À la mémoire de John KennedyMon premier souvenir est celui du sénateur John Fitzgerald Kennedy de l'époque, lors de la convention sur la démocratie en juillet 1956. Après la convention, mon intérêt pour la politique a repris pour moi.Mon second souvenir est de lui en tant que candidat à l'investiture démocrate à la présidence. H semblait être une bouffée d'air frais par rapport aux chiffres nationaux que j'avais vus à la télévision et dont j'avais lu beaucoup dans les journaux.J'étais enthousiasmé et fier de mon parti et inspiré par cet homme qui, à mon avis, serait le prochain président et mon nouveau commandant en chef. Sa mort fut vraiment l'un des moments les plus marquants de ma vie, mais son inspiration vit toujours en moi.

The book explores the dynamics of correct weight management by any person with weight issues to start owning up to the fact a person is fat because at some level they want to be fat. Until that cycle is broken by owning up to this desire, there is no chance of realistic success that is permanent. Being on a weight loss diet your whole life is not an answer. Once the pattern to "need" to be fat is broken, weight loss and weight management is easy and becomes a non-issue.

Une simple réponse de remerciement semble inadéquate lorsque vous recevez un acte de gentillesse. Mon épouse, Elsie, handicapée par une chute à l'âge de 75 ans, a reçu une telle attention lorsqu'elle s'est approchée d'une porte ou avait besoin d'une aide quelconque. Nous avons souvent demandé ce qui pourrait être dit de plus pour rendre les remerciements plus significatifs. Après sa mort en 2015, j'ai rassemblé certaines de nos pensées et les ai présentées dans ce livre. Il propose des idées et des anecdotes sur les moyens d'aller au-delà de la réponse ordinaire.Se souvenir des effets d'une ondulation dans l'eau qui fait la même chose avec nos mots, qui ont le pouvoir de vie ou de mort. Tout comme notre écho, ce que nous disons et comment nous agissons nous revient sous une forme similaire. Transmettre l'acte de gentillesse génère de la bonne volonté et procure des avantages d'encouragement, de confiance en soi et de joie, sachant que vous avez aidé quelqu'un comme vous avez été aidé. Lire sur notre voyage répondra à la question, est-ce que je te dis merci?

When Norberto Vega Castro moved his family to the Mexican countryside, in the town of Tamazunchale, he often wondered how most of the modest town's residents supported their high standard of living. Rumors abound that most of the town's rich families had gotten their wealth from finding treasure buried by the rebels during the Mexican Revolution in the early nineteen hundreds. The townsfolk also talked in hushed voices about how those who found the treasures had to pay a hefty price: they sold their souls to the devil, whom local treasure seekers referred to as El Compadre, the possessor of the hoarded wealth. For a time he was content to listen to the stories. Until he started finding strange buried objects near his property with his is a metal detector. This is a true story of a once-devout Christian who, drawn in by the prospect of digging up his own pot of gold, finds himself immersed in the occult and pretty soon fighting for his soul and sanity as he works with shamans and witch doctors and their black magic to strike a deal with El Compadre that will allow him to unearth vast fortunes.
