Pour que votre taux vibratoire soit à son maximum, il faut gérer vos pensées afin d'augmenter la matière énergétique. Mais encore faut-il savoir penser! Facile, dites-vous! Toutefois, nous portons souvent le poids négatif de nos pensées, à notre insu ou non, et des idées du genre: la peur d'être malade, la crainte de perdre son emploi, les problèmes qui s'accumulent, les inquiétudes face à son avenir, etc., ces idées, donc, nous paralysent. Daniel Sévigny vous donne ici les clés du secret.

better to address those contentious culture war conflicts that divide us? By becoming better at riding our quirky feelings elephants through marshalling our less quirky thoughts. This concept is explored through brief essays on topics ranging from family life, organization behavior, and music, to Christianity, public policy, and politics. These essays focus on lessons drawn from the author's experiences interviewing for jobs, raising stepchildren, playing music, training New York City taxi drivers, watching sports, shepherding dogs, finding common ground on abortion, leading diversity programs, and loving his wife. They suggest that common ground does exist if we can find the patience, skill, and grace to create it. Adult. Strong languageTell me how to be: A Novel

love most. By turns irreverent and tender, filled with the beats of '90s R&B, Tell Me How to Be is about our earliest betrayals and the cost of reconciliation. But most of all, it is the love story of a mother and son each trying to figure out how to be in the world. Adult. Descriptions of sex. Strong language"Since the day they said, "I do," Peggy's previous "doting" lifestyle met with her husband John's minimalist ways and became…
the backdrop for years of adventure and a quirky sense of humor because of their differences. From thoughts of wearing headlamps in the house to save energy, to squeezing out the last drop of toothpaste with a workbench vise, Peggy learned to pick her battles and celebrate the hilarity in each situation. Once their boys were born, woodstove mishaps and garbage dumping tales were the seed for Mike's obsession with doing dirty jobs and the comical presence he is known for today. As Mike rose to fame, Peggy was his biggest fan-who gave motherly advice and constructive criticism, of course. She baked cookies for Mike to take to Joan Rivers for a Christmas party hostess gift, and even wrote fan letters under faux names and mailed them from different cities to Mike's producer. By the time Mike hits it big, Peggy and John retire to face more adventures, with a lightning strike in their condo, an elderly friend who ate marijuana leaves, and entering into celebrity status by making Viva paper towel and Lee jeans commercials, plus so much more. Peggy's stories relive the details that intrigue and entertain old and new fans alike. So if you want a bigger, even funnier take on the Rowe family, |About Your Father and Other Celebrities I Have Known| delivers." -- Provided by publisherBorn to build: the story of the Gene B.

Still so excited!: my life as a Pointer Sister
Par Ruth Pointer. 2016
"|Still So Excited!: My Life as a Pointer Sister| is an engaging, funny, heartbreaking, and poignant look at Ruth Pointer's…
roller-coaster life in and out of the Pointer Sisters. When overnight success came to the Pointer Sisters in 1973, they all thought it was the answer to their long-held prayers. While it may have served as an introduction to the good life, it also was an introduction to the high life of limos, champagne, white glove treatment, and mountains of cocaine that were the norm in the high-flying '70s and '80s. Pointer's devastating addictions took her to the brink of death in 1984. Pointer has bounced back to live a drug- and alcohol-free life for the past 30 years and she shares how in her first autobiography, detailing the Pointer Sisters' humble beginning, musical apprenticeship, stratospheric success, miraculous comeback, and the melodic sound that captured the hearts of millions of music fans." -- Provided by publisherUn armario lleno de sombra
Par Antonio Gamoneda. 2020
"After the death of his mother, Antonio Gamoneda decided to open the closet whose contents remained shrouded in shadow and…
could not be seen by anyone but her: 'I stuck my head in the darkness of the closet and then something happened that enveloped me in its physical reality: the smell of my mother. Alive.' The review of the contents of this closet provokes a sequence of memories that, over the pages, become narrative and story. The result is this book, a childhood memoir from the moment the Spanish Civil War broke out until the day before his fourteenth birthday. His father, a journalist and author of a single book of poems, |Another Higher Life|, died the year after Antonio Gamoneda was born. In 1934, his mother decided to move with her son from Oviedo to León and there they lived through the Spanish war and post-war period, with the extreme precariousness of a family without resources. Of the humiliations imposed by poverty, of their passage through the school of the Augustinian friars (not innocent of abuses and perversions), of the bloody repression during the civil war and the postwar period very present in León, the reader will find the details in the pages of this book, the moving account of a childhood lived in the darkest years of Spain's recent history." -- GoodreadsMa bible du maternage proximal

