Her success depended upon her ability to write like a man.'. catered habitually to the lowest and most depraved of human inclinations. furiously resented.' She was, as Felix Shelling said, 'a very gifted woman, compelled to write for bread in an age in which literature. for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds." Vita Sackville-West called Behn 'an inhabitant of Grub Street with the best of them. Woolf wrote, "All women together, ought to let flowers fall upon the grave of Aphra Behn. In author Virginia Woolf's reckoning, Behn's total career is more important than any particular work it produced. Along with Delarivier Manley and Eliza Haywood, she is sometimes referred to as part of "The fair triumvirate of wit." Her writing contributed to the amatory fiction genre of British literature. Aphra Behn was a prolific dramatist of the English Restoration and was one of the first English professional female writers. In other words, they’re working exactly how I work. However, they are now writing books, blog posts, and newsletters, and giving talks and hosting podcasts about their “retirement” - all activities that often generate income. A number of prominent voices in this community tout how they have “retired” at very early ages. I like this idea a lot more than much of the usual Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) literature. By keeping expenses low, aggressively growing your income, and investing, you will reach a point where you have a lot more options. But the idea is that once you start working, you should structure your life and finances so that after about 15 years, you’re mostly working because you want to, not because you have to. No, you don’t need to retire at age 37 (or in your mid-40s if you went to grad school). They also advanced this intriguing idea: You should think of your career as being about 15 years long. They offer various suggestions for building up savings and seeing that wealth grow through investing. I recently read (and mostly enjoyed) Julien and Kiersten Saunders’ personal finance book, Cashing Out. This book is one of very few I would put on a global must-read list. The book is easy-to-read, concise, and broken into many short chapters designed for busy folks who want to pick it up, crack it open, read for 2 minutes, get inspired, put it down and get back to work. From taking risks and making mistakes and failing gloriously in pursuit of something greater. What is Resistance? It’s the internal force that keeps you from showing us your best self. Its title is a clever play on Sun Tzu’s infamous work The Art of War, and its message can be boiled down to one simple idea: In order to do work that matters, one must understand and conquer the Resistance. In 2002 Steven Pressfield wrote The War of Art. What keeps us from sitting down is Resistance.” “There’s a secret that real writers know that wannabe writers don’t, and the secret is this: It’s not the writing part that’s hard. But when I took a spontaneous family weekend getaway myself, I downloaded a Kindle sample on a whim and couldn’t stop reading-which is exactly how it should be. I came across The Vacationers on a top ten list of books to read this summer, so naturally I snubbed it. This novel lifted my mood on an emotionally gloomy weekend and elicited multiple, genuine bouts of laughter within the first 100 pages. Like any group, not everyone is looking forward to spending time together: Sylvia wrestles with being a teen in the 21st century, Jim and Franny arrive at their thirty-fifth anniversary in anguish, Charles and Lawrence battle insecurity while soothing baby fever, and Bobby and Carmen discover the perils of lukewarm “love.” Despite their enviable display of plenty during an economic recession, the leisurely literary fiction plot is driven by vividly realistic relationship tensions. Middle-aged married couple Franny and Jim, 28-year-old Bobby, and 18-year-old Sylvia, along with Franny’s best friend, Charles, his husband, Lawrence, and Bobby’s unwelcome over-40 girlfriend, Carmen-vacation in Majorca for two weeks. In human agency, when God’s glory is encountered most fully.īarth and von Balthasar, despite getting much right about the glory of God, seem not toįollow out their intuition about the ‘overflow’ of God’s glory, neglecting to suggest that this glory createsĪnalogous ‘overflow’ of human agency (a human agency itself constituted and enabled by God). Rather, the fullness of the overflow of God’s glory correlates with an analogous ‘overflow’ I take it that divine and human agency are not inĬompetition in any way, and so God’s ‘overflow’ does not require the bracketing Talks about it as an overflow of self-giving love alongside these, I lift up the notion of God’s glory as an overflow Karl Barth talks about this glory as an overflow of joy Hans Urs von Balthasar Of God ‘overflows’ from God, from among the Three of the Trinity, into That follows begins with the notion that the glory The basic intuition which I elaborate in all Glory of God and Human Agency: An Introduction and Overview The writing is also lyrical and evocative, with vivid descriptions that bring the supernatural elements of the story to life.Īnother highlight of "Beautiful Chaos" is the character development. The authors have created a complex and fascinating mythology around Casters, with a detailed history and hierarchy that adds depth to the story. One of the strengths of this book is its richly imagined world-building. However, as they delve deeper into their mission, they uncover dark secrets and face unexpected challenges that test their relationship and their abilities as Casters. The plot of "Beautiful Chaos" picks up where the previous book left off, with Ethan and Lena trying to restore order to their town of Gatlin. This book continues the story of Ethan Wate and Lena Duchannes as they navigate the complicated and dangerous world of Casters. "Beautiful Chaos" by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl is the third book in the popular "Caster Chronicles" series.

When I first shared this post to document my experience with the Ken Forkish recipe for his Overnight Country Brown Bread, I was only baking bread during the winter months at much cooler temperatures. (Update, Please Read: Due to the unexpected popularity of this post since first publishing it in January 2018 I’ve updated this page to include a second printable recipe as an alternative to the book’s instructions for overnight bulk fermentation. There’s no kneading required to get full flavor that would beat any store-bought loaf. This sourdough bread recipe is as easy as it gets. Jump to Recipe Sourdough Bread, Ken Forkish Method Goofy, playful, and mischievous Ruby is fully dimensional, as she has shown her bravery during the many hardships of her young life. An elephant glossary and Castelao’s charming, illustrated guide to elephant body language help immerse readers in Ruby’s world. The unexpected arrival of someone from Ruby’s past life on the savanna revives memories both warmly nostalgic and deeply traumatic. Ruby was born in an unspecified part of Africa, later ending up on display in the mall, where she met Ivan, Bob, and Julia. Luckily, she can confide in her Uncle Ivan, who is next door in Gorilla World, and Uncle Bob, the dog who lives nearby with human friend Julia. She’s apprehensive about her Tuskday, a rite of passage for young elephants when she’ll give a speech in front of the rest of the herd. In this follow-up to 2020’s The One and Only Bob, Ruby the elephant is still living at Wildworld Zoological Park and Sanctuary. |
