As a young girl, I always feared the Almighty God. I was born and raised in Baltimore City, a second child among six siblings, and raised by a truly wonderful woman of God, Rev. Dr. Frances L Waters. I, too, have grown to become a warrior for the sake of God, knowing that I had a calling on my life. I was led not only to reveal God's power by becoming a minister for Christ but also to share my experiences in life to those who may feel and think there is no hope. I'm expecting my story of events to touch deep into someone's heart that may have endured such trauma and pain in their life, and to let them know that God has the healing power for anything we face in this life. I am a true witness to those that have little faith in this powerful and Almighty God. Allow yourselves to put just a little of your faith and trust in this powerful God. I want to brag on his Grace and Mercy like how he reached down so far while I was at my lowest point in life and he rescued me. I am no longer afraid of what others may think of me. Once I publish my book and allow my light to shine, I want to show others His power to empower people. I believe in myself and feel that writing this book is a part of my life's purpose. I know I am placed on this earth to empower and uplift some bowed-down heads. My motto in life is as follows: All things happen for a reason. Place all your fears, worries, frustrations, and loss of hope in the hands of the Almighty God. My desire is to convince, uplift, and inspire people about this awesome God. All I have done this far in my life is brag about what our God can do. Remember the purpose of this book! Everything I'll go through has the potential to help someone along the way. I have the desire to use my book as a tool to leverage for a greater purpose, a meaningful movement, and a bigger mission for the sake of the Almighty God--a rape victim trusting God while being blindfold by the enemy.
Devoted, eccentric, and compelling, Gertrude and Leo Stein were constant companions, from childhood to adulthood, until, finally, they spoke no more. Americans, expatriates, and virtually orphans, they lived together for almost forty years, collaborating in one of the great artistic and literary adventures of the twentieth century. Sister Brother tells the story of that adventure and relationship. With a personality that drew people toward her?regardless of what they thought of her inventive, hermetic prose?Gertrude Stein dazzled and perplexed. Enigmatic, intelligent, and self-absorbed, Leo also dazzled but in his own way. One of the crucial figures in Gertrude?s early years, he was the original guiding spirit of the famed salon at 27 rue de Fleurus, which continued for almost two decades. From her early days as a medical student to her first days in Paris, Gertrude was passionately driven toward the career in which she distinguished herself, demanding appreciation as an exceptional writer who knew precisely what she intended. This book shows how Gertrude slowly struggled with what became a unique voice?and why her brother spurned it. ø With its wealth of new and rare material, its reconstruction of Leo?s famed art collection, and its array of characters?from Bernard Berenson to Pablo Picasso?this biography offers the first glimpse into the smoldering sibling relationship that helped form two of the twentieth century?s most unusual figures.

Between these pages the reader will learn that North Carolina citizens did not idly stand by as their soldiers marched off to war. The women worked themselves into “patriotic exhaustion” through Aid Societies. Civilians with different means of support from the lower class to the plantation mistress wrote the governor complaining of hoarding, speculation, the tithe, bushwhackers, unionism, conscription, and exemptions. Never before had so many died due to guerilla warfare. Unknown before starving women with weapons stormed the merchant or warehouses in search for food. Others turned to smuggling, spying, or nature’s oldest profession. Information from period newspapers, as well as mostly unpublished letters, tell their stories.

True stories of compassion, heroism, and kindness in the midst of a historic tragedy. Every tragedy has its heroes, and there were many in the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., on 9/11 and in the difficult days that followed. In this inspiring volume, Jackie Waldman, author of The Courage to Give, has collected the dramatic stories of some of the firefighters, rescue workers, police, medics, relatives searching for missing loved ones, and everyday people who, in the face of horror, sprang into action to save lives and help their communities. From the ASPCA leader who lost a sister that day and went on to lead an effort to rescue abandoned pets from the area, to the music student who went to Ground Zero to play for the toiling rescue workers, these vivid accounts, written in the immediate aftermath, paint a vivid picture of that infamous event—and remind us of what is best in us even in the worst of times.
Stickley didn’t like making mistakes. “Oh no!” he’d say, and he wouldn’t try again. He wanted to be perfect. Many children—and adults!—don’t like making mistakes. But mistakes are a natural and necessary part of growing up. What’s more, research shows that how we view mistakes determines whether we embrace challenges or avoid them altogether. Children who are willing to learn from mistakes take more risks in their learning—and are more likely to keep trying when they are challenged—than children who are hesitant to do anything wrong. Stickley Makes a Mistake! shows kids how to hop up, try again, and say “oh well!” when they make a mistake—just like Stickley! Includes a Note to Parents, Caregivers, and Teachers with more information about the importance of having a healthy attitude towards mistakes, and advice for encouraging children to embrace their mistakes, learn from them, and keep trying.
