Sinopse

Being a girl is awesome! As women, we’re allowed to display our emotions. We can express our feelings by joyously hugging our girlfriends. Spontaneously, we can kiss our best friend to show our happiness of being with them. When a daughter loves her mother completely, she can hug, kiss, and physically bond with her. Mother and daughter can display their love many ways. Yes, being a girl is awesome!
 
~~~~~  Excerpt  ~~~~~
 
“What’s up, Mom?” She turned toward me and smiled, showing her small white teeth.
 
It was another beautiful warm day. Being Wednesday, she had no classes today and I was off from work. A few months ago, I began to work a ‘flex-shift.’ Rather than five 8-hour days, I worked four 10-hour days, which allowed me to enjoy a midweek break. It was especially nice since this school semester Maria only had class on Tuesday and Thursday, allowing us to be together and alone.
 
“Are you fully comfortable with your body?” I asked my younger, better me.
 
Quizzened, she looked at me. She wondered, “Why do you ask?”
 
“I just want to make sure everything is alright with my Baby Girl,” I comforted. Baby Girl was a nickname I gave her when she was a little girl; and Maria refused to let me give up. Whereas other children outgrow their baby-name, Maria embraced hers and grew into becoming my Baby Girl. She got up from her deckchair. Taking the couple of steps needed, she came over me and sat on my lap. She wrapped an arm behind my neck and leaned her head against mine. With her cheek against mine, I couldn’t help but notice the sweet smell of her perspiration.
 
“What’s up Mom? What are you really thinking?” she sagely wondered.
 
I wrapped an arm around her petite hips and shifted her little butt so she sat on my thighs more comfortably. Merrily perched on her mom’s lap like a contented kitten, my Baby Girl snuggled up closer to me. I loved the fact Maria never outgrew being physically affectionate with her mom. As kids, her sister and brother learned to resent their mother giving them hugs and kisses. After a while, they began to fuss if I even reached over to adjust their clothes or fix their hair. Yet Maria continued to enjoy getting a hug or kiss from her mom, even in front of her friends! She would even sometimes lovingly demand, “Where’s my hug and kiss?”
 
Girlfriends, we loved doing all the girlie stuff together. We often did each other’s hair and nails. I knew she enjoyed “putting on her mom’s face,” and since she did a better job than I could, I always appreciated when she did my makeup. When she did her mom’s hair, I sat there and indulged enjoying her attentions. Her hair was so similar to my own that when I brushed out her long, soft mane I found it as soothing as if brushing my own.
 
“I was just thinking about when I was young and when I… umm… umm, when I developed. I know it’s hard to believe I was once your age…” I joked.
 
“Oh, give me a break,” Maria interrupted and rolled her eyes. “If people didn’t know, they’d think you were my sister before Mercy. Are you fishing for a compliment? You know you’re too young to be a cougar and too hot to be a MILF. So, there,” and the impetuous brat blew me a raspberry. I laughed at Baby Girl sticking her tongue out at her mom; and tried to refocus my thoughts away from it.

    The Teaching of the Heart has been given to Mankind as a Great Revelation of the Cosmic Light Forces standing guard over not only the planet Earth, but the entire Solar System too. The Messengers of Distant Worlds and unknown star systems, the Masers of Wisdom have Revealed the secret Treasures of Shambhala to you that store secret scrolls since time immemorial. And when the Dates are imminent, Mankind is endowed with the wise knowledge that Their chosen Messenger begins to spread around the world, putting them into the form of the Teachings of Light. Previous Doctrines focused mostly on the mental body — the human mind. But at the junction of two epochs, a Terrible Hour came for the Earth, the position of the heavenly bodies changed, energies of unprecedented Strength are directed towards our planet. The most powerful streams of Fire are pouring out of the unknown depths of the Universe, threatening to incinerate all life on our long–suffering earth. And only a loving human Heart, which keeps a spark of Divine Light and performs Service of the Forces of Good, can accept and assimilate those healing currents. 
    	The Call of the Heart is a book that opens like a Royal Gateway, inviting you to step into other spheres where Just Cosmic Laws rule. Those who have managed to ascend the steps of Transfiguration and become truly Godlike already live in this world! The currents of Immortality are embedded in each line of the Teaching of the Heart, in every book, all of which are united by an invisible Fiery thread. Nevertheless, your kind hearts, like priceless diamonds, will begin to acquire new Luminous facets after reading and listening to these books, and — what is the most important — after applying the Advices given by the Greatest Masters of Mankind. 
    	Good luck on the Way of the Heart! And blessed be those who hear the Call of the Heart of the Creator!

    Read by the author. 
    Many of us feel like we don't belong or are out of touch with our true identity. Discover how you can gain a stronger sense of who God made you to be and step confidently into every relationship, fully owning your unique distinctions and celebrating the differences of others. 
    Group dynamics can be based on the simplest forms of physical and cultural distinctions, and those who don't quite fit the mold of a group can feel like outsiders. The reality is none of us fit into a box. We're all unique with a mixed background—socially, culturally, experientially. For some of us, like Eli Bonilla Jr., we are also mixed ethnically. No one person is an identical copy of anyone else. 
    In Mixed, Eli questions the basis of unity and inclusion and explores the multiple components of our identity, discovering how they can all be reconciled for God's purpose as we reflect His image. Mixed will lead you to:find peace with the complexity within yourself,understand yourself more deeply so you can relate to others,experience more human connection through a God-led identity, anddevelop greater empathy, celebrate cultures without creating division, and fight for people in the margins. 
      
    Eli will remind you that God made you the way you are for good reason, and you belong wherever He says you belong. Pairing personal stories with biblical teaching, Eli will inspire you not to hold back from others but to confidently share the fullness of who you are, and to love, celebrate, and unite with people who are not just different, but beautifully complex.

    From a National Book Award finalist, an “entertaining and inspiring” biography of the heroic Gettysburg commander, college president, and governor of Maine (Senator George J. Mitchell).   This is a vivid account of the life of Joshua Chamberlain, whose is best known for leading a successful bayonet charge against a Confederate assault that was memorialized in the film Gettysburg—and earned Chamberlain the Medal of Honor. But his life was long and his military, political, and academic careers were filled with numerous notable accomplishments as well, among them the governorship of Maine and presidency of Bowdoin College, before his Civil War wounds finally caught up with him in 1914. This account, with illustrations included, tells his absorbing, wide-ranging story, explores his continuing mystique, and paints a vivid picture of late nineteenth-century New England.   “A worthy tribute to Chamberlain’s lasting legacy.” —Civil War Book Review “Joshua Chamberlain was much more than a war hero, and Pullen’s thoughtful book fills out the picture of his remarkable life.” —Senator George J. Mitchell   “Reveal[s] a complicated character, without diminishing the almost mythic status he has assumed.” —The Washington Times
