Описание:
Born in 1942 under a bridge in a small war-torn village in southern Italy, Teresa Renda spent the first 17 years of her life searching for the truth of how she came into the world--a secret that no one in her village would speak of--while navigating the only universe she knew: one of bombings, soldiers, famine, and terror, but also one filled with the joys and simple pleasures of tight-knit communal life, with its ceremonial feasts and ritual processions, wine making and olive oil pressing, set against a lyrically painted scenic backdrop. Just before leaving her little village for a new world in Canada at age 17, Teresa finally discovers the gut-wrenching circumstances of her birth, a secret of her own that she would carry onto the harrowing transatlantic journey, and for decades to come.

Описание:
After losing her father in 1966, Teresa's grief was soon coupled with a newfound liberation from the oppressive patriarchal traditions of the Old World. Now free to date to her young heart's content, Teresa discovers that with liberation also comes the chore of breaking hearts. In this third, often comedic chapter of the Oddyssey trilogy, the author must contend with suitor after suitor who won't take goodbye for an answer-even after she's met the love of her life, whom she ends up marrying after only six encounters. It's a love story for the books. The young couple must spend their first wedded years in Fort Knox, Kentucky, where Thomas is stationed during the Vietnam War. Under the constant threat of the daily levy sending more troops to the front lines, and her attendant flashbacks to World War II, Teresa's days are nevertheless lightened by family visits, road trips, and the magical powers of a chili dog. Soon after settling down in Michigan, the family of two turns into three, but on the heels of jubilation lurks a tempest.

Описание: Dominique Renda and Blake Horsley's Midnight Daydreams invites the reader on a journey through breathtaking and heartfelt landscapes of lives both recognizable and unforeseen. The authors' candid poetic portraits offer compelling characters, and represent a deep slice of life, of crystallizing moments, realizations, and dreams lost and found. Witty, heartbreaking, and inspiring, these poems affirm our humanity and rouse our spirit. Tales of a mother's feelings for her children, undying and impossible to suppress, a son's independent voice, a spry woman's inquisitive perspective on time, an exhausted man's effort to reclaim it, veterans of war and adjustments, explorations of values and redemption, and the insight and passion of a creative life. Dominique Renda and Blake Horsley engage the reader in a conscious exploration of characters and poetic stories that bring us home. Excerpt from "Seated," in Midnight Daydreams, by Dominique Renda: "...'This is it, ' you say to me, and the rustic room falls away, and the sounds cease to carry, the patrons change to shadows, and the light shines on truth, the aged wood walls listen while sweet molasses steam pulls back in, and I am old, old in a moment, framed in time and stuck to the leather bench marking the day I sat down to say goodbye to you. And in quiet mind, I wonder. How does time trade passion for passage, and the journey for a mere view? The heavy doors open, a couple enters to place their order, a family exits with a bag of what's left. 'History creates expectation, ' you say to me, your voluntary mother offering involuntary farewell, 'and expectation makes it so.'" Editorial Reviews Review "Transportive poetry. A moving collection. Truth and wonder artistically expressed in each character's authentic voice." -Neal Menschel, Poet, Photojournalist "A certain shared perspective...each poem revealing both something about the subject as an individual and often as a part of a family, unique, yet related." -Stephanie Newsom, Poet, Composer, Therapist About the Authors As poet, author, and fine art photographer, Dominique Renda's distinctive written and visual images capture the purity and presence of the human condition.

Описание: Turn off screentime and come back to earth with this family mindfulness guidebook from Chippewa clinical psychologist Renda Dionne Madrigal, PhD, and reconnect with your family through time-honored mindfulness and Indigenous practices and respect for the natural world. Family life can be chaotic and messy, and we easily forget what matters most for our health and happiness: the spirit and wellness that have sustained our ancestors and our entire human family for as long as we've existed on the planet, as Renda Dionne Madrigal puts it. If we, as parents, aren't present with our children, they get their values from peer culture, advertising, and social media instead of the family stories, personal dreams, and ancestral instincts we all have as treasures within ourselves to share. Drawing on indigenous circle practice for communication, The Mindful Family Guidebook provides a deep-rooted guide for a family that grows with a sense of purpose and belonging. Whether you have young children or teens, cultivating authentic connection with each other and the natural world is vital for your mental and emotional health, and this book shows you how--with more than 80 fun and profound activities you can do as a family.
