  Surviving Life’s Most Brutal StormsAs a World Series-winning pitcher with the San Francisco Giants, Jeremy Affeldt stared down all kinds of pressure. But none compared to the stress he faced in his personal life, when things completely fell apart. He learned that going it alone in a crisis is like trying to pitch without a catcher—there’s no one to help with the next pitch or advise you on the curveballs.In Built for the Storm, Affeldt shares his personal story—including pitching with double vision in Game 7 of the 2014 World Series—and the lesson he’s learned: It’s better to find your herd—a small group of friends who are there for you whenthe next storm hits. It’s called the “buffalo mentality”—a mindset to run toward the storm, rather than away from it. Not because the storm isn’t terrifying, but because it is. And when we face the storm and move into it, there’s a good chance we’ll get through it faster. Especially together. That’s the buffalo mentality. That’s built for the storm.

  Peta has touched so many lives and continues to do so. 
  An incredible storyteller, poet, writer and creative, Peta is a testament to a life well-lived. Her ability to love, care, and serve others seems to have no limits.

  Some stories are written. Mine was lived. 
  In these fifty days, I didn’t just tell a tale – I let truth strip me bare. 
   Every chapter is a confession, every pause a heartbeat, every whisper a choice I can’t take back. 
  Volume Two of 50 Days of Passion takes you deeper into the fire – where tenderness meets raw desire, where silence speaks louder than words, and where love is tested, broken, and reborn. 
  It is not a fantasy. It is an autobiographical experience lived in real time, with no filters and no apologies. 
  If you are ready to listen without judgment, to feel without holding back… 
  Then step inside and don’t look back.

  Benediction - From their pens to...

  F Scott itzgerald

  Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on 24th September 1896 in Saint Paul, Minnesota into an upper-middle class family. Whilst his mother was pregnant with him, his two young sisters tragically died.  Fitzgerald once said this was when his destiny as a writer was ordained. 
  His intelligence and talent was recognised from an early age, with his first story, about a detective being published in the school magazine when he was just 13.   
  In 1913 he enrolled at Princeton but his devotion to his own literary pursuits resulted in him leaving and, rather bizarrely, joining the Army.  In 1918, stationed at Fort Sheridan near Montgomery, Alabama he met and became infatuated and then inseparable from Zelda Sayre.  Initially though she refused to marry him but with the success of ‘This Side of Paradise’, the fame and the flow of money enabled them both to begin a gilded life.  For them this was The Jazz Age.  For Fitzgerald he was already an alcoholic. 
  He continued to write with great mastery and the titles of his novels and many of his 164 short stories are household names.  The Great Gatsby, often cited as The Great American Novel was published to mixed reviews.  As America moved from the Great Depression to the slaughter of the Second World War his works and himself were seen as far too entwined with the decadent twenties. The world had moved on and he hadn’t.   
  Further tragedy was never far from his life. Zelda after years of erratic and now intolerable behaviour was committed to an institution in 1936.  His own sales began to decline and he became a hack for hire in Hollywood, dependent on increasing amounts of booze and the weekly pay check.  His drunken state had often resulted in arrest or hospitalisation, further imperiling his talents.   Despite his contribution to many MGM films he received only one credit. 
  The end came all too soon for one of America’s greatest ever writers.  On 21st December 1940, at only 44 years of age in Hollywood, F Scott Fitzgerald succumbed to a heart attack.
