The author's son gets engaged to his long-time girlfriend and the couple starts planning their wedding. When the coronavirus turns the world upside down, the bride and groom are unsure how to proceed. After weighing their options they decide to go ahead with their original wedding date but changed the event from a 220-plus person hotel wedding in Washington D.C. to a micro-wedding in his parent's backyard in Westchester County, New York. The groom's mom becomes the wedding planner, a role she never expected. With all of her kids at home and a pandemic raging, she discovers that making the wedding perfect is harder than she anticipates. From feeding and keeping safe the army that had filled her formerly empty nest, to making the "venue" beautiful, to the Phish connection, the book is a compilation of funny and touching stories from the months leading up to the wedding and the big day itself. This book is for anyone who has ever planned a wedding or found themselves in the middle of a pandemic.
Nearly Lost but Dearly Won by Theodore P. Wilson is about the dirty Mr. Tankardew who lives in squalor despite his educated and pleasant disposition. Excerpt: "Certainly, Mr. Tankardew was not a pattern of cleanliness, either in his house or his person. Someone had said of him sarcastically, "that there was nothing clean in his house but his towels;" and there was a great deal of truth in the remark. He seemed to dwell in an element of cobwebs; the atmosphere in which he lived, rather than breathed, was apparently a mixture of fog and dust. Everything he had on was faded—everything that he had about him was faded—the only dew that seemed to visit the jaded-looking shrubs in the approach to his dwelling was mildew. Dilapidation and dinginess went hand-in-hand everywhere: the railings around the house were dilapidated—some had lost their points, others came to an abrupt conclusion a few inches above the stone-work from which they sprang..."
A lot of professors give talks titled 'The Last Lecture'. Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave, 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams', wasnt about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humour, inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like? You know? To walk a mile in another man's shoes. 'The devil is laughing alright! Not only am I practically a junkie again, I'm also cheating on my wife with a married woman. This isn't backsliding. This is diving head first into a bucket full of sh*t. And I'm so numb I can't even smell it.' Somehow everything had just kind of snowballed and David didn't even know how it got that bad. But the devil did! "I am not much of a reader, but I owed someone a favour. So I flipped through the first few pages, I didn't put it down until I finished it!" Gerry Brummer
Every woman has been faced at one time or another with inadequacy—feeling less than or wanting to change something about themselves in order to gain validation. It can be a vicious cycle led by a loud inner voice that states, “When this happens, I will be enough.” We all have a soul and it is precious. Unfortunately, women who cannot see who they truly are on the inside struggle with self-worth and rarely put themselves first in life. In a relatable and raw retelling of her personal experiences that span over forty years, Melissa Marti leads others through her story and pain as well as her quest to love, feel worthy and desirable, shun the negativity and old patterns, and listen to her inner-voice in order to reset her life and embrace her value. Throughout her narrative, Marti provides an encouraging reminder to anyone who has fallen flat on their face that it is possible to rise from the depths of damaging behaviors and relationships and create a new beginning strengthened by healthy boundaries, confidence, and self-love. Reset: A New Beginning details one woman’s journey to positive transformation that offers hope, inspiration, and light for those living in darkness.
