  Ode to the front end - The Home...

  This book is somewhat unique. I am not the author although it was written through me . He is the author not me. Why I ended up being the one to be used by Him remains a complete baffling mystery. I am simply His humble steward in this process. 
  Everyone living in America recognizes Home Depot. They are a staple. It is a poem containing 2,500 quatrains that contain life as a part time cashier in a small Home Depot store. It is not always easy reading but it has appeal and value for anyone willing to read it. 
  What are the takeaways? For me the greatest takeaway is humility. The people portrayed in thsi writing are far superior to me. I am not worthy to be the proverbial gum on their shoe. Their trust and friendship provided me is more valuable than gold from Ophir. They live very difficult lives in an extraordinary manner. They never had a level playing filed. they must climb Mt Everest each day. 
  There is humor, pathos and at times Upton Sinclair type muckraking all mixed into the writing. The work shows the good and the bad of life, work and in some ways America today.

  Past Imperfect - French...

  Tony Judt

  A “marvelously readable” critique of Sartre, Camus, de Beauvoir, and other French postwar intellectuals that “consistently entertains and provokes” (The Washington Post).   The uniquely prominent role of French intellectuals in European cultural and political life following World War II is the focus of this book by the acclaimed author of Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945. Tony Judt analyzes this intellectual community’s most divisive conflicts: how to respond to the promise and the betrayal of Communism and how to sustain a commitment to radical ideals when confronting the hypocrisy in Stalin’s Soviet Union, in the new Eastern European Communist states, and in France itself. Judt shows why this was an all-consuming moral dilemma to a generation of French men and women, how their responses were conditioned by war and occupation, and how postwar political choices have come to sit uneasily on the conscience of later generations of French intellectuals. Judt’s analysis extends beyond the writings of fashionable “existentialist” personalities such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, and Simone de Beauvoir to include a wide intellectual community of Catholic philosophers, non-aligned journalists, literary critics and poets, Communist and non-Communist alike—and asserts that what he calls the “moral irresponsibility” of those years damaged France’s cultural standing, and reflected the nation’s larger difficulty in confronting its own ambivalent past.   “A forthright and uncommonly damning study of those intellectually volatile years . . . indicts these intellectuals for their inhumanity in failing to test their political thought against political reality.” —The New York Times Book Review   “Brilliant . . . splendidly written.” —Foreign Affairs

  "Apology" is a philosophical dialogue written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. The dialogue is a dramatization of the trial of Socrates, in which he is accused of corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety. The dialogue is set in 399 BC and recounts Socrates' defense before the Athenian court. 
  The dialogue is divided into three parts: Socrates' defense, the verdict, and the sentencing. In his defense, Socrates argues that he has been falsely accused and that he has only sought to bring greater wisdom and understanding to his fellow Athenians. He also reflects on his own mortality and the nature of the human soul. 
  Throughout the dialogue, Plato uses Socrates as a mouthpiece for his own philosophical ideas, particularly his belief in the importance of reason and the pursuit of truth. Socrates is portrayed as a wise and virtuous figure who is committed to living a life of integrity and to teaching others to do the same. 
  The dialogue has been widely studied and debated over the centuries and is regarded as a foundational text of Western philosophy. It offers a powerful reflection on the nature of truth, justice, and virtue, as well as on the role of the individual in society. It remains a valuable and thought-provoking work of philosophy that continues to be read and studied today. 
  Overall, "Apology" is a timeless and influential work of philosophy that offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of history's greatest thinkers. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, the nature of truth and justice, or the legacy of ancient Greece.

  For fans of The Artist’s Way and The Creative Act, comes an alternative perspective on creativity, introducing “play” as a key tool to building trust and confidence in ourselves and a path to creative expression.    You are creative! Yes you! Despite what society, friends, family, or social media might tell you, you don’t need to practice the “classic creative outlets” like art, music, or writing to find creative expression. And if you are interested in those outlets, you don’t need to pursue them as a career to live a more fulfilling life.   The key to cultivating the kind of big, juicy life that sparks joy, connection, and fulfillment isn’t chasing the title of “creative”, it’s prioritizing your play. In Prioritize Play, host of the Chaotic Creatives podcast and play enthusiast, Rachael Renae, reveals that play is more important to our wellbeing than productivity or career titles and should be prioritized as readily as getting groceries, paying your rent, or getting your work done. When we connect to ourselves through play, we become more curious and intentional in how we express ourselves and connect with other people. Within these pages are:  Mindset shifts to start seeing play in the everyday  Guidance to help you find your version of play  Strategies to turn play into a regular practice  Exercises to release expectations on your creativity, and  Lessons in becoming your own hype pal.   Through introspection and fun challenges, you’ll see that play is the solution toward overcoming our creative blocks, caring less about what people think of us, and showing ourselves that we do deserve to prioritize our creative ideas. Even when they don’t make money. Even if we’re not “good” at them. Even if they’re not a “traditional” creative outlet. Because we all deserve our version of our Big, Juicy Life!
