The reader may ask, How did you get here or through? The tragic nature of the event on which this memoir sprang in 1951, the multiple relocations from my birth village to the second and third villages, the weeks and months spent in boarding schools in Bas-Congo from age five to twenty, while spending vacation days in villages and towns, all sharpened my sense of observation and reflection. Therefore, my brain got me here and through. Moreover, this book documents my life which, like a cotton thread made of tiny pieces of fiber, exceptionally passes through the eye of the needle. The nineteen chapters elaborate on and share certain reasons and ways of acting: walking on the sides of family members or kins who believed in conforming to and respecting ancestral and clanic traditions; working with teachers in Kikongo, my first language, French, my almost first language, and later, English, my third language, during pre- and post-Congolese independence; putting in ninety-five percent of academic perspiration and relying on five percent of inspiration; adapting to life circumstances, and last but not least, depending on Christian beliefs and sense of cooperation.

69 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 52min.
This book helps you be your own best friend and live the life your soul craves. Taking care of ourselves in order to prevent burnout is paramount to our sense of balance and well-being. However, we often make decisions in order to take care of others and do what’s expected of us even when that requires us to become overwhelmed. People who are in a care giving role or who have a profession that involves helping others know this well. They often put their own needs aside in order to be there for family or their clients. Additionally, our culture puts a lot of pressure on us to constantly reach greater levels of success. We are conditioned to think our value comes from how much we have achieved and this can keep us continually striving for the next big thing. But life doesn’t have to be that way. You deserve to unwind and live a life that meets your deepest needs. This book supports you in doing exactly that.

Once upon a time, Uri and Char Stoltzfus led seemingly charmed lives. Uri was a legendary Army sharpshooter, Char, his wife, a decorated Navy Public Affairs Officer. They had a happy marriage and two healthy daughters. Then came the day when a mysterious sniper gunned down Uri on the grounds of a Buddhist temple in Japan. Uri was killed, or so the word went out. Fast forward a quarter of a century. Uri still lives, although he, Char, and their daughters must deal with the terrible effects of that single misfired bullet. In addition, Uri and Char have recently retired. They are adjusting to the finicky rules and regulations of the senior community into which they have just moved, when characters from the past reenter their lives and force a reckoning long in the making in the lives of all four family members.

Currently there are so many outside influences affecting our kiddos and their way of thinking about themselves and the world around them. Many are intrigued by what they see on social media and hear on the radio. Some of the outlooks and perceptions they could perceive from entertainers is not always what we would want them to consider "REAL LIFE" ways of thinking or living. Young girls must know that just because it seems acceptable to wear less, talk about things that should not be discussed in public and carry themselves provocatively it is not. Also instead of idolizing entertainers that do, there are positive influences in the world that are truly QUEENS and should be considered in the making up of their minds.
