Affirmations For WOMEN To Live Boldly


Book Description

- Are you tired of living a life that feels restricted by the expectations of others? - Do you constantly put yourself last, feeling like your needs don’t matter? Many women struggle with prioritizing their own well-being, often sacrificing their happiness, peace, and confidence to meet societal standards, family demands, or workplace pressures. The pain of losing yourself in the process of caring for everyone else is real. You’ve been conditioned to think that loving yourself is selfish, that drawing boundaries is rude, and that your worth is tied to how much you can give. But the truth is, "self-love isn’t selfish—it's essential". "You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously." – Sophia Bush This quote beautifully encapsulates the essence of your journey. No matter where you are in life, you deserve to love yourself fiercely, unapologetically, and wholly. And that starts by affirming your worth and reclaiming your power. In this empowering guide, you’ll learn how to harness the power of affirmations to live boldly, confidently, and with a sense of inner peace. Affirmations are more than just positive words—they are transformative declarations that can reshape your mind, reframe your beliefs, and help you embrace your highest potential. The Problem Women Face Women today are often pulled in a million different directions—careers, family, relationships, and personal growth. We’ve been conditioned to think that taking care of ourselves comes last. We’re praised for being selfless but are judged harshly when we ask for time or space to focus on our own needs. It’s easy to feel lost, exhausted, and depleted when you’re constantly pouring from an empty cup. Many of us face the crippling effects of self-doubt, low self-esteem, and a deep-seated fear of disappointing others. Drawing boundaries feels impossible when you’ve been taught to say “yes” to everyone except yourself. This book will empower you to: - Embrace Self-Love: You will learn to see yourself as worthy of love, care, and attention. Self-love isn’t about perfection; it’s about accepting yourself as you are, flaws and all, and recognizing that you are enough. - Build Unshakable Confidence: Using affirmations, you’ll reprogram your mind to believe in your abilities, strengths, and unique talents. Confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you cultivate, and this book will guide you in doing just that. - Draw Strong Boundaries: No more feeling guilty for saying “no.” This book will help you assert yourself with clarity and conviction. Boundaries are not walls—they’re essential lines that protect your peace, time, and energy. You’ll learn how to set them with kindness but firmness. What You'll Gain: - Daily Affirmations: Practical affirmations designed to boost your confidence, encourage self-love, and help you build stronger boundaries in every area of your life. - Peace of Mind: The realization that you don’t have to do it all or be everything to everyone. You can love yourself fully, take time for yourself, and still be there for others without losing who you are. - A Life of Empowerment: By practicing these affirmations consistently, you’ll be equipped to live a life that honors your true self. You’ll feel more grounded, at peace, and in control of your destiny. It’s time to stop settling for less. "This is your moment to rise, reclaim your power, and love yourself enough to draw the boundaries that will protect your peace". Affirmations are your gateway to living boldly, and this book will guide you every step of the way. Are you ready to start your journey toward self-love, confidence, and inner peace?

Fascination of Science


Book Description

An intimate collection of portraits of internationally renowned scientists and Nobel Prize winners, paired with interviews and personal stories. What makes a brilliant scientist? Who are the people behind the greatest discoveries of our time? Connecting art and science, photographer Herlinde Koelbl seeks the answers in this English translation of the German book Fascination of Science, an indelible collection of portraits of and interviews with sixty pioneering scientists of the twenty-first century. Koelbl’s approach is intimate and accessible, and her highly personal interviews with her subjects reveal the forces (as well as the personal quirks) that motivate the scientists’ work; for example, one wakes up at 3 am because her mind is calm then, another says his best ideas come to him in the shower. These glimpses into the scientists’ lives and thinking add untold texture in this up-to-the-minute survey of the activities and progress that are currently taking place in the broad field of the natural sciences. Koelbl’s interview subjects include Nobel Prize winners Dan Shechtman, Frances Arnold, Carolyn Bertozzi, and cover scientific fields from astronomy, biochemistry, and quantum physics to stem-cell research and AI. Beautifully bringing together art, science, and the written word, Fascination of Science is an inspiring read that shows how creativity, obsession, persistence, and passion drive the pioneering researchers of our time.




