An inspirational collection of original letters written by remarkably accomplished women to future generations of success seekers When facing obstacles to her own success, Michele R. Wright quickly discovered how valuable it is to have success warriors in your life who can inspire and guide you. With this in mind, Wright assembled luminaries from the entertainment, arts, business, and sports worlds to offer words of inspiration and invaluable advice to those seeking victory in their personal and professional journeys. In these original pieces, the eighty-three contributors -- representing a diverse range of age, background, and experience -- share intimate stories of the challenges and trium...
Statistical data suggest that many people with chronic health conditions pass away at much younger ages than their peers. Yet large quantitative datasets that address aging with chronic illness often do not capture the diversity of people with chronic diseases and their experiences of growing older. The assumptions built into many core data resources on aging often erase the journeys of people occupying marginalized social locations. Likewise, these same assumptions can result in omission of people who survive for long amounts of time while managing conditions with relatively short median life expectancies. These barriers to understanding diverse experiences of aging with chronic illness are...
LaVerne’s current metaphorical writing of “The World’s Luckiest Journal” has taken her message of dedication and belief in oneself a step further. She believes, and urges her readers, to not only rely on ‘luck’ as a matter of destiny or human phenomenon, but she also considers luck as a starting point in an individual’s pursuit of his or life success and happiness in life by making efforts to reshape his or her experiential realities of life. Thus, the principles of individual, community, and organizational social responsibility are relevant in understanding LaVerne’s publication of “The World’s Luckiest Journal”—a metaphorical piece relevant in our contemporary society. In other words, our luck is not just our God-given talent, but also our luck to find those around us who are willing to guide and also guard us, advise us, and play some role in order to see us work toward achieving our goals in life. Here lies the meaning of humanism, social responsibility, and happiness which LaVerne attempts to impress upon us and our sensitivities as human beings. I recommend LaVerne’s publication to all and sundry.
