The Power of Presence

Be a Voice in Your Child's Ear Even When You're Not with Them

By: Joy Thomas Moore

For single parents, working parents, and caregivers who worry about the time they spend away from their children, the mother of The Other Wes Moore shares strategies to raise happy, well adjusted kids. As the mother of Wes Moore, whose memoir about overcoming the obstacles that face a fatherless young black man was a huge bestseller, Joy is constantly asked: How did you do it? How can you be a good parent, have a career and stay healthy when you don't have a partner to pick up the slack? How do you connect with a child when you can't always be there? Joy's answer is "presence." Specifically, seven different ways of being a force in a child's life, ensuring that they feel your influence. We can't always be physically there for our children, but the power of presence can help us to be a voice in the back of their minds that guides them through difficult times. In The Power of Presence, Moore explores seven pillars of presence--heart, faith, mind, courage, financial freedom, values, and connectedness--that all parents can use to positively influence their children. Using compelling stories from women who have been there and practical advice on everything from savings accounts to mindfulness, this book is a compassionate look at what it takes to raise great kids even in less than ideal circumstances. /DIV

The Journal of Thomas Moore

By: Thomas Moore,Barbara Bartholomew,Joy L. Linsley

For over a hundred years, the journal of the Irish poet Thomas Moore (1779-1852) was thought to have been destroyed. In 1967 the manuscript was found in the archives of the Longman Publishing House in London. This edition, to be published in six volumes, reveals the essential Moore and introduces the reader to the daily, personal record of Moore's life from 1818 to 1847. The journal begins as an accurate rendering of the author's daily life and ends as a tragic reflection of a failing memory and a deteriorating mind.

Stealing the Show

How Women Are Revolutionizing Television

By: Joy Press

From a leading cultural journalist, the definitive cultural history of female showrunners—including exclusive interviews with such influential figures as Shonda Rhimes, Amy Sherman-Palladino, Mindy Kaling, Amy Schumer, and many more. “An urgent and entertaining history of the transformative powers of women in TV” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). In recent years, women have radically transformed the television industry both behind and in front of the camera. From Murphy Brown to 30 Rock and beyond, these shows and the extraordinary women behind them have shaken up the entertainment landscape, making it look as if equal opportunities abound. But it took decades of determination in the face of outright exclusion to reach this new era. In this “sharp, funny, and gorgeously researched” (Emily Nussbaum, The New Yorker) book, veteran journalist Joy Press tells the story of the maverick women who broke through the barricades and the iconic shows that redefined the television landscape starting with Diane English and Roseanne Barr—and even incited controversy that reached as far as the White House. Drawing on a wealth of original interviews with the key players like Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls), Jenji Kohan (Orange is the New Black), and Jill Soloway (Transparent) who created storylines and characters that changed how women are seen and how they see themselves, this is the exhilarating behind-the-scenes story of a cultural revolution.

One of Us Must Be Crazy...and I'm Pretty Sure It's You

Making Sense of the Differences that Divide Us

By: Tim Downs,Joy Downs

Marriages are under increasing strain these days, with over half of them ending in divorce. Conflict is seen as grounds to end a marriage, rather than an opportunity to grow closer to each other and to God. The Seven Conflicts is an excellent resource for equipping couples to learn to understand the true nature of their conflicts and deal with them in a way that will actually help their marital fulfillment. Couples will learn to identify their mutual dreams, put differences into perspective, understand each other's underlying motives, and work together as partners who are more in love than ever.

"Get Moving!"

A Joyful Search to Meet and Embrace Life Transitions

By: Joy Nevin

When we live a long time we become no strangers to loss...our children grow up, they leave the nest, they no longer need our daily pearls of wisdom, and our wrinkle free youth disappears. Losses also come with moving, and it took me years to understand how many there are. I thought loss only occurred when leaving a place permanently. Silly me. Loss comes with change, from lack of familiarity, from disruption of routine. Loss assaults us when we least expect it. Loss is felt whenever we feel a disconnect from anyone, anything or anywhere we love. My latest loss occurred at age 57. I unexpectedly found myself leading a "commuter life" as my adored husband of 38 years retired from one corporation and was hired by another. Because we had already moved a dozen times, we decided to keep our Happy-Ever-After-Home in Virginia and buy a condo in North Carolina that was convenient to his new job. This seemed like the ideal solution for both of us.

Loss is felt whenever we feel a disconnect from anyone, anything or anywhere we love. My latest loss occurred at age 57. I unexpectedly found myself leading a "commuter life" as my adored husband of 38 years retired from one corporation and was hired by another. Because we had already moved a dozen times, we decided to keep our Happy-Ever-After-Home in Virginia and buy a condo in North Carolina that was convenient to his new job. This seemed like the ideal solution for both of us. Easier said than done. Suddenly I felt like a displaced person. Traveling back and forth from Virginia to North Caroline once or even twice a week had me thinking of myself as "Yo Yo Me." Time with friends and activities had to be rearranged or cancelled...and that was no fun at this age...I knew I had to "get a grip," because I hated feeling so dismal whenever I was in the condo alone. Gradually, I realized what an advantage it was. For the first time in my adult life, I had some time to myself. I sat down at the computer and began to reminisce about life as a moving corporate wife of nearly four decades. My fingers flew, as did the hours. As the weeks passed, I found that I began to look forward to that uninterrupted time writing my "journal." It evolved...at first I wrote pages and pages of anecdotes about our experiences as a newly married couple and novice parents. I wrote about glorious friends we have made and kept. I wrote about the missing moving van when we went from New York State to Canada. I wrote about the temperature changes of going from Maine to Mobile in August. I wrote about the funny, as well as, sad experiences we had shared as a family. Slowly, I felt an awakening from inside myself...deeper reflections bubbled up from the depths of my soul. I began to think about how moving had shaped me as a person. I thought about the effects of frequent upheaval on our four treasured children through the years. I thought about the challenge of keeping a marriage healthy and vibrant in spite of constant relocation. I thought about the dynamics of change in all of our lives and I became curious as to how other people, outside our family, coped.Suddenly the scope of moving became poignantly philosophical...I realized that even though I thought I could anticipate and adjust to yet another way of living, I was susceptible to feelings I did not understand. Yes! It was time to examine those emotions, try to make sense of them and share them with others. It was time to "GET MOVING!" Allow yourself to open a new door when one closes. Let yourself be more considerate. Develop tolerance.Be flexible. Count your blessings...over and over again.
