The Best Part Of Me 2

Have you ever prayed for something harder than you’ve ever prayed for anything, and then it happens, and you don’t know if you’re really ready for it? Well, so has Goody. Praying for a good man then actually getting one were two totally different things. In her mind, her world would be complete if that happened, so naturally, when it did, she was happy but then came fear. Fear of what the future would hold, or whether or not she was even good enough for her answered prayers. Lucky for her, Jerrico Blake is well equipped and intently focused on Goody and every need she has. A man with many honorable traits, Jerrico is a Godsend, but he’s not to be taken lightly. Though he can withstand the toughest times with the hardest people, that doesn’t mean he wants to. Desiring love and happiness as much as the next person, Goody’s rejection may have worn thin. Not sure whether she’s worth the fight, Jerrico second guesses his initial intentions. Will Goody’s past destroy her future, or will she be woman enough to pick up her pieces and put her own future back together?

Love is always a beautiful thing when it’s shared, respected, and cherished. The moment it becomes any less than those three, your relationship and sanity are damned to hell. Don’t believe it? Just ask Paradise “Goody” Maverick. Once upon a time, she’d been the hopeless romantic type who thought she’d fall in love and stay that way forever, only to be painfully reminded that forever doesn’t always last. High school sweethearts and the only loves they’ve ever known, Goody and Kayson Miller have lived happily, chased dreams, and established a life together. The house, the cars, the success, and anything else Goody could name, they’d grinded and gotten it together. She had just gotten to the peak of her happiness when life decided to come around and knock her down. What happens when love is no longer enough? What do you do when you’re betrayed and left by your best friend? Who’s to blame when you have nothing left to give, not even to yourself? The idea of second chances seems utterly detestable, so when Jerrico shows up looking, smelling, and acting like a knight in shining armor, what’s a girl to do? Do you suck it up and move on, or do you harbor rage and bitterness? Ask Goody, she knows. The heart of the heartless, hollowed and emptied by that thing called love. Fed up and against anything that involves a man and her emotions, she’s prepared to kiss Jerrico goodbye, or so she thinks... welcome to the life of a SAVAGE. Men, remember, anything you can do... women can do better. Heads up, Queens, this one is for us!

It’s funny how love has a way of changing things. Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, life throws you a curveball. Marcellus Blake knew that better than anyone. He’d been living his life on a private high until being inadvertently forced to expose himself. Not at all accustomed to explaining himself or considering any needs outside of his own, he’s become immersed in one of the most difficult situations of his life. Not realizing it until it was too late, Marcellus finds his heart torn between two women with no way out. Everything that seemed right and natural has now become the biggest fight of his life. How does he walk away from everything he’s known to embark on an unknown road with uncertain feelings? More than willing and inadvertently eager to trust his newest feelings, Marcellus pursues what feels right, only to be met with one barrier after the next. What’s a man to do when he’s broken the heart that was made for him? How does he retract the feelings that were never supposed to form? Where does he start picking up the regretful pieces that he’s lost? Above all, when does the woman he wants, begin to want him back? ...It’s all fun and games until the person you love no longer loves you back...

A brother's best friend story from NYT and USA Today bestselling author Evelyn Adams about about a woman who plans for every contigency and a man who runs from order. Right into each other's arms. Adeline Ryan has always played by the rules and taken the road most traveled, but that hasn’t gotten her anywhere close to where she wants to be. She’s stuck in the same small town she grew up in with too many siblings, an overbearing mother, and a job she hates but can’t quit because she inherited it from her late father. But now that her high school crush and brother’s best friend is back in town, all the old rules have flown out the window. Tech guru Mason Andrews swore he’d never return to the town that considered his mental neurospiciness a form of juvenile delinquency. But his much loved aunt’s illness has brought him back, and now that he’s created a billion-dollar business, he’s been given a rock star’s welcome by the same people who used to look down on him. All he has to do is follow the rules to remain the town’s new Golden Boy. But Mason never met a rule he didn’t want to break, and that might include falling in love with his best friend’s little sister. With the clock ticking on his time in Beaton, the woman who color codes her multi-tab plans and the man who thrives on chaos are going to have to learn how to bend if they want a chance at happily ever after. *~*~*~* Aided by her grumpy sexy handyman, Grace is trying to save her farm, but the goats and an amateur arsonist have other ideas.

The personal diaries of one of America’s best-loved naturalists, revealing his difficult and inspiring path to finding his voice and becoming a writer Few writers are as renowned for their eloquence about the natural world, its power and fragility, as Sigurd F. Olson (1899–1982). Before he could give expression to The Singing Wilderness, however, he had to find his own voice. It is this struggle, the painstaking and often simply painful process of becoming the writer and conservationist now familiar to us, that Olson documented in the journal entries gathered here. Written mostly during the years from 1930 to 1941, Olson’s journals describe the dreams and frustrations of an aspiring writer honing his skills, pursuing recognition, and facing doubt while following the academic career that allowed him to live and work even as it consumed so much of his time. But even as he speaks with immediacy and intensity about the conditions of his apprenticeship, Olson can be seen developing the singular way of observing and depicting the natural world that would bring him fame—and also, more significantly, alert others to the urgent need to understand and protect that world. Author of Olson’s definitive biography, editor David Backes brings a deep knowledge of the writer to these journals, providing critical context, commentary, and insights along the way. When Olson wrote, in the spring of 1941, “What I am afraid of now is that the world will blow up just as I am getting it organized to suit me,” he could hardly have known how right he would prove to be. It is propitious that at our present moment, when the world seems once more balanced on the precipice, we have the words of Sigurd F. Olson to remind us of what matters—and of the hard work and the wonder that such a reckoning requires.

A K-8 self-esteem curriculum for improving student achievement behavios and school climate.

Wildly arrogant, stunningly bombastic, and undeniably fascinating. This 1901 work-the masterpiece of an eclectic genius whose life encompassed medical science, mystical transcendence, and prospecting for gold-posits a higher form of sentience that only a few humans have ever achieved, among them Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Dante, William Blake, and the author himself, of course. As Bucke shares his metaphysical experience of the "cosmic consciousness" and offers evidence for the few instances in history of its occurrence ("it may as well be frankly stated at once that the view of the present editor is that Francis Bacon wrote the 'Shakespeare' plays and poems"), the reader may well be moved to throw this bizarre and highly intriguing book furiously across the room... if the reader can put it down at all, that is. Canadian mystic and doctor RICHARD MAURICE BUCKE (1837-1902) was a pioneer in the medical treatment of mental illness; his famous friendship with Walt Whitman was the subject of the 1992 movie Beautiful Dreamers. He also wrote Man's Moral Nature (1879) and an 1883 authorized biography of Whitman.

When Life Stood in Silence is an autobiography in Poetry which depicts a series of life’s events and the deep emotions experienced over many years. These poems express pains from love lost and desired, death, adversities, and a yearning to emerge from deep emotional distress, trauma, and depression. It tells of the writer’s turmoil, when life halted, and the need for solitude. Moreover, it highlights her daunting inability to relate anything from the world outside the soul except her own misery which laments from far crevices of the heart. It speaks of hope, strength, faith, and a call for help from one’s destructive thoughts. It’s where life’s purpose seems to have no voice and no longer speak to a battered soul; where no one seems to hear loud outcries for survival.