physiologiques et primaires avec tous les mammifères. Depuis plus d'un siècle pourtant, les principes d'éducation en vigueur nous éloignent de nos instincts : on nous pousse à laisser l'enfant dormir dans sa chambre, à ne pas trop le porter et à le laisser pleurer, au risque qu'il devienne capricieux. Charlotte Lardery, sage-femme, nous aide ici à trouver la parentalité la plus juste possible, à l'écoute de notre enfant et de ses besoins. Vivre sa grossesse en pleine conscience, faire une place au futur bébé, trouver et se préparer à l'accouchement qui nous correspond : des pistes éclairées pour bien accueillir le nouveau-né. Toutes les clés pour mettre en place un maternage proximal instinctif ressourçant au quotidien : portage, alimentation, sommeil, bain, massage, change... Les réponses à toutes les questions que nous nous posons sur le développement, le lien d'attachement, la sécurité affective, la communication et le cadre éducatif liés à l'enfant ainsi que l'équilibre à trouver dans le couple. De précieux conseils pour que le partenaire, parfois mis à distance, prenne sa place dans cet accompagnement parental.

Par Peter Coviello. 2018
A passionate, heartfelt story about the many ways we fall in love: with books, bands and records, friends and lovers,…
and the families we make. Have you ever fallen in love--exalting, wracking, hilarious love--with a song? Long Players is a book about that everyday kind of besottedness--and, also, about those other, more entangling sorts of love that songs can propel us into. We follow Peter Coviello through his happy marriage, his blindsiding divorce, and his fumbling post marital forays into sex and romance. Above all we travel with him as he calibrates, mix by mix and song by song, his place in the lives of two little girls, his suddenly ex-stepdaughters. In his grief, he considers what keeps us alive (sex, talk, dancing) and the limitless grace of pop songs Adult. Strong language. UnratedA year by the sea: thoughts of an unfinished woman

"For Ingrid Rojas Contreras, magic runs in the family. Raised amid the political violence of 1980s and '90s Colombia, in…
a house bustling with her mother's fortune-telling clients, she was a hard child to surprise. Her maternal grandfather, Nono, was a renowned curandero, a community healer gifted with what the family called "the secrets": the power to talk to the dead, tell the future, treat the sick, and move the clouds. And as the first woman to inherit "the secrets," Rojas Contreras' mother was just as powerful. Mami delighted in her ability to appear in two places at once, and she could cast out even the most persistent spirits with nothing more than a glass of water. This legacy had always felt like it belonged to her mother and grandfather, until, while living in the U.S. in her twenties, Rojas Contreras suffered a head injury that left her with amnesia. As she regained partial memory, her family was excited to tell her that this had happened before: Decades ago Mami had taken a fall that left her with amnesia, too. And when she recovered, she had gained access to "the secrets." In 2012, spurred by a shared dream among Mami and her sisters, and her own powerful urge to relearn her family history in the aftermath of her memory loss, Rojas Contreras joins her mother on a journey to Colombia to disinter Nono's remains. With Mami as her unpredictable, stubborn, and often amusing guide, Rojas Contreras traces her lineage back to her Indigenous and Spanish roots, uncovering the violent and rigid colonial narrative that would eventually break her mestizo family into two camps: those who believe "the secrets" are a gift, and those who are convinced they are a curse." -- Amazon.comIn vitro (Ensayo (Editorial Almadía))
Par Isabel Zapata. 2021
"In vitro is a pregnancy essay. On the page, the writing gropes its way through unexplored territory. In the laboratory,…
under the watchful eye of the microscope, fertilization is also rehearsed. Pregnancy and writing take place on that threshold of possibilities. In this book, Isabel Zapata shines a light--or a lens--on an experience that seems to exist in a tiny darkness. While life makes its way in a Petri dish, the author poses questions that reveal the rawness of a treatment marked by uncertainty: How is the desire to be a mother articulated? Is there really a resolved mourning? With what voice does what we keep silent speak? Who breaks in childbirth? In In vitro the hidden is revealed as a daughter begins to take shape." -- Translation provided by NLSHelping your transgender teen: a guide for parents

"Going through puberty and adolescence presents unwelcome changes for many transgender youth, and this book provides advice to parents of…
transgender teens to help them understand what their child is experiencing and feeling during this challenging time. Addressing common fears and concerns that parents of transgender teens share, the book guides them through steps they can take with their child, including advice on hormones and surgery and how to transition socially. It addresses the recent increase in teens presenting with non-binary identities, and reflects major legal, social and medical developments regarding transgender issues. The author's insights are gained from his professional experience of providing psychotherapy regarding gender identity. He provides resources and further reading to help parents expand their knowledge. Although aimed predominantly at parents, this book is useful for anyone working with teenagers and young adults as it provides many answers to common questions about adolescent gender identity." -- Provided by publisherOut of denial: piecing together a fractured life
