DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt's been said that values are caught more than taught. When Polly Shivers was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, she quietly maintained, "Well, we're supposed to bloom where we are planted." Mama's words matched her actions. She knew that her six children would repeat what she did more than what she said. An orphan, adopted into her forever family as a toddler, Mama's life permeated gratefulness. Mama knew what loneliness felt like, and she invested in the lives of others, reaping great benefits. Snapshots of twelve of the many lessons learned from my Mama are encapsulated here, along with journal entries from both Mama and the author, Joan Walker Page, number five. Be inspired as you read the priceless pieces of this family's life, lovingly put together.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is Marlon Brando’s own story, and his reason for telling it is best revealed in his own words: “I have always considered my life a private affair and the business of no one beyond my family and those I love. Except for moral and political issues that aroused in me a desire to speak out, I have done my utmost throughout my life, for the sake of my children and myself, to remain silent. . . . But now, in my seventieth year, I have decided to tell the story of my life as best I can, so that my children can separate the truth from the myths that others have created about me, as myths are created about everyone swept up in the turbulent and distorting maelstrom of celebrity in our culture.” To date there have been over a dozen books written about Marlon Brando, and almost all of them have been inaccurate, based on hearsay, sensationalist or prurient in tone. Now, at last, fifty years after his first appearance onstage in New York City, the actor has told his life story, with the help of Robert Lindsey. The result is an extraordinary book, at once funny, moving, absorbing, ribald, angry, self-deprecating and completely frank account of the career, both on-screen and off, of the greatest actor of our time. Anyone who has ever enjoyed a Brando film will relish this book. Please note: this edition does not include photos.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat Mama Never Told Me about Men, Motherhood, and Marriage: Volume I – Men is an insightful book that will accompany women of all ages and all walks of life as they make their way through the tough realities of life. Not all parents and guardians are comfortable talking with their daughters about delicate topics such as boys and sex. Most women grow up wishing someone would have told them what they never knew to make quality decisions regarding men, motherhood, and marriage. It may be a case where the information was shared but was never really heard, understood, or implied. Each chapter in What Mama Never Told Me about Men, will highlight a signifi cant challenge when dealing with the male species, with the eye-opening story, “Leah’s Heartache,” interwoven in between. With chapters containing biblical scripture references to ponder on, it discusses the real reason why parents are scared to have their children engage in premarital sex, why “soul ties” are blissful if experienced at the right time but dangerous if done otherwise, and how men’s temperament and childhood traumas affect their relationships and ultimately marriages. Brace yourself and open your eyes to an edifying, thought-provoking account of how men, sex, and even religion should be well-comprehended by women before they make some of the most important decisions they will ever make in life. What Mama Never Told Me about “Men” is volume 1 of a 3 part series.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“A wonderful gift to Black women. . . . Richardson and Wade, with pens dipped in abundant love, gracefully advise us as to the lessons of the past we must embrace and those we must discard, if we are to achieve true self-empowerment and emotional liberation.” — Darlene Clark Hine, Ph.D., coauthor of A Shining Thread of Hope: The History of Black Women in America In this provocative rethinking of the African American woman's experience, Brenda Lane Richardson and Dr. Brenda Wade ask their Black American sisters to consider this question: "What lessons about love and intimacy were passed down from your foremothers to you?" By exploring the emotional legacy shared by all African American women whose ancestors were enslaved, the authors examine the impact of this history on romantic relationships between today's Black women and men—and reveal how the power of inherited beliefs can both heal and strengthen these bonds. This remarkably uplifting book will show you how to move toward the emotional freedom you seek. It offers spiritual wisdom from well-known African Americans, ways of enhancing the coping skills and strengths your forebears harnessed to help them survive, and the certainty that emotional emancipation is your birthright. Mama may not have told you all this in so many words—but there is no doubt that she would want you to use the positive messages inherent in the African American experience to create a better life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLessons Learned on My Way Home is the autobiography of Gloria Lewis Vaughn. Lessons allows the reader to visit some of the rooms of Gloria's life, to experience through her story the joys of childhood once again, to cheer as, like the Phoenix, she rises from the snare of addiction to the heights of redemption, while sharing universal lessons learned along the way. Lessons gives the glory to God, and to the reader valuable glimpses of practical application. From forgiveness, to deliverance, to gratitude and beyond, Lessons holds the mirror and gives not only a look at the author but a glimpse of oneself as well. "Gloria Lewis Vaughn reflects her rich experience growing up in a large family with strong parents. She captivates the reader with her passionate account of a wavering soul who initially resisted God's special calling. Her work is beautiful." -James Patterson Editorial Writer, Indianapolis Star "Vaughn's first work is a sparkling account of one woman's attempt to find her life in the modern urban wilderness. Her memory of family sustains her through great peril, and she engagingly recollects scenes of her home during childhood. With verve and whole-hearted enthusiasm she sets out on the ancient path taken by Augustine, Francis of Assissi, and St. John of the Cross. Vaughn's street-wise savvy gets tangled up with her burning quest for God in ways that are both hilarious and awe-inspiring." -Robert Coalson Editor, Broad Ripple Laser Type

DOWNLOAD EBOOKI have wanted to write for as long as I can remember. After I actually started writing in my mid-thirties, I wanted desperately to write a weekly column for a newspaper. That dream finally came true. Now, over 300,000 words later, my columns will not only be published in a newspaper but also be collected book form--four books to be exact. What are my columns about? Marriage, family, raising my children, reflections, attending college as an adult, humor, diet, exercise, food, recipes, inspiration, my experience with cancer—everything that was going on in my life during this time. My columns have been well received by local readers. I trust that my wider audience will enjoy them also.
