Consensual Suicide

Mindstir Media Publishing — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 02:05:26 +0000

How did I get here? I mentioned the diets of most of us born in the south that consisted of pork, beef, chicken, turkey, fish and some wild game. These meats were cooked in lard for the most part or smoked. Desert was a mainstay in our home growing up, which consisted of massive amounts of sugar and lard for the crust of pies. Fat back or ham hocks were used in greens, and real butter in macaroni and cheese. This type of diet has little to no nutritional value because of the way they were prepared. With this type of toxic food consumption comes visits to the doctor. Why you ask? Because of the artery clotting meats and unhealthy fats we say we love and won't do without! Because of the excessive weight gain; which has become uncontrollable! Because of the inability to walk a flight of stairs without being completely winded! We make statements such as "My mother cooked this way and lived to be 90, therefore so can I", this is the attitude taken when someone else takes an interest in one's health. Here are some real facts about the consumption of meats and unhealthy fats, that's worth taken a closer look:

Man…F@#K!: The Honest Reality of Entrepreneurship

Mindstir Media Publishing — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 16:29:32 +0000

Man...F@#K! shares the honest and often unspoken reality of entrepreneurship while serving up a large dose of much-needed hope and inspiration to all business owners and entrepreneurs trying to take their companies to the next level. Unlike most other books on business, this book clearly defines the difficulties of life and the challenges of managing and building a brand from virtually nothing into a potential global company. It also accurately illustrates the struggles of working with a family business and the expectations of starting in a small market and what it takes to overcome those challenges and achieve personal and professional goals on a larger scale.

It's a fun, yet realistic story of what it takes to keep your head up in times of trial - when all you can think is Man...F@#K! out of frustration - in order to ultimately make your dreams a reality.

Conception: A Fertility Doctor’s Memoir

Mindstir Media Publishing — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 23:23:50 +0000

Conception - A Fertility Doctor's Memoir will describe the history of IVF and the world it made from someone who has been practicing since its earliest days. It will describe how Dr. Merle Berger first got interested in becoming a doctor, then an obstetrician and gynecologist and finally a specialist in reproductive medicine and infertility as well as a fierce woman's health care advocate. The book will give readers necessary perspective on where this medical technology came from and how quickly it has advanced, and it will lay out many of the ethical conundrums we will face in the coming decades. It will appeal to anyone who has considered IVF in the past 40 years, and those who wonder if they will ever need it in the future. It will also likely appeal to those who have reservations about assisted reproduction and how it has so dramatically moved a fundamental human act out of the bedroom and into the lab, even as it has stoked our fears about designer babies. Conception will help people to understand the headlines we read every day about egg-freezing technology and the way in which celebrities over 45 get pregnant. (Hint: they use donor eggs.) It will make readers fluent in the technologies that will shape reproduction in the coming decades. It will more fully trace the way in which sex was decoupled from reproduction in the 20th century, and it will outline how reproduction might be separated from eggs and sperm in the near future.

What lies ahead is thrilling to contemplate and even a little bit frightening. But when we have context for these discussions, readers will be able to make the choices that are best for them.

Out of the Field: A Memoir

Mindstir Media Publishing — Mon, 16 Sep 2019 12:21:38 +0000

The author’s early life was a twisted path of physical, sexual and verbal abuse so he anesthetized himself with alcohol and drugs to hide the pain. Later in life, he learned to forgive those who abused him only to discover his own body was his worst enemy as he endured 34 surgeries, often praying to die. Read his inspirational story.

LARRY A. LEE’S JOURNEY TO CLAIM HIS SOUL began at seven years old when he chose to defend his mother against his alcoholic father’s physical abuse in Unionville, Connecticut. Three years later, his mother passed away from infectious hepatitis. Before her passing, Larry promised his mother he would grow up to be a “Good Man.”

Since the age of ten, life undoubtedly threw itself against Larry time and time again. All forms of unspeakable torments and challenges made up his adolescence in Burlington, Connecticut. At eighteen years old, while he was living in a field in Oklahoma City, a single act of kindness saved him, and it forever changed his life.

And so it was, his journey of ten million miles to keep the promise he made his mother led him to a seven-year-old boy, who adopted him. Larry held love in his hand, and then he conquered his world.
