  "Footprints in the Sand of Caregiving" is a compilation of a soul's reflections on its solitary walk on the shore of a lonely island of caregiving. 
  Withdrawn from my previous routines, lifestyle and social activities to focus on caregiving, I feel isolated and disconnected. In my loneliness and desperation, from the bottom of my heart, I cry to the Lord and the Lord answers me saying: "My steadfast love never ceases; my mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is my faithfulness" 
  (Lamentations 3: 22 -23). 
  What a wonderful promise of our Father God! When I am tempted to wallow in the mud of self-pity, I turn my gaze to the Lord. When I become depressed and distressed, I cling to His promise of unceasing love and mercy which are new every morning. 
  May these reflections lighten your path when you cross the dark valleys of life. May God bless you, my friend.

  Sometimes disease is not about disease, sometimes it is about what we need to heal in our lives, and it can take us on a journey of self-discovery — if only we are willing to take that path. Healing occurs on many levels and comes from many sources. Healing is our own responsibility; other people, including doctors, can only guide us.’ 
  Teresa Towpik, 
  Cancer, My Greatest Teacher follows Dr Towpik on her journey through cancer, and how she found an inner strength she never knew she possessed in dealing with the cancer. Dr Towpik takes readers on a journey through her life from her early years in Poland through to the moment she discovered the life-changing lump. Dr Towpik is forced to confront not only the disease itself but also all the other aspects of her life that needed to be healed. 'Cancer got me on my knees, made me humble and humiliated, and it made me investigate my existence and mortality. I was forced to question who I am, and this ultimately led me to create other experiences in my life.' 
  Cancer, My Greatest Teacher is a powerful narrative of a woman who confronts her fears and embraces cancer as her guru and guide. Dr Towpik shares her belief that healing is unique to each individual, it comes from many sources and occurs on many levels, spiritual, mental, physical, emotional.

  In this powerful and inspiring memoir, a Pakistani immigrant shares his story of finding new freedoms and a new faith in America. 
  It’s easy to talk about freedom. But unless someone has lived in a world that suffocates freedom, it’s difficult to appreciate the liberty found in America. This is the true story of a Pakistani Muslim who immigrates to the United States for college and discovers five transformational freedoms along the way: the freedom to fail and start over, to love, to choose one’s faith, to be an entrepreneur, and to self-govern. 
  Contrasting these precious freedoms with the life he lived in Pakistan, Ali’s story reveals that God is the true source of liberty as He works in people’s lives to bring about redemption. A call to value and preserve American freedoms, Beyond the Golden Door is also an invitation for readers to consider ultimate freedom in Jesus Christ.

  The place where the author tells you what the story is about.  The scene; Charleston SC, party capital of the South East. The epoch 1990-2002 and the theme, what is full maybe soon become empty.  This concerns money, time, alcohol, and other vices. I am writing to you young eager college freshman that might be missing something in your life.  It deals with you and your dreams.  It could mean the difference between you becoming a meager wage earner or a happy, content person with solid footing.  You peers may determine your future if you allow them to kill your dreams. Come with me to the year of 1990.  The pace was slower, people were not addicted to the ‘net, cell phones, and texting someone was still on a sticky piece of paper.  Flyers of local bands were plentiful and formed a backdrop of human color to the polished college campus.  The Doric columns by the Cistern at the College of Knowledge held sway over us.  The neo-European classical architecture, bordered with world famous iron works constantly reminded us of the genteel nature of Charleston SC.   Club venues like Café 99, East Bay Trading Company, the Tree house, the Juke-box, Myskans, Henry’s, High Cotton, A. C’s, Mike Calder’s Pub, Indigo’s were some of the happiest spots on the Earth for us soon to be adults.  What mattered to us were the music, the wine, and the sunshine.  For beaches were also part of that innocent charm Charleston warmed us with during the early 1990s.  Some of the clubs you did not want to go due continual beer fights are not listed, but still sit invitingly to College of Knowledge students to this day! Plus other Tales from Market and Calhoun Streets during wonderful weekends of 1999-2002. I was a lowly U. S. Navy veteran who just finished four years of playing a Marine at MCAS (Marine Corps Air Station) Beaufort.  More on that story later.  Well for most of you freshman orientation is a drag.  As it was for me, but what it did do was provide me with some direction.
