Book excerpt: Just Maria is the story of Maria Romero, a blind sixth-grader who is trying her hardest to be normal. Not amazing. Not inspiring. Not helpless. Not weird. Just normal. Normal is hard enough with her white cane, glass eyes, and bumpy books, but Maria's task is complicated by her neighbor and classmate JJ Munson, an asthmatic overweight oddball known in the halls of Marble City Middle as a double-dork paste-eater. When JJ draws Maria into his latest hare-brained scheme--a series of public challenges to prove their worth as gumshoes for his Twinnoggin Detective Agency--she fears she's lost her last chance to go unnoticed. When a young girl goes missing on the streets of Marble City, Maria's new-found confidence is tested in ways she never anticipated. Use your cane and your brain, and figure it out . . . Aimed at middle-grade readers, Just Maria explores difference and disability without resorting to the saccharine and engages universal themes about the price of popularity and the meaning of independence.

Book Synopsis Just Who Will You Be? by : Maria Shriver

Download or read book Just Who Will You Be? written by Maria Shriver. This book was released on 2008-04-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I've learned that asking ourselves not just what we want to be, but who we want to be is important at every stage of our lives, not just when we're starting out in the world. That's because in a way, we're starting out fresh in the world every single day." Just Who Will You Be is a candid, heartfelt, and inspirational book for seekers of all ages. Inspired by a speech she gave, Maria Shriver's message is that what you do in your life isn't what matters. It's who you are. It's an important lesson that will appeal to anyone of any age looking for a life of meaning. In her own life, Shriver always walked straight down her own distinctive path, achieving her childhood goal of becoming "award-winning network newswoman Maria Shriver". But when her husband was elected California's Governor and she suddenly had to leave her job at NBC News, Maria was thrown for a loop. Right about then, her nephew asked her to speak at his high school graduation. She resisted, wondering how she could possibly give advice to kids, when she was feeling so lost herself. But in the end she relented and decided to dig down and dig deep, and the result is this little jewel. Just Who Will You Be reminds us that the answer to many of life's question lie within -- and that we're all works in progress. That means it's never too late to become the person you want to be. Now the question for you is this: Just who will you be?

Book excerpt: The Time: 1073 AD The Place: Gibraltar We enter a time where every human has a 'Shadow, ' who appears in animal form. Through them, we can uncover our limiting beliefs, integrate, and love our wounds to transform and step into the authentic nature of our beings. *** On the night of the December full moon, Akasha is grieving the loss of her first love, Raoul, and has a fateful meeting with a life-changing being. A vision leaves her confused, having been told that she holds a great destiny, when all she really wants is to hold onto her sanity. Tariq enters her life and her world is further upturned. How can she be so enraptured by him when she is still grieving Raoul? They learn of the Crown Jewels and how if used correctly, they have the ability to completely transform the world. Akasha and Tariq soon realize that their destiny is much larger than themselves; a combined mission to bridge the divide that exists between the Worlds of Light and Dark. But are they willing to do the work and inner alchemy to dive back into the ancient ways? Are they willing to ultimately be brave enough to step into their destiny? *** Crown Jewels: The Akasha Records is designed to go hand-in-hand with a 30 day Series called 30 Days of Authenticity. Each day of the 30-day series holds an "Akasha Record" with the goal of allowing you to individually go through Akasha's journey. The idea is to get to know and embrace your own Shadow and love all of who you are, just as you are. Launching in August 2020, you can find out more here: https: //iam.intentioninspired.com
