The Most Awesome Biography
As an old broad, I am allowed to use an old picture. I am a sixty-three year old widow of thirty four years, with no children and a house full of cats and one dog.
I grew up in dry cleaning and decided that was not what I wanted to do. It stinks; it’s hot and steamy all day and year long.
In 1974 I got a degree from Ambassador Hotel and Restaurant Institute and managed motels for years until I was disabled at the age of 45. I was still young and couldn't’t understand that my life was no longer what it was.
So I started writing books. Books on ‘how-to’ grew into encyclopedias and dictionaries. I have had my articles published in religious papers and have written a number of other articles for the local newspaper.
The Chamber of Commerce found out that I like to do research and used me anytime that something needs to be found for some program they were doing; i.e. downtown renovated with new streets and they wanted the history of downtown streets and businesses [our streets were brick].
Our church is having its 80th anniversary this coming week and was ‘volunteered‘ to do the history of the church and its pastors. Microfiche is not easy to read and the way they did newspapers years ago is so much different than now.
I am taking marketing courses to open avenues on marketing my books without an agent or publisher. I know that there are a number of ways that this can be done but I would like to know some of the other tricks of the trade. The way a cover will jump out at consumers is just one of many options.
Some of the books that I have written are: How-to Build an A-frame; Encyclopedia of Plants; Encyclopedia of Almost Organic Gardening; Dictionary of the Bible; and History of the Bible.
As you can see I like research. Some of these books are almost 2000 pages long with out the Table of Contents or

    At the age of 15 in 1380, I became a wife to Etienne du Castel (Christine de Pizan, Xenophongroup.com). My late husband was a scholar and court secretary. I believe I was very lucky with Etienne because he allowed me to continue with my studies (Christine de Pizan, Pinn.net). However, life became very difficult when the French king, Charles V died in 1380. My father’s job was gone and he received very little income until his death in 1387. As if that wasn’t hard enough to deal with, in 1390, at the age of 25, I became a widow when Etienne died of the plague. (Christine de Pizan, Pinn.net) (Christine de Pizan, Xenophongroup.com).…

    In the essay “Be Cool to the Pizza Dude,” author Sarah Adams explains how being cool to the pizza dude will essentially result in good karma in the future. First, she gives the first principle saying that being cool to the pizza dude is a “practice in humility and forgiveness”. The author goes on to illustrate a situation of how the pizza guy cut her off, didn’t blinker, etc. while zooming passed her. Next, she reinforces her belief by saying the pizza dude brings everyone together. In Principle 2, she says that it is a “practice in empathy”. Then, she explains how everyone has taken jobs just for the money. Adams metaphorically compares life to a pizza by saying “In the big pizza wheel of life, sometimes you’re the hot bubbly cheese and sometimes you’re the burnt crust” (“Be Cool to the Pizza Dude” 1). Principle 3 is a “practice in honor”. She presents that pizza delivery guys aren’t CEO’s or anything like that. Lastly, Principle 4 is a “practice in equality”. The author explains everyone is equal because of the kindness in our hearts. To conclude, Adams suggests being nice to the pizza dude, because good karma will return.…

    I was then thirty-five and I had been a widower for the past twelve years. I had no taste at all for social life and, although in good general health, was prone to occasional nervous illnesses and conditions, as a result of the experiences I will come to relate. Truth to tell, I was growing old well before my time, a sombre, pale-complexioned man with a strained expression – a dull dog.…

    My name is Hanan Hassan, and I was born in September 21, 1992 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I am the eldest of nine children that consist of four girls including me and five boys. To most people I am an ordinary twenty- one year old who works and goes to school, but what most people don’t know is that I’m basically the second mother of my household. Even though my mother is alive and well, I was taught at a young age to take responsibility and to be responsible like an adult. Not only do I take care of my siblings, but I cook and clean and do everything my mother does, because I was raised to do those things easily without complain. Anyone who isn’t part of my family/friends would look at my life and think I have no freedom. But the way I was raised taught me to be an adult, yet act my age.…

    Upon reading the opening of Langston Hughes poem, I recognized that there was a lot going on. It can be first noticed that this is an assignment given to him by his English instructor at his college. There is evidence that Langston started his homework immediately. This fact suggests that the assignment not only motivated him to write, but it caused him to think. The result is a path of reflection and opinions, which leads to an eye-opener of truth that everyone is the same. Hughes begins talking about his life in this poem in very close detail. With his descriptions of the setting around him and talking about the things going on in his head, he instantly takes the reader into his own world.…
