Joey Moss first became known to many Canadians because of his work with the NHL Edmonton Oilers hockey team. Joey loved connecting with people. Whether he was singing "Oh Canada" on a jumbotron screen at a hockey game, welcoming a new friend with a playful wrestling match, or dancing on a runway for a charity fashion show, Joey loved making people feel good. But his impact and influence started long before he joined the Oilers. Joey was born with Down syndrome at a time when many children like him were institutionalized. Instead, Joey lived at home, surrounded by his supportive family who was determined that he should receive the same opportunities as others. From this loving environment grew a caring, energetic man who went on to show the world that people like him could do many things and contribute greatly to society. The inspiring true story of Joey Moss, a champion for all to have an opportunity to live a full, purposeful life, comes alive in this heartwarming picture book for young readers.

Native American & Pioneer Sites of Upstate New York: Westward Trails from Albany to Buffalo

Native American & Pioneer Sites of Upstate New York: Westward Trails from Albany to Buffalo

Lorna Czarnota

History Press Library Editions
2014
sidottu
Prior to the Revolutionary War, everything west of Albany was wilderness. Safer travel and the promise of land opened this frontier. The interaction between European settlers and Native Americans transformed New York, and the paths they walked still bear the footprints of their experiences, like the shrine to Kateri Tekakwitha in Fonda. Industry and invention flourished along these routes, as peace sparked imagination, allowing for art and the freedom to explore new ideologies, some inspired by Native American culture. The Latter Rain Movement took hold in the heart of the Burned-Over District. Utopian communities and playgrounds for the wealthy appeared and vanished; all that remains of the Oneida Community is its Mansion House. Follow New York's westward trails--the Erie Canal and Routes 5 and 20--that opened the west to the United States, beginning in Albany and moving westward to Buffalo.

Born of glaciers and turbulent waters, wars and struggles of native peoples, Niagara was powered by the dreams of men and women seeking refuge in a new land. Yet for all its rare beauty and rugged pioneering spirit, the Niagara region has sometimes drifted into shadows, affording its seedier citizens the cover they needed to do their dastardly deeds. A plot to invade Canada, a Mafia stronghold, madness, murder and savagery all lie hidden in the region's past. From the blood-soaked grounds of battle, local storyteller Lorna MacDonald Czarnota brings Wicked Niagara and grim tales of the region's early struggles into the light.

Lorna Freckleton, PhD, had a passion for God that knew no bounds. She met a man with the same desire to do the Lord's work, and they fell madly in love, winning souls and growing their ministry. But even evangelists are susceptible to temptation. Lorna's husband cheated on her and divorced her. Lorna was shocked; from her perspective, the betrayal had come out of nowhere. Her husband's love and the shared spiritual journey of marriage weren't all that Lorna lost. After the split, Lorna had next to nothing. She lived out of her truck, which she searched for enough coins to buy some fast food. She lived in hunger and in fear of hunger; she was even turned away by the food pantry. More hurtful-and more personal-was the rejection she faced from old friends she thought she could count on. Instead of supporting Lorna through this difficult time, these "friends" turned out to be enemies who mocked and gossiped about her. But God had better things in store for Lorna. The betrayal she suffered was only one rocky mile in the path she walked with him, and the way to a more joyful life was ahead.

Housekeeping for the Soul: Love, Cleanse and Protect Your Spiritual Self

Housekeeping for the Soul: Love, Cleanse and Protect Your Spiritual Self

Lorna Hedges

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
Housekeeping For The Soul was inspired by a lady seeking guidance on behalf of a friend, a friend who was unwell, emotionally drained and physically sick. Lorna felt that this was almost certainly a result of working with 'bad energy'. Our wellbeing extends beyond the body itself and can go off-balance through repeated misuse of energy, by not protecting and 'housekeeping' our subtle body, the energy field surrounding our physical body. Lorna realised that if people wanted to be able to achieve a healthy mind/body balance, and hence lead a happier and healthier life, there was a need for more widespread understanding of how to protect oneself from negative energy and achieve energetic balance. Having already learned how to clear her own subtle energy field, or 'Aura', and her energy centres, or 'Chakras', it was clear that sharing this knowledge in book form would reach the audience who needed it most.Although never intending to write another book after sharing her personal story in From Housewife to Psychic, with several nudges from spirit Lorna began to realise that people were in need of guidance. Specifically how to live life comfortably and in harmony with their inner selves, without the 'negatives' gate-crashing into their lives uninvited and taking centre-stage.In Housekeeping For The Soul, Lorna steps beyond her personal story and instead shares all that she has learned, from her one-to-one psychic readings and Reiki healing, to her numerous workshops. This is a book that will facilitate spiritual empowerment and Self-development, and will bring greater understanding of others. The reader will come away better understanding how to protect themselves and their loved ones, and retake the reins of their own life. "Energy is vibration, it is light, it is sound, and we are all responsible for our own energy and the influence of that which surrounds us. To live harmoniously, the negatives must be removed if there is to be any chance of allowing love and light to come flooding into your life and, in turn, enriching your life in the process".Housekeeping For The Soul has all the charm of From Housewife to Psychic, Lorna has created a balance between using straightforward language to make this knowledge accessible to all but with enough depth to maintain the interest of readers already well advanced down a spiritual path.

Small Beneath the Sky

Small Beneath the Sky

Lorna Crozier

Greystone Books,Canada
2011
pokkari
Small Beneath the Sky is a tender, unsparing portrait of a family. It is also a book about place. Growing up in a small prairie city, where the local heroes were hockey players and curlers, Lorna Crozier never once dreamed of becoming a writer. Nonetheless, the grace, wisdom, and wit of her poetry have won her international acclaim. In this marvellous volume of recollections, she charts the geography that has shaped her character and her sense of home. Crozier vividly depicts her hometown of Swift Current, with its one main street, its two high schools-the one on top of the hill was for the wealthy kids - and its three beer parlours, where her father spent most of his evenings. She captures crystal moments from her childhood - delivering newspapers with her brother in the blue-snow light of a winter morning, planting potatoes under a pale full moon, enjoying an illicit night swim in the town's public pool. She writes unflinchingly, too, about the grief and shame caused by poverty and alcoholism. At the heart of the book is Crozier's fierce love for her mother, Peggy, her no-nonsense champion and moral guide. The people in these pages are drawn simply, without adornment, as befits the landscape in which they live. Interspersed with the narratives of daily life - sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking - are prose poems evoking the elements. These "first causes" - dust, light, rain, wind, snow-take on mythical qualities in Crozier's sure hands, imparting ancient knowledge about the prairie grasslands and their effect on those who have put down stakes there. Rich in detail, generous in spirit, this unconventional memoir pays tribute to life's mysteries, secrets, and surprises. Lorna Crozier approaches the past with a tactile, arms-wide-open sense of discovery. Calling on the ghosts of ancestors and the power of memory, she has traced her beginnings with a poet's precision and an open heart.

Enright, Konrad Boehmer, Mahmoud Aboudoma, Bridge Markland, Andreas Gössling, and Uschi Flacke.
