DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Groovy Peek into "Confessions of a Middle-Aged Hippie" Should the wild escapades of your twenties and beyond silently recede into decades past? Or would you have the guts to bare it all, with the enthusiasm of a peace-loving, truth-seeking middle-aged hippie? Beverley Golden presents a love-offering of profound lessons from heart-wrenching, humorous encounters in standing up to Gods of conventional medicine while staring death in the eye, raising a child TV star, and pursuing a career in the entertainment industry at all costs always choosing a life colored by love, laughter and hope as the only possible outcome. Blazing trails though the 60s and 70s, right up to today, this candid, conversational memoir affirms the power of intuition and teaches us to never underestimate the role of questioning everything on the path of a true hippie seeker. Be forewarned this book may not be for you: If you ve never faced insurmountable health challenges determined to find another way If you never dated (or married) someone despite obvious omens courtesy of your family, God and/or Mother Nature If you ve never wanted to be on Oprah or dreamed of writing a book in eight days If you once had the chance to divulge your dreams to a rock star about your past-life connection, but failed to take it If you aren t intrigued by horoscopes, Hair or Daryl Hall and John Oates If you think everything you did in Vegas should definitely stay in Vegas Beverley s unconventional memoir will inspire you to live life on your own terms. This book proves it: you are not alone in the universe and we re all hippies at heart.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there's purpose and worth to each and every life." —Ronald Reagan Noted political commentator Michael Reagan, the son of Ronald Reagan and first wife Jane Wyman, has traveled across America, giving speeches and meeting the public. Time and time again, people tell him how much they love and miss his father, and what his presidency meant to them. In a world where role models are few and far between, Ronald Reagan’s legacy stands strong. In Lessons My Father Taught Me, Michael Reagan looks back over his years with his father and reflects on what he has learned from the greatest man he has ever known—and one of the greatest men the world has known. When Michael was growing up, his father would drive him out to his ranch. There Ronald Reagan taught Michael how to ride a horse, how to shoot a gun, and much more. As they drove together or did chores together, Michael’s father told him stories and taught him about life, love, family, faith, success, and leadership. Michael didn’t fully appreciate those lessons at the time, but years later he remembered—and he understood. Now, Michael Reagan shares his father’s wisdom and experience in this inspiring book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA GLOBE AND MAIL BESTSELLER As a child, Murray Howe wanted to be like his father. He was an adult before he realized that didn't necessarily mean playing hockey. Gordie Howe may have been the greatest player in the history of hockey, but greatness was never defined by goals or assists in the Howe household. Greatness meant being the best person you could be, not the best player on the ice. Unlike his two brother, Murray Howe failed in his attempt to follow in his father's footsteps to become a professional athlete. Yet his failure brought him to the realization that his dream wasn't really to be a pro hockey player. His dream was to be his father. To be amazing at something, but humble and gracious. To be courageous, and stand up for the little guy. To be a hero. You don't need to be a hockey player to do that. What he learned was that it was a waste of time wishing you were like someone else. When Gordie Howe passed away in 2016, it was Murray who was asked to deliver the eulogy. Nine Lessons I Learned from My Father takes the reader through the hours Murray spent writing the words that would give shape to his father's leagcy--the hours immediately after his hero's death, as he gathers his thoughts and memories, and makes sense of what his remarkable father meant to him. The result is nine pieces of wisdom, built out of hundreds of stories, that show us the man behind the legend and give us a glimpse of what we can learn from this incredible life.
