That is RuPaul's secret for success, not only in show business, but in all aspects of life, especially in navigating the emotional landmines that inhibit most sweet, sensitive souls. FYI: most people are not willing to hear or accept that. And who we really are is an extension of the power that created the universe (aka: God in drag). Throughout the history of humans on this planet, there've always been shaman, seers, and mediums who are able to interpret both high and low frequencies and remind humans to look beyond the surface for the truth of who we really are. Once you're willing to look beyond the identity that was given to you, a hidden world of possibilities will open its doors. This unique perspective has allowed RuPaul to break the shackles of self-imposed limitations, but reader beware, this is a daily practice that requires diligence and touchstones to keep you walking in the sunshine of the spirit. "You're born naked and the rest is drag." As someone who has deconstructed life's hilarious facade, RuPaul has broken "the fourth wall" to expand on the concept of mind, body, and spirit. GuRu is packed with more than 80 beautiful photographs that illustrate the concept of building the life you want from the outside in and the inside out. FOREWORD BY JANE FONDA A timeless collection of philosophies from renaissance performer and the world's most famous shape-shifter RuPaul, whose sage outlook has created an unprecedented career for more than thirty-five years. Although not a vampire herself, she confesses to having pale skin, wearing a lot of black, and sleeping in late whenever possible. Jeaniene Frost, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author, lives with her husband and their very spoiled dog in Florida. And no matter how hard she tries to keep things professional between them, she'll find that desire lasts forever and that Bones won't let her get away again. But a price on her head-wanted: dead or half-alive-means her survival depends on teaming up with Bones. But when Cat is targeted for assassination, the only man who can help her is the vampire she left behind.īeing around him awakens all her emotions, from the adrenaline kick of slaying vamps side by side to the reckless passion that consumed them. She's still using everything Bones, her sexy and dangerous ex, taught her. Half-vampire Cat Crawfield is now Special Agent Cat Crawfield, working for the government to rid the world of the rogue undead. You can run from the grave, but you can't hide. I found her outlook exceedingly naive and couldn't credit the patriotism Breslin meant to express in her character. Heroine Grace Mabry struck me as a holier than thou, self-righteous, goody two shoes. There's no depth to the story, the themes lack complexity, and there is absolutely no atmospheric detail to be had. My sincere apologies for any offense my blunt assessment might inspire, but I found the narrative shallow, unconvincing, predictable, and preachy. I'm sorry folks, but I honestly feel I wasted my time on this piece. I don't know your name, but without your efforts, I'd have next to no positive commentary to offer on Kate Breslin's Not by Sight. Kudos to the Bethany House cover artist who designed this jacket. The author also includes studies about drinking in tribes after the arrival of Europeans and how coal miners relied on whisky to purge their lungs of the deadly black soot. Eventually, she is able to stop drinking and tries to distance herself from her love, Carl, because a relationship with him is toxic. Washuta proceeds to drown in her alcoholism and tries to use drinking to remove her memories of frequent assaults, rape, and other pain. She searches for a D.A.R.E video containing the songs “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins and “Little Lies” by Fleetwood Mac. The first essay, "Little Lies," focuses on Washuta’s years of drinking and the pain she has faced. She wants love more than anything and hopes she can find out the truth about herself in her wounds. She thinks that she asked for the assaults because she chose her body before she was born and does not feel safe. However, she struggles with severe PTSD and is unable to find a therapist who can help her process the abuse she dealt with in the past. She is part of the Cowlitz tribe and quit drinking to focus on spells and her ancestors. The introduction describes the narrator, Elissa Washuta’s love of magic. The following version of this novel was used in the creation of this study guide: Washuta, Elissa. Publisher, inventor, educator, and statesman, Benjamin Franklin was a complex and appealing character. With a New Introduction by Walter Isaacson and an Afterword by Carla Mulford Additional writings from Benjamin Franklins wife and son provide a more intimate portrait of the husband and father who became a legend in his own time. Through the words of the elder statesman himself, The Autobiography and Other Writings presents a remarkable insight into the man and his accomplishments. During his long life, he offered advice on attaining wealth, organized public institutions, contributed to the birth of a nation, and negotiated with foreign powers to ensure his countrys survival. One of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, Benjamin Franklin was a true Renaissance man: writer, publisher, scientist, inventor, diplomat, and politician.

In addition, the heroes in this trope have a substantial power differential, which is an added challenge to making the relationship work. Like enemies to lovers stories, the challenge is to take men in what is essentially an adversarial relationship and make them fall in love. There is something about that power dynamic that is so fascinating. Master/slave is a trope I don’t read that often, but one I find I really like.

While it is cited in early works important to the field, it is less frequently cited than one might expect moreover, these citations are rarely substantive, often remaining restricted to his definition of gameplay as "the voluntary attempt to overcome unnecessary obstacles." This paper responds to this general disregard by highlighting the productive ambiguities of the text, particularly with regard to the relationship between games and society. His landmark book, The Grasshopper: Games, Life and Utopia, is rigorous but playful, offering a series of definitions, parables and puzzles on its way to a quixotic conclusion concerning the relationship of play to the good life. Reconsidering The Grasshopper: On the Reception of Bernard Suits in Game Studies by Liam Mitchell Abstractīernard Suits can be counted alongside the likes of Johan Huizinga and Roger Caillois as one of the progenitors of game studies.
