The way his fingers dance of the computer keys, spewing tweets into the night has the nation in a froth.The Rumpus, all knowing and tremendous, with a jar of fireflies for a brain, seems unstoppable; that is until two women armed with knitting needles and pink yarn hatch an idea, and begin a movement that catches fire round the world. But is it enough to effect change? Protesters,disgruntled by the current administration and trying to save democracy, knitting needles hummed across the planet. Adorned with pink hats, their symbol of resistance, they marched not only in DC and NYC, but in small and large towns across the United States, Europe, and even Africa. They were the shout that was heard round the world. This sardonic political picture book provides the necessary comic relief for the pomposity that resides in the White House. It serves as a safety valve on the pressure cooker that is currently American politics. Never underestimate the power of women especially armed with weapons of ass destruction. The Royal Rumpus and the March of the Pink Hats is a punchy satire, and a delightful comedic read Critic Ernest Jaegar states: “Lu Pierro has handled the absurdity in the White House with a playful satiric voice. Her work will have readers laughing even as they sigh.” Scott Wilson of the Vine Voice states,” This is a great little book that illustrates the absurdities of the current political climate - and the juvenile behavior of the current US President, Donald Trump - by covering the 2017 Women's March on Washington in a children's story book format. Complimented by the watercolor art of Lynda Farrington Wilson, Lu PIerro's Seuss-like rhyming text describes the rise to power of the "Royal Rumpus," and the sea of Pink Hats that descended upon Washington, DC …”

Ancient sayings and proverbs offer insights and understanding about many aspects of the cultural traditions of the societies from which they emanate. Additionally we find proverbs that have been borrowed or exchanged between similar languages and cultures, and thus reach us today through more than one language. This is particularly true within Asia, where common cultures and traditions often transcend political boundaries and lines drawn on maps.Proverbs usually originate from humble indigenous people, who handed down their wise sayings and life lessons from generation to generation and from century to century. But they also come from ancient thinkers like Buddha and Confucius. Ancient proverbs, particularly from Asia, tend to condense the experiences and habits of life into the fundamental lessons for our respective life journeys. As such, they enable us to set our personal bearings for traversing the vast realms and depths of our individual hopes, desires, dreams, plans, and pursuits. Truly inspirational proverbs reflect the deepest wisdom about life culled from the experiences, knowledge, and wisdom of past generations. They help us crystallize our own understanding of life; benefiting from the experiences, understanding, knowledge, and wisdom of those who have gone before us. When these pithy sayings and short maxims resonate with our personal inner beliefs and truths, we are uplifted, motivated, and strengthened in our resolve to hurdle the obstacles life throws at us and pursue our chosen paths. Author Steven Howard hopes that the Asian Proverbs in this book become inspirational dictums and teachings that open up new perspectives for readers that help them each reframe their personal experiences of life, reality, and spirituality. The Book of Asian Proverbs is part of Howard's popular Asian Words of Wisdom series of motivational and inspiration quotations and sayings.

It's not just WHAT you think, but HOW you think, that makes a difference in the outcomes you generate. You make tens of thousands of decisions a day - up to 70,000 according to research. Yet far too many of these decisions are made under emotional duress, stress, anxiety, and pressure. When this happens, the rational control center of your brain is no longer in charge, having been replaced by the emotional control center. Make Better Decisions. You do not have to emotionally react to events, situations, and people. Within this book you will find useful and easy-to-implement tips and techniques for taking control of your emotions and thoughts so that you can respond, instead of reacting, to life's daily challenges. Doing so puts you in a position to make more optimal decisions, both personally and professionally. Drive Better Outcomes. Stressed-out people fall prey to binary choice decision making, which limits the options they take into consideration. An array of choices and options appear in mindful moments because opting to pause prevents habitual, knee-jerk responses from automatically surfacing and taking over. Removing yourself from autopilot mode helps prevent reactive decisions and responses. A mindfulness breather enables your conscious thoughts to hold sway over unconscious, instinctive, and automatic reactions. This leads to better decisions and more desirable outcomes. Better decision making and better thinking - and thus better outcomes - can be yours. The key to doing so, especially for important decisions that lead to a more productive and happier life, is in knowing how stress and anxiety impact your decision making.

Become the leader – and human – that your organization, family, and community needs.\nThe business environment was changing before Covid, but now these changes are happening at warp speed. We are in the throes of a pivotal moment, facing the greatest transformation in how we work since the early days of word processing and the desktop computer (the so-called Information Revolution).\nManaging people is a 1980s construct. It is why people leave bosses, not organizations. It is no longer acceptable or relevant in today's world. Simply stated: work is not working for many people. Work and the workplace, along with the behaviors, actions, and attitudes of many leaders, have alienated millions of people.\nAward-winning author Steven Howard advocates a better approach – Humony Leadership. Humony is a created word comprising human, humanity, and harmony to emphasize the leading of people and the need for leaders to create workplaces of wellbeing and harmony.\nThere is no Old Reality to return to. The role of a leader is no longer to be a task overseer and a reporter of results. Rather, the leader's role today – at every level of every organization – is to be a people performance coach. To be successful, leaders must become people-centric.\nOne lesson from the pandemic: people want greater human connection. Leaders need to excel at the human connection aspect of leadership. Leaders need to unlearn management and relearn to be human. And, leaders must develop mindsets enabling them to confront and handle uncertainty and ambiguity.\nThe key is to stop treating employees as only a means to an end. This mindset is contributing to millions of people worldwide quitting their jobs and seeking new employment with organizations that value them as human beings. There has been a fundamental change in what people value. Work is no longer the most important thing that defines a large portion of the workforce. Working harder and longer is no longer worth sacrificing health, harmony, personal relationships, and nonwork responsibilities.\nHumony Leadership provides you with the mindsets, skills, behaviors, and actions that will make you a great people-centric leader.

Each of the chapters in Living Uncommonly establishes a Biblical basis for how to live uncommonly, often supported by stories and examples from the author's personal and professional experiences. Living Uncommonly was initially motivated by the author's desire to memorialize his thoughts on Biblically based, uncommon living practices for his grandchildren and future descendants. However, after a handful of family members and friends read the initial drafts of the book, the feedback was that the Biblical perspectives, combined with the life experiences shared in the book, would benefit a wider audience than just future generations of the author's own lineage. The author's hope is that this book of practical advice based on Scripture will enable all who read it to find new and better ways to live lives of purpose. The aim is to help people of all ages and backgrounds develop life practices that will draw every reader into a more intimate relationship with Christ so that they, in turn, may impact those in their sphere of influence in a substantially positive way. The approach to Living Uncommonly considers the contrast between Biblically based direction for living a life of meaning and purpose, compared to the predominant cultural trends in today's world.
