monde - des artisanes de lumière modernes, qui ont accepté de naître au cours de cette période historique. Pour être florissantes en cette nouvelle ère, nous devons cultiver l'expression authentique de notre essence. La lumière vous va si bien vous permettra de mieux entendre les appels de votre âme et d'éclairer le monde par votre présence. Rebecca Campbell a vécu son premier éveil à l'adolescence, mais faute de guide, elle a ignoré les appels de son âme et tamisé sa lumière afin de s'adapter. Puis, juste avant son trentième anniversaire, la vie qu'elle s'était si consciencieusement créée a commencé à s'effondrer. On aurait dit que tout s'éteignait autour d'elle, et elle n'a eu d'autre choix que de redécouvrir sa propre lumière. Dans ce livre, Rebecca raconte son parcours tout en proposant, à partir de messages qu'elle a canalisés de l'Univers, des outils pratiques qui vous aideront à vous raccorder à l'essence de votre être.

"Short stories have to accomplish a nearly impossible magic trick: to introduce a world often much stranger than our own…
and make you care about it in a matter of pages," writes R. F. Kuang in her introduction. "The most important part of this magic trick is just a willingness to get weird." The stories in The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2023 are brimming with bizarre and otherworldly premises. Women can't lie or fall in love. Fathers feed their children ghost preserves. Souls chase one another through animal incarnations. Yet these stories are grounded deeply in our reality. Out of these stories' weirdness emerges the cruelty of border enforcement, the horror of legislation restricting reproductive freedom, the frightening pace of AI. The result is a stunning, immersive, intensely felt experience, showing us less of what the world is, and more of what it could be. The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2023 includes Nathan Ballingrud KT Bryski Isabel Cañas Maria Dong Kim Fu Theodora Goss Alix E. Harrow S. L.

Par Jada Pinkett Smith. 2023
A gripping, at times painfully honest, and ultimately inspirational memoir from global superstar and creator of the Red Table Talk…
series Jada Pinkett Smith. Jada Pinkett Smith was living what many would view as a fairy-tale of Hollywood success. But appearances can be deceiving, and as she felt more and more separated from her sense of self, emotional turmoil took hold. Sparing no detail, Worthy chronicles her life—from a rebellious youth running the Baltimore streets as an observer and participant in the drug trade, to the deep bond she shared with Tupac Shakur from the moment they met, to her move to Los Angeles and the successful career she built on her own terms, to becoming the wife of superstar Will Smith and mother to Jaden, Willow and bonus-mom to Trey . A rollercoaster from the depths of suicidal depression to the heights of self-acceptance and spiritual healing, Worthy is a woman's journey to finding herself again. In a media driven landscape that crafts narratives for our celebrities, Smith shares herself in an intimate conversation with readers. She answers questions about her difficult childhood, her marriage, her parenting style, her career choices, and the intense scrutiny that followed "the slap." An impactful and rare memoir that engages and educates, Worthy shows why adhering to the status quo has never been the plan for Jada Pinkett Smith and why labels and stories crafted by others strip women of their authenticity. Worthy teaches us who Jada is, and how to embrace our most lovable qualities. Complete with thought-provoking writing prompts and meditations on how to discover who we really are and nourish our self-worth
