We find ourselves so busy that we don't take the time to enjoy simple pleasures. Listening to the birds in the morning hours, taking a walk on the beach or even watching a lovely sunset. When was the last time you did any of these things? This book focuses on some of these little things that brings us much pleasure, yet we take them for granted. It paints a picture in your mind or offers you an escape to mentally be transferred to other more peaceful surroundings. Allow yourself to be transported to a lake watching still blue water or maybe a nice Fall day where the leaves are blowing from trees. Or maybe just sit back and watch children at play and really listen to their laughter. You see, these are simple things, yet they can also be priceless and so healthy for your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. I hope you will take a moment and escape with me. Enjoy.

Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black is the only story collection from the legendary writer, actress, ex-biker and columnist Cookie Mueller, published in the UK for the first time. Mueller chronicles her high-risk, high-reward life in glorious technicolour, from becoming a part of John Waters' legendary acting troupe to becoming a mother, from describing the hedonism of 1980s New York to critiquing the government's dire response to the AIDS epidemic. Cookie's voice is fresh, wise, freewheeling and unafraid of darkness. Like a lysergic Nora Ephron, she is the candid flipside to the idealistic hippie dream. Whether good, bad or ugly, her stories are fiercely entertaining and reliably honest. Featuring a new introduction by Olivia Laing, this edition collects Mueller's stories, columns and writings, and presents a testament to a life lived courageously and well.

Serving Equality: Feminism, Media, and Women's Sports offers a much-needed methodological innovation to sports media research by expanding the focus beyond traditional sports media outlets to examine the diversity of media outlets writing about sports. In doing so, Serving Equality draws analytical attention to the ways in which feminism and feminist principles such as equality, progress, empowerment, and intersectionality shape media narratives of women's sports. With a focus on networked sports media spaces, including news coverage, promotional cultures, and sports films, chapters examine narratives of Title IX, the Olympics, the treatment of women sports journalists, the activism of women athletes, the routine coverage of the sports world, as well as the COVID-19 global pandemic. Serving Equality illustrates how feminism informs not only the media narratives of women's sports, but how women's sports contribute to and mobilize feminism in networked media spaces. Serving Equality ultimately encourages students, instructors, researchers, athletes, sport media content producers, and those in the sports industry to consider the ways we can tell stories differently about sportswomen and women's sports.

Cookie White Stephan and Walter G. Stephan This is a book about the two social psychologies-psychological social psychology and sociological social psychology--written by social psychologists from both disciplines. It focuses on the benefits and costs of interchange between psychological social psychology and sociological social psychology, with the ultimate goal of encouraging interaction among scholars in the two disciplines. The primary questions addressed are: What do the two disciplines have to offer each other? What are the barriers to fruitful interchange? How can these barriers be overcome? In this introductory chapter we will first examine some historical reasons for the lack of interchange between the two social psychologies. Then we will provide a brief preview of the chapters to follow. The Development of the Two Social Psychologies The beginning of concern with the "social animal" can be traced to the ancient Greeks. However, social psychology's formal beginning is usually dated from Norman Triplett's 1897 publication of his findings on the effects of competition or from the publication in 1908 of two books including the words "Social Psychology" in their titles, one by the psychologist William McDougall and the other by the sociologist Edward Alsworth Ross. Thus, from its inception, social psychology was already divided into two distinct academic units, housed in the disciplines of sociology and psychology.

Black queer women have shaped American culture since long before the era of gay liberation. Decades prior to the Stonewall Uprising, in the 1920s and 1930s, Black "lady lovers"—as women who loved women were then called—crafted a queer world. In the cabarets, rent parties, speakeasies, literary salons, and universities of the Jazz Age and Great Depression, communities of Black lady lovers grew, and queer flirtations flourished. Cookie Woolner here uncovers the intimate lives of performers, writers, and educators such as Bessie Smith, Ethel Waters, Gladys Bentley, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, and Lucy Diggs Slowe, along with the many everyday women she encountered in the archives. Examining blues songs, Black newspapers, vice reports, memoirs, sexology case studies, and more, Woolner illuminates the unconventional lives Black lady lovers formed to suit their desires. In the urban North, as the Great Migration gave rise to increasingly racially mixed cities, Black lady lovers fashioned and participated in emerging sexual subcultures. During this time, Black queer women came to represent anxieties about the deterioration of the heteronormative family. Negotiating shifting notions of sexuality and respectability, Black lady lovers strategically established queer networks, built careers, created families, and were vital cultural contributors to the US interwar era.

These messengers, especially the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, act as intermediaries for the Divine and deliver answers to human prayers through intuition and signs. In this full-color oracle card deck, Dawn Brown pairs the Archangels with sacred knowledge from ancient mystery schools, esoteric symbols, sigils, directions, planetary alignments, and the Qabbalistic Tree of Life. She explains that when these images are accessed and the symbols become internalized, a connection is made to etheric energy that has stored this sacred knowledge for thousands of years. Working with the alchemic vibration of the Archangels can transform you at the deepest levels, especially when used to connect to the spiritual dimensions for insight or when giving service to others. The deck contains 44 full-color Archangel cards, each carrying the attributes of its particular angel accompanied by an illuminating message that can be used for daily focus or as part of a divination spread. The Archangels are depicted in playful Chibi Anime style, "little animations" of the Archangels, to connect directly to the inner child, bypassing the intellect and thus allowing the messages to be absorbed by the subconscious. The accompanying 128-page booklet provides a comprehensive explanation of associated symbols, planetary alignments, and messages for each Archangel as well as their position on the Qabbalistic Tree of Life. It also includes guidance on card spreads and recommendations for using the energy of the cards. By connecting with Angels and your inner child through the Chibi Anime Angel Cards, you open access to an everlasting and loving spiritual support system as well as to tools to develop your intuition for self-mastery and empowerment.
