Book Description
Take a Moment was created to bring joy and healing to others through words and photos that have continued to be uplifting, inspiring, and meaningful to me during my cancer recovery and healing. My husband, after my surgery eleven years ago, would craft a daily message for me to keep me focused on my healing. Each consisted of a picture, a quote, and a short affirmative summary upon which I started my day. Whether before driving to the office, before traveling, or before starting up my computer from home, he gifted me with his inspiring thoughts. I created binders of all his creations so I could occasionally go through them, several at a time, to feel his love and his positive affirming words. I also thought that someday I would do something with them. They became my inspiration for Take a Moment. Knowing how much I benefited from these daily reflections, I knew that others would too. So if you are feeling overwhelmed, challenged in your personal or professional life, have a tendency towards negative thinking, or just need to reset your balance, let Take a Moment bring you that uplifting, positive nourishment for your mind, body, and spirit. Just take a moment to be inspired, be enlivened, be nourished, be at peace, be happy, be rejuvenated, be in the moment, be grateful, be thankful, be appreciative. With healing love, Karen

Book Description
Once my viewpoint becomes their viewpoint my personal perspective of the situation changes. The stories in Dear Caregiver: Take a Moment and Walk with Me are based on my personal experiences with Katherine, a woman in her seventies, who lives with the physical and mental disabilities caused by Lewy Body Dementia. During a five-year time period as her caregiver, I recorded each treasured moment within twenty-four hours after each event occurred. Katherines words and expressions remain fresh in my mind despite the passing of the years. As a new, part-time caregiver for my mother who was diagnosed with Alzheimers nearly three years ago, Take a Moment and Walk with Me is a true blessing and inspiration. This book of devotions is an excellent guide for anyone who is taking this journey for the first time. These devotions have made my heart lighter as I start each day wondering what special moment God will bless me with my mother, instead of facing each day with a heavy heart. -Selena Freeland- Memories! This book will touch your heart and soul! As a past and current caregiver, these memories bring back so many of my memories! Currently, I am taking care of my dad in his journey through Parkinsons and Dementia. This book has uplifted me to find a special memory every day of this journey. Knowing there is A Bible verse out there to highlight each memory is such a blessing. I encourage all caregivers to let this book lift you up before, during or after your journey. Let these words and Bible verses give you peace, encouragement, and strength. -Janet Sisko- My mom has lived with us for 14 years and her mind has been failing her for the past three. As I read Karens devotional, I first realized how every day is written so well that you feel like you are right there with them. Many situations are very similar to what I face with my mom. I am so amazed at how compassionate Karen is and how she has such a sense of how Katherine thinks and feels. She also gives caregivers practical ways to assist and care for our loved ones. This devotional is very helpful and inspirational for any caregiver and the Bible verses give us a glimpse of God in any situation. -Linda Corner-

But Eliza isn't going to sit around and wait for answers. She and the rest of the Sunrise Suspense Society—brilliant producer Annabelle Murphy, cameraman extraordinaire B.J.

The Aha! Moment

Author: David Jones
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421404060
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 380

Book Description
This book is about having ideas and—a much longer haul—making them work. David Jones, best known for his Daedalus column, tells a multitude of stories about creators and their creations, including his own fantastical-seeming contributions to mainstream science such as the unrideable bicycle and chemical gardens in space. His theory of creativity endows each of us with a Random-Ideas Generator, a Censor, and an Observer-Reasoner. Jones applies his theory to a wide range of weird scientific experiments that he has conducted for serious scientific papers, for challenging printed expositions, and for presentations to a TV audience. He even suggests new ones, not yet tried! Creativity is as essential to science as curiosity, physical intuition, and shrewd deduction from well-planned experiments. But, says Jones, ingenuity is very uncertain. Even for the greatest inventors, about 80 percent of ideas fail. Jokiness can help, and so can lots of random data. Jones has plenty of clever advice that will help spark that madly brilliant private thought in the first place—and will encourage you to take it further. Neither dense nor demanding, The Aha! Moment is engrossing, edifying, and scientifically serious; yet it is lightly written and asks lots of silly questions. As Jones shows, it can often pay to take an absurd idea seriously.

The Moment It Clicks

Languages : en
Pages : 636

Book Description
THE FIRST BOOK WITH ONE FOOT ON THE COFFEE TABLE, AND ONE FOOT IN THE CLASSROOM Joe McNally, one of the world’s top pro digital photographers, whose celebrated work has graced the pages of Sports Illustrated, Time, and National Geographic (to name a few), breaks new ground by doing something no photography book has ever done—blending the rich, stunning images and elegant layout of a coffee-table book with the invaluable training, no-nonsense insights, and photography secrets usually found only in those rare, best-of-breed educational books. When Joe’s not on assignment for the biggest-name magazines and Fortune 500 clients, he’s in the classroom teaching location lighting, environmental portraiture, and how to “get the shot” at workshops around the world. These on-location workshops are usually reserved for a handful of photographers each year, but now you can learn the same techniques that Joe shares in his seminars and lectures in a book that brings Joe’s sessions to life. What makes the book so unique is the “triangle of learning” where (1) Joe distills the concept down to one brief sentence. It usually starts with something like, “An editor at National Geographic once told me...” and then he shares one of those hard-earned tricks of the trade that you only get from spending a lifetime behind the lens. Then, (2) on the facing page is one of Joe’s brilliant images that perfectly illustrates the technique (you’ll recognize many of his photos from magazine covers). And (3) you get the inside story of how that shot was taken, including which equipment he used (lens, f/stop, lighting, accessories, etc.), along with the challenges that type of project brings, and how to set up a shot like that of your own. This book also gives you something more. It inspires. It challenges. It informs. But perhaps most importantly, it will help you understand photography and the art of making great photos at a level you never thought possible. This book is packed with those “Ah ha!” moments—those clever insights that make it all come together for you. It brings you that wonderful moment when it suddenly all makes sense—that “moment it clicks.”

The Click Moment

Author: Frans Johansson
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 110160140X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 285

Book Description
In the story of every great company and career, there is one defining moment when luck and skill collide. This book is about making that moment happen. According to Frans Johansson’s research, successful people and organizations show a common theme. A lucky moment occurs and they take advantage of it to change their fate. Consider how Diane von Furstenberg saw Julie Nixon Eisenhower on TV wearing a matching skirt and top, and created the timeless, elegant wrap-dress. That was a “click moment” of unexpected opportunity. Johansson uses stories from throughout history to illustrate the specific actions we can take to create more click moments, place lots of high-potential bets, open ourselves up to chance encounters, and harness the complex forces of success that follow.
