human dignity. The story impresses upon a family legacy, focus, and values that; the roots of a family tree go way deep, and its branches enlarge; the relationships must be infinite unless curtailed by natural causes; the physical or economic ranking of a family member must have no consequence upon the phenomenon of belonging, identity, originality, nationality, and material support, and a family resemble God's universal family whereby the brethren have equal rights of inheritance. Moreover, the book inspires the reader to be a character builder, compassionate, a goal setter, courageous, hopeful, innovative, a leader, a mentor/role model, responsible, sensitive, a servant, strong, and trustworthy; and have empathy, foresight, humor, and organizational skills. Also, Rachi's life-changing facts of life in the United States for almost fifty years are intriguing to aspiring future immigrants into the twenty-first-century "superpower" base. The book is engaging, arouses personal traits, self-determination, triggers motivation, and assures worthiness. The "Humorous Notes" in the last pages of the book are likely to crank up the readers and even wet their eyes. Finally, the readers would be exposed to the fact that whenever there is will, "there is a way." Ideally, God's grace has enabled the anointed the blessings of spiritual gifts of love, joy, peace, perseverance, and self-control. The elect are promised success in whatever they undertake-in the name of Jesus. Indeed, the faithful in Christ would be moved and enticed to keep on and finish the race and win the crown of salvation. Rachi is on it! Please join in.

Why do Americans feel so badly about themselves? One after another, today's social commentators tell us it's because contemporary America has lost its sense of values, absolutes, and meaning. The problem, maintains Ed Young, is not life, but perspective. Here he provides the only perspective that works--God-given meaning--and tells readers how to discover pleasant surprises about the meaning of life.
