A tender picture book that celebrates memories and friendship about a young koala and a friend who has moved away. Little Koala has a long ride home, and every place her mother passes invokes a memory of her best friend: the ice cream shop where they giggled uncontrollably; the hill in the park where they crashed their bikes (that memory also lives on as a little scar on Koala’s knee), the library where they borrowed their favorite book again and again. Koala’s friendship blooms beautifully on the page, seamlessly interwoven with the ride home, and soon we learn just why these memories are so important: Koala’s friend has moved away. The story ends on a lovely note of hope: Koala and her friend are still close, despite the distance. The Long Ride Home is a universal and broadly appealing friendship story that explores the power of memory with tenderness, warmth, and heart. Stephanie Graegin expertly balances the bittersweet sensations of cherishing a moment long past with artwork that is rendered in soft, sepia hues in a way that only she can.
How have Black women elders managed stress? In Black Women's Yoga History, Stephanie Y. Evans uses primary sources to answer that question and to show how meditation and yoga from eras of enslavement, segregation, and migration to the Civil Rights, Black Power, and New Age movements have been in existence all along. Life writings by Harriet Jacobs, Sadie and Bessie Delany, Eartha Kitt, Rosa Parks, Jan Willis, and Tina Turner are only a few examples of personal case studies that are included here, illustrating how these women managed traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression. In more than fifty yoga memoirs, Black women discuss practices of reflection, exercise, movement, stretching, visualization, and chanting for self-care. By unveiling the depth of a struggle for wellness, memoirs offer lessons for those who also struggle to heal from personal, cultural, and structural violence. This intellectual history expands conceptions of yoga and defines inner peace as mental health, healing, and wellness that is both compassionate and political.
Hooked on Self-Help Craving a quick fix: When the recession turned her life upside down, Stephanie Krikorian had to reinvent her life...and fast. She started ghostwriting self-help books for women. Between writing and researching she realized that everywhere she looked there was AFOG. Another freaking opportunity for growth. Soon she wasn't just writing each book; she was living them. This was the start of a ten-year zen bender of dieting, dating, journaling, meditating, and Marie-Kondo-ing on a quest for that ultimate self-help high. Fifty and fabulous: Stephanie Krikorian spent her forties trying all of the dating hacks to find love and respect, all of the diets to build self-esteem in a new body, and all of the spiritual guidance to become centered through self-care. On the brink of turning fifty she realized that being better wasn't what she craved; it was something else altogether. Learn to laugh at yourself and trust yourself: Zen Bender is the story of one woman's journey to radical acceptance, with some questionable advice along the way. A witty, moving, insightful story, the woman behind bestselling celebrity self-help books shares her story of being hooked on the self-help fix for a decade before learning that all the self-help in the world won't help you trust gut. A Self-confidence book for women: For anyone tired of promises to change everything in just thirty days, this book is a breath of fresh air. Readers who enjoyed self-confidence books for women like The Universe Has Your Back, The Self-Love Experiment, The Gifts of Imperfection, and Yogabitch will love the message of radical acceptance in Zen Bender: A Decade-Long Enthusiastic Quest to Fix Everything (That Was Never Broken).

The incidence of Alzheimer’s disease is increasing worldwide. The need to fortify global resources conducting clinical trials becomes of paramount importance for sponsors to ensure less delay in marketing their products. This chapter provides a concise and practical approach to building capacity and capability in emerging or developing markets. Lessons learned from countries like China and India, where the top 12 pharmaceutical and biotech companies have become deeply entrenched in the last 10 years, serve as important benchmarks which can be referenced as new emerging markets like Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines establish themselves as available and capable areas for clinical trials. Referenced case studies describe actual events from which valuable practical pearls can be adapted in other settings. Sponsors need to recognize that investing early on in developing project teams that can support these trials creates a better landscape for success.

Copper, along with many other elements, produces a unique sheen when it is introduced to water. That sheen is called the "patina." As we are subject to the Living Water and the elements of God's Word, there should be a visible change produced in us. The Christian culture timidly tends to resist this change and tries to appeal to the world by worldly means. We refuse the allure that God offers us. This devotional is a simple challenge for you to place Christ back on the throne of your life and allow His allure and beauty to be revealed through you. Stephanie Cherry is an author, painter, songwriter, and speaker who daily seeks to explore the creativity of our Creator, God. Her passion is serving the body of Christ, especially her home church. She resides in Texas with her husband, Denbigh. They spend much of their time traveling, as he leads worship across the country. www.22ONE7.org Patina edited by Emily Crow.
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven." Matthew 5:16 "It's all about Jesus." In November of 2009, during a lucid interval in a hospital room, Stephanie Bell was urgently writing on her blanket with her right index finger. When given a pen and paper to decipher what she was writing, she repeatedly scrawled that sentence, superimposing it on one spot on the paper. That was one of the final sentences and the underlying message of her prolific writing career. Stephanie Bell accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at age 10 and went to Heaven at age 20. She was baptized during her teens. A multigifted, prolific novelist, poet, essayist, author of several installments of fan fiction, this accomplished musician, dancer and artist gives her testimony and proclaims the Gospel, telling her story of the trials and triumphs of adolescence and ultimately, a ravaging disease, in this collection of her essays, prose, poetry and blogs presented largely in chronological order. Stephanie proclaimed Jesus on this earth for as long as she was able, using every ounce of strength that she drew from the Lord. Her "High School Graduation Speech" inspired people across the state. "My 30th Birthday" is instructive; its poignancy, inescapable. This is a portrait of a young woman's vulnerability, yet courage and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ.