I Was a Virgin When I Married Him but He Caused Me to Be Treated like a Prostitute


Book Description

My name is Vicksay Baby Moten-Richardson; I am the last of fourteen children. I realize now why I am so different in so many ways, not in a bragging way but in a way that God has laid it on my heart to share my life in this book. Not too many people are named Baby. It was not until I was eighteen and graduating from high school when I revealed that my middle name was Baby. When the principal of the school called my name and I walked up to get my diploma, it took over ten minutes to stop the class of 1974 from laughing. What a wonderful memory that was. For many years, I felt like I was a nobody, even though forty-two years ago I bought a new home when I was twenty-two years old with my sister, and she still lives there to this day. I was voted most likely to succeed. I completed high school in three years instead of four. I was number fifty-six in a class of 560, grade-wise. I would have ranked higher, but because I was graduating a year earlier, it caused my ranking to be calculated differently from the students who had attended high school for four years. I received three four-year scholarships to the University of Arizona. I completed a twenty-four-month computerized accounting program in eighteen months while raising four extremely sickly and one very difficult foster child and while running a full-time day care from my home. I took twenty-four classes in those eighteen months and received twenty-three As and one B. Of course, I give God the glory because He is the only one who gives us strength. I was a straight-A student. Since I was in first grade, I have always assisted children with learning disabilities. However, the one thing that I am proudest of was that I married a virgin. Inside I was this sad and disappointed little girl that I thought no one would love or care for. And one more thing that I am proud of is that with the only two men I have been intimate with in my whole sixty-four years of life, I took my wedding vows first. But that same person whom I just told about filed bankruptcy several times, moved over fifty times, and lost over fifteen cars and over forty jobs, all because of pride, disobedience to God, and letting people speak negativity into my life. It is very difficult to share your weakness with the world and those whom you love and know. But it is more liberating to know that my story is going to help many people, especially women, not to make the mistakes I have made.

Managing Cultural Change


Book Description

Despite decades of policy interventions and awareness raising programmes, migration and mobility continue to give rise to tensions and questions of how to live together in a culturally diverse world. Managing Cultural Change takes a new approach to these challenges, re-examining responses to migration and mobility as part of a process of managing wider cultural change. Presenting research from a range of settings, from liberalising India, global workplaces in Asia, and migrant youth culture in Sydney, this book explores the manner in which cultural change disturbs established frames of reference. In considering affective responses to these liminal moments of disruption, it argues that adaptive strategies such as 'demarcating difference' and 're-placing home', that is, reasserting belonging, are deployed in order to reclaim a sense of synchronicity within the self and with a transforming external environment. With attention to the prevalence and durability of the processes and tensions inherent in cultural change, the author also examines the intercultural, or cosmopolitan, competencies developed in interaction with difference, and whether it is possible to 'teach' people these skills in order to re-find 'cultural fit' and manage change in a constantly shifting world. Contributing to research on transnational migration and mobility studies, while developing the use of conceptual tools such as 'cultural fit' and 'liminality', Managing Cultural Change will be of interest to sociologists, geographers and anthropologists working in the fields of globalisation, migration and transnational communities, ethnicity and identity, belonging and cosmopolitanism.




WheatShaft


Book Description

For almost a decade, Matt Kozar had been coasting as a general reporter with the New York Tribune ... longing but never managing to break the big story ... until now. While on a routine assignment in Central Park, the launch of Feed the Starving – a glitzy, high-powered campaign to raise awareness of a devastating famine plaguing the Horn of Africa, Kozar soon becomes entangled in a web of incredible greed and corruption, and a devious plot to defraud the U.S. government of hundreds of millions of dollars in food aid destined for millions of starving children, women and men. In this fast-paced, hard-hitting political thriller, Kozar flies to Eritrea where he witnesses blatant corruption in the distribution of international food aid. But there is something far more sinister going on, and as he continues to dig, he quickly finds himself pitted against a rogue’s gallery of extremely dangerous characters: a powerful evangelical minister, a repugnant US Republican senator, the unscrupulous head of the UN International Food Fund and a pair of ruthless Russian oligarchs – who will stop at nothing, including murder, to keep their illegal enterprise from being exposed.

The Israeli Druze Community in Transition


Book Description

While there are books that describe the history and traditions of the Druze as an ethnic and religious group, this is the first and only academic book of its kind. It gives voice to the Israeli Druze, through in-depth interviews with 120 people, 60 young adults and 60 of their parents’ generation. How is this traditional group, bound together through the centuries by their secret religion and strong value system, dealing with modernization? What contradictions and continuity come to light in the stories of this people during a time of transition? Can their religion, and their very identity, survive the meeting with the modern, technological world? What resources do the young and the not-so-young bring to the task of preserving their community and helping it to flourish as the world changes around them? The people in this text answer these questions through the telling of their stories, in which they express their values, opinions, beliefs and aspirations. The book draws out theoretical, practical, religious and sociological implications from this analysis, in order to shed light on the challenges faced by other traditional societies meeting modernity.
