I've done this before. I knew the powerful potential building inside her. Her heart beat faster. My breaths grew deeper. When her face disappeared into the soft sea of birth, I knew the sacred dance was in full swing. I remember: birth isn't for the strong or brave or cunning. It's for those who are supported.

Using ordinary language and appealing to the acknowledged facts of experience, Bishop Butler presented a guidebook on how to live in pursuit of happiness and the benefit of all. This book introduces readers to Butler’s philosophy as a whole and to the primary texts in his own words. Butler was an advocate and consistently defended the Church of England and its associated morality and theology in all his works. He insisted on the necessity of having good reasons to support any belief or practice toward which one was attracted. Butler’s ideas are presented here as a good fit with the full range of theistic piety and with the varieties of ethical atheism. The imposition of dogma and the exposition of bias are discarded as distractive from the search for truth. The life, sources, works, and reception of Bishop Butler serve as a bridge, or navigational aid, joining the wisdom of the ancients, sacred and secular, with our experience as moderns and with our expectations for future generations. Since Butler insists on grounding his views in evidence and argumentation, his appeal extends well beyond the Anglican Communion. Butler’s clarity of expression and cogency of argumentation free him from the bias associated with philosophical and religious thought. His work remains critical of, and receptive to, a wide range of ways to carry on the business of living a human life without falling into the kind of error and distraction most likely to lead to misery.
She was determined. Frantic even. Twenty-three challenging hours of labor and she was fiercely hungry. Before this moment, I didn't know. Before this, I've only imagined. She looked in my eyes and in a skip of a heart beat, we understood. She latched. Rhythmic, restful, nourishing swallows. I smiled. This is just the beginning.

MaryAnn finally convinced her parents to allow her to join public school instead of finishing up her last four years being homeschooled. It was a day filled with excitement, love at first sight, tragedy, and losing not one but both parents. It was hard enough then to be pulled from the only home you knew and right back into homeschool. Years later, she finds herself married, living a few blocks from the home she once shared with her parents. It won’t be long until tragedy hits again. What will she do? Who will be there to lift her as she begins to fall, especially when she learns the truth about her husband?
Jeanne Maranda explains the work that was accomplished over 25 years to change the image of women in advertising. After working with a team in Quebec, Evaluation-Média, as part of a national network, she founded MédiAction as an independent organism to continue the work, and was later invited to join La Meute, an international network based in France, which lobbied against sexism in publicity. In 2002, La Meute and MédiAction joined forces to start a new group with common goals, and in 2006, the last collaboration became known as the National Coalition Against Sexism in Advertising. Here is the story of this important chapter in feminism's awareness and advance.
