The Wallflower that Bloomed
Author: Cally Logan
Publisher: Destiny Image Publishers
ISBN: 0768479452
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
Introducing The Wallflower that Bloomed by Cally Logan, an empowering and thought-provoking exploration of the hidden potential within each of us. In this profound and introspective book, author Cally Logan, renowned for her impactful works Hang In There, Girl! and Dear Future Husband, unveils the untapped brilliance often overlooked in those who adorn the walls of life like forgotten decorations. As children, many of us are burdened with labels such as "shy," "quiet," "awkward," or simply "different." These descriptors, casually assigned by others or even self-imposed, confine us to the sidelines, rendering our voices faint and our presence unnoticed. But within the depths of our being lies a multitude of stories to be shared, perspectives to be offered, and reflections to be pondered. The Wallflower that Bloomed challenges societal norms that pigeonhole individuals into these predetermined roles of invisibility. With heartfelt sincerity, Cally Logan urges us to strip away the stigma associated with being an outsider, to cease judging those who prefer solitude, and, most importantly, to learn to truly see others for who they authentically are. Moreover, this captivating exploration compels us to reflect upon our own journey towards self-acceptance and self-love. Instead of resigning ourselves to a life of isolation and judgment, we are invited to embrace the notion that we can stand proudly in our uniqueness, fully blooming into the remarkable beings we were always meant to be. What if we shattered the preconceived notions and misconceptions that surround individuals labeled as "wallflowers"? What if we focused on truly knowing, accepting, and appreciating one another for the awe-inspiring qualities that set us apart? And what if, in the process, we also learned to extend this grace and understanding to ourselves? The Wallflower that Bloomed sparks an introspective journey, inviting readers to break free from the confines of societal expectations and embrace their inherent worth. With Cally Logan as our compassionate guide, we are encouraged to unleash the dormant potential within us, stepping into the fullness of our being and embracing the brilliance that lies within. Prepare to be inspired, challenged, and transformed as you immerse yourself in The Wallflower that Bloomed. Cally Logan's powerful words will remind you that, just like a wallflower that blossoms, you too can break free from the shadows and bloom beautifully, embracing your truest self. We are also delighted to announce that the foreword for this edition is written by Carol McLeod. Carol is a best-selling author and has written more than 18 books. Her words of praise and endorsement add an additional layer of credibility to this empowering memoir.

ISBN: 194267130X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
"Wallflower in Bloom is absolutely, hands-down, Claire Cook's best novel to date. Cook's characters are delightful and quirky, and the storyline is fast paced and lively with just the right touch of humor and romance. Slip on your dancing shoes and enjoy a few spins around the floor with this charming novel!"—Fresh Fiction Deirdre Griffin has a great life; it’s just not her own. She’s the around-the-clock personal assistant to her charismatic, high-maintenance, New Age guru brother Tag. As the family wallflower, her only worth seems to be as gatekeeper to Tag at his New England seaside compound. Then Deirdre’s sometime boyfriend informs her that he is marrying another woman, who just happens to be having the baby he told Deirdre he never wanted. While drowning her sorrows in Tag’s expensive vodka, Deirdre decides to use his massive online following to get herself voted on as a last-minute Dancing with the Stars replacement. It’ll get her back in shape, mentally and physically. It might even get her a life of her own. Deirdre’s fifteen minutes of fame have begun. Irresistible and offbeat, Wallflower in Bloom is an original and deeply satisfying story of having the courage to take a leap into the spotlight, no matter where you land. From the critically acclaimed and New York Times bestselling author of Must Love Dogs—a winning and witty novel about a woman who emerges from the shadow of her overbearing family and finds herself dancing with the stars. “A fun-filled romp of a middle-aged woman coming into her own. Through Claire Cook’s skilled narrative, readers won’t realize till the very end they’ve been taught a wonderful lesson. It is never too late to find your place in the world.”—San Francisco Book Review “A fun and inspiring read . . . Cook’s humor and narrative execution are impeccable.”— Publishers Weekly “Filled with sweet humor and all the eye-rolling moments of jumbled yet ultimately loving family relations, romance, and coming into one’s own, this women’s fiction is a definite pleaser.”— Booklist “Cook’s penchant for hitting the emotional sore spot and combining it with humor hits the mark. … A thoroughly enjoyable and amusing read, this story is sure to delight.”—New York Journal of Books “Cook has a light, fun voice and always infuses her stories with great wit and heart.”—Cape Cod Times “The perfect summer read . . . Showcases Cook’s ability to create likable, realistic characters who are placed in situations in which they must do some serious soul searching–and the reader will love the results.”—Examiner “The exuberant and charming Claire Cook is one of the sassiest and funniest creators of contemporary women’s fiction.”—The Times-Picayune “Claire Cook has built a brand writing women’s fiction blending kernels of the absurd and comedic in compulsively readable combinations.”— Shelf Awareness “Claire Cook has an original voice, sparkling style, and a window into family life that will make you laugh and cry.”—Adriana Trigiani “A master in creating funny, warm, relatable characters you root for from the very first page.”— Allison Winn Scotch “Inimitably warm and witty . . . Tender, touching, and terribly, terribly funny!”—Mary Kay Andrews “Charming, engagingly quirky, and full of fun, Claire Cook just gets it.”—Meg Cabot “Reading Claire Cook might be the most fun you have all summer.”—Elin Hilderbrand

Growing California Native Plants
Author: Marjorie G. Schmidt
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520906112
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
This is the first comprehensive book to aid the gardener in making a start with native plants. It takes the gardener through the beginning steps of identifying native plants, evaluating them in relation to conventional garden materials, and learning detailed techniques of propagation and culture. Annuals, perennials (including ferns), bulbs, shrubs and trees are included—with about 350 species treated in detail, and many others included in charts and listings for quick reference. A few California native plants have been in cultivation for a hundred years or so, but widespread consciousness of natives is relatively recent. It has arisen partly because of the recent drought, which natives survived more readily than exotics, and partly because of growing awareness that many natives have become rare or endangered, and may be preserved and perpetuated by cultivation for their ornamental qualities. The book is in full accord with the new trend in landscaping in which the environment, climate, and restricted water supplies are taken into account—not only for gardens but also for parks, roadside plantings, and other large-scale landscaping. Because propagation and cultural methods for many native plants have never been recorded, the author spent years gathering information through correspondence. She has also had personal experience in growing natives for more than 30 years. The result is the first complete, practical, convenient guide for growing native plants. It will be essential for the experienced gardener and the beginner alike.
