I AM: HERE - My Faith Journey as...

Claudia Beasley, Michael...

This is a book about my faith journey from a young adult to my senior years. Being a survivor of COVID, I knew the LORD still had a purpose for my life. I listened to the voice in my heart and knew I needed to write this book as an encouragement to others. Events happen in life that can cause us to see ourselves as victims or survivors. I choose using my Faith "hat" to be a survivor; an overcomer in all things. You will read about my 60 day hospital stay and 4 month home health journey and how my identified "hats" brought me through it all. My COVID survival is a miracle from GOD. Identify your "hats" so the road in front of you can be paved; and a way made for you by HIM. May you always be an overcomer. After 40 years of teaching, I started living my retired life in the country home that my husband and I designed together. My faith journey spans several decades and I have worn many "hats" during my life. I have tied them securely and held them in place with my Faith "hat" to face many a trial and tribulation both emotionally and physically. I have experienced divorce 3 times, miscarriage twice, sexual assault, as well as having 2 beautiful children, enjoying relationships with siblings, experiencing grandchildren, and finally a soulmate and loving husband. I have learned to listen to the small voice in my heart and follow the LORD's leading. I am a modern day walking talking miracle.

Remembering Your Ancestral Fire...

M. Taylor

This book is not for musicians or African drumming enthusiasts - it is for all humans! It is a collage of my experiences learning, playing, and teaching djembe, a goblet-shaped West African drum. It is not chronological, but it is thematic, focusing on various aspects of my life, including my trips to Guinea in West Africa and other places around the world to learn and share djembe, “Africanesque” folktales I have written, and hopefully, a few kernels of wisdom about music and life that will help you on your own journey. Journal entries and folktales are sprinkled throughout and are not always related to the chapter itself but add additional insight into my experiences. My interest in djembe—a West African drum—is also an interest in people, culture, communication, and the meaning of life. That may sound overly philosophical, but I hope you’ll see what I mean by the time you finish reading this book.
Here are a few facts about me that may be helpful to know before we continue. My full name is Michael Taylor, but I prefer to be called “Taylor.” I am biracial and adopted, with a black father and white mother, which means much of my early life was spent trying to understand why I didn’t fit in. I think djembe found me to bring me home to part of my ethnic lineage as well as to my purpose in this lifetime. Learning djembe, for me, has been a search for identity, awareness, and connection. Perhaps you are attracted to music, art, certain foods, literature, or something else for similar reasons. I hope this book contains universal truths that will resonate with your own experiences. If nothing else, playing djembe all over the world has taught me that while we all have unique gifts and different experiences, we have far more in common. Some of us may march to the beat of a different drum, but we all have something beautiful and unique to add to the rhythm.
Enjoy and appreciate your journey! Now read about mine…

Bridey Murphy Recordings

Morey Bernstein, Virginia Tighe

In 1952, Colorado businessman and amateur hypnotist Morey Bernstein put housewife Virginia Tighe of Pueblo, Colorado, in a trance using a technique called hypnotic regression. It had sparked off startling revelations about Tighe's alleged past life as a 19th-century Irishwoman, Bridey Murphy, and her rebirth in the United States 59 years later. 
Bernstein wrote a book in 1956, The Search for Bridey Murphy, which became a New York Times best-seller, eventually being published in 30 languages in 34 countries, and was later made into a movie. In this recording you will hear one of the actual hypnotism sessions.

A Life In Letters

Simone Weil, Marie-Noelle...

Now in the pantheon of great thinkers, Simone Weil (1909–1943) lived largely in the shadows, searching for her spiritual home while bearing witness to the violence that devastated Europe twice in her brief lifetime. The letters she wrote to her parents and brother from childhood onward chart her intellectual range as well as her itinerancy and ever-shifting preoccupations, revealing the singular personality at the heart of her brilliant essays. 
 
 
 
The first complete collection of Weil's missives to her family, A Life in Letters offers new insight into her personal relationships and experiences. The letters abound with vivid illustrations of a life marked by wisdom as much as seeking. The daughter of a bourgeois Parisian Jewish family, Weil was a troublemaking idealist who preferred the company of miners and Russian exiles to that of her peers. An extraordinary scholar of history and politics, she ultimately found a home in Christian mysticism. 
 
 
 
A Life in Letters depicts Simone Weil's thought taking shape amid political turmoil, as she describes her participation in the Spanish struggle against fascism and in the transatlantic resistance to the Nazis. An introduction and notes by Robert Chenavier contextualize the letters historically and intellectually, relating Weil's letters to her general body of writing.
