About Sayings To Live Your Life By

Metaphors, aphorisms, idioms, figures of speech, and adages are all similar concepts in modern language. They all impart some sort of implied meaning that extends beyond the words they consist of. Even if the individual words are understood, an unfamiliar saying may trigger a puzzled expression and a need for explanation. But once clarified, these phrases are accepted and used regularly, to the extent that they have been universally adopted.
Sayings to Live Your Life By is an examination of the odd world of the metaphor and its various counterparts for curious readers with a knack for linguistics. What are the raw meanings behind these sayings? How did they originate? How have they become a part of common speech? These questions are addressed for the commonly used phrases collected here.
Gregg breaks down selected examples in an effort to find their meaning and purpose. While often nonsensical on the surface, metaphorical statements are used to help analyse difficult situations, provide a degree of simplicity in challenging decisions, and allow communication of events and circumstances. Their connection to intangible and complicated subjects such as philosophy and morality is vital, offering a way to put the indescribable into words.

About Schooled! by Matthew Rockwood

SCHOOLED! is a fast-paced novel that shines a light on the often hidden underbelly of a divided New York City Public School system and is based on a true story.

Readers of SCHOOLED! have called it: “a page turner” “eye-opening and heart wrenching” and “essential reading if you want clarity on the biggest social challenge… the country must ultimately resolve.”

Author Matthew Rockwood is an attorney who left the law to become a teacher. “I wrote Schooled to offer readers a look into the realities faced by public school teachers working on the front lines day in and day out. Until we can see what the problems are, we won’t be in a position to fix them. Public education is the backbone of democracy. Right now the public system is failing a huge number of children who could potentially contribute to society.”

As a long-time volunteer worker at the Center for Integration of Foreigners in Prague, she combines her two passions – storytelling and meeting people from foreign lands. She loves sharing different cultures and insights about the world, but mainly she loves looking for things we have in common regardless of nationality.
During her travels to Japan, she was captivated by the charm of that beautiful country. Therefore, it’s not surprising her first novel, TOKYO STORY, takes place there.
Tereza lives in the beautiful city of Prague, Czech Republic, with her husband, two children, and a cat.

The Mediterranean diet is a way of eating that is based on the traditional dietary patterns of the countries that border the Mediterranean Sea such as Greece, Spain, Israel, Southern Italy and France.

The most authentic form of the Mediterranean diet dates back to the 1950’s and 60’s during which the Seven Countries study led by Ancel Keys discovered that the healthiest ranking area of the study was the Greek island of Crete.

Nowadays there is many a Mediterranean diet cookbook on the market that claims to contain authentic Mediterranean diet recipes.

Some of the key elements of the Mediterranean diet include eating lots of fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, making olive oil your primary source of monounsaturated fat and consuming fish and seafood regularly for their omega-3 benefits.

The Mediterranean diet cookbook includes recipes like:

“Getting healthy, achieving your goal weight and loving life is only a read away!”

Understanding what it takes to live a healthy lifestyle, eat right, achieve your goal weight, and love your life shouldn’t be complicated. Your time is valuable and the last thing you need is to tackle a 300 page book on how to get your health, weight, and life on track. If you’re like most people, you just want the facts in bite-sized, easy to understand pieces that you can apply to your life TODAY!

My name is Gina Crawford. I am a health and “all things natural” enthusiast and author. Years ago I was overweight, exhausted, unhappy, and desperately aching for a better life. One day, gruelingly tired of my situation, I started researching everything I could on health and transforming my life. I often felt overwhelmed by the amount of information and the changes I had to make, but I persevered and managed to turn my life around one book and one bite at a time.

Now I’m determined to share what I’ve learned in an easy, non-overwhelming, no fluff, no filler, straight to the point kind of way that will allow others to achieve maximum results in a short amount of time.

I am passionate about every book I write and my goal with each book is to make it simple and concise, yet power-packed with the necessary information you need to transform your life. I have learned first-hand the incredible value of healing ourselves with natural organic foods, natural remedies, exercise, and a positive mindset.

When I’m not writing, I love cooking, walking, and reading!

My hope is that my books will help you live a healthier, better, more passionate, alive life!

Happy reading!

My parents had a restaurant, and from thirteen or fourteen I knew that I would be a cook. I can do whatever I want, I have complete freedom, but for a chef it’s very important. I have been cooking since I was 13 years old – frying potatoes, doing some trivial things. And I always knew more than my friends. However, I built a further career consciously. Even while studying, I realized that I prefer cookery to the confectionery business. Then she worked with Japanese and Mexican cuisines. Now I’m actively learning Italian cuisine. I cook pasta with mild cheese and basil pesto sauce. People are surprised when they try it. But it’s very tasty. I do not regret spending time preparing food. I chose the cook’s profession, because he always liked delicious food. I never get bored when I cook checked or come up with new dishes.

I have grown fond of cooking since childhood and now I work in a restaurant as a cook. In each recipe, I invest a part of my soul. I can call my work a real art. Most of the invented recipes I put in different books with detailed descriptions. I represent the kitchen, the basis of which is the love of good food, to the food that gathers people close to the Sunday table, the food that makes you languish in anticipation of the pie from the oven, the food that remains in your memory for a long time.

Born in South-East London, I was a power cut baby of the early 70s. I’d wanted to write stories ever since I read ‘Salem’s Lot by Stephen King and Flowers in the Attic by Virginia Andrews when I was around 11 years old, but life had other ideas for me. Circumstances led me to leave school when I turned 15 to start labouring and painting. I remained in the construction industry for many years after, learning various trades. I have 2 daughters and recently became a grandfather to a beautiful boy and girl as both my girls had their first child; within 6 weeks of each other. I know right!

Writing looked as though it had become one of those faded dreams that would fail to materialise, but like many thoughts planted in our minds by our younger selves, it never went away.

It was a long ride and wait with plenty of obstacles to overcome along the way. My debut novel took me two and a half years of writing, rewriting, and editing. I hope you’ll join me on a journey that will lead wherever my mind decides to take us.

About Big Stage for Me

From the moment they begin socializing, children are exposed to bullying, peer-pressure, social hierarchies, and insults. It is essential for children to learn how to separate their true identity and potential from nasty things they hear from their peers. A valuable lesson to learn is how to be confident in your character, who you are, and not to care what other people think. Singing Bird is the story of a bird who loves to sing and wants to sing his tune, but is mocked by a flock of birds into singing alone. The Bird loses his self-confidence and becomes shameful of his singing. He finds a butterfly who encourages him to keep on singing and find his voice, no matter what people say. He is heard by a mighty Lion who wants Bird to sing at his ball. The Bird regains his self-confidence and realizes the Butterfly was right about not caring what others think and to keep following the desires of his heart. The flock attempts to disrupt the Ball and continue mocking the Bird’s singing, but the mighty Lion rejects them and makes them leave. All the animals of the forest have a wonderful time at the Ball, and the Bird learns the valuable lesson of following your dreams and not caring what others think because, in the end, right people will value his determination, effort, and talent. He didn’t need the approval of the mean flock of birds, he just needed to follow his dreams, and better friends and opportunities will come his way because of it.
