El pendejonario: Diccionario de pendejos y pendejadas
by María del Montes de OcaDiviértase y deje de hacerse pendejo, o hágalo, pero mientras lee El pendejonario. En El pendejonario encontrará: - Tipologías: descubra a cuál pendejo pertenece, puede ser que se identifique con más de dos. - Sobre lo pendejo y sus derivados: la pendejez está adherida al habla hispana, vea los usos de este calificativo y sus derivados en Latinoamérica. - Horóscopos: su pendejez no es gratuita, sino producto de la posición relativa de los planetas el día en que usted nació. - Frases de gente famosa: ni siquiera Borges, Sócrates o Einstein se salvan de la maldición pendeja, por eso la expresan en sus pendefrases. - Expresiones populares: reflejan alguna situación sobre la pendeja vida. - Canciones y citas literarias pendejas: porque la pendejez no queda fuera de las manifestaciones artísticas. En Algarabía editorial hablamos sobre lo que todos hablan y escribimos de lo que nadie escribe, pero tratado de un modo inteligente, claro y humorístico. Por esta razón, Algarabía, en coordinación con el doctor Justo Muñoz, decidió dedicar este libro a uno de los adjetivos coloquiales que unifican a la humanidad: pendejo. La base para estructurar un proyecto como El pendejonario fue la iniciativa del Partido Autónomo de Pendejos (PAP), que retomó la idea original de don Hermenegildo L. Torres, quien creó la fundación Pro Unificación del Pendejo (PUP), en donde se desarrolló toda una corriente humorística, expuesta tanto en conferencias como en charlas: "tarea de verdadero proselitismo", como el mismo Hermenegildo determinó. El objetivo primordial del PAP es enriquecer el glosario del calificativo pendejo por medio de las aportaciones voluntarias y creativas de todos aquellos que decidan pertenecer a su membresía; así como llevar a cabo diferentes conferencias y charlas referentes al tema, con la finalidad de ampliar el corpus de dicho término en sus diferentes formas y contextos.

Pegasus: Leading the Way to Light & Love
by Tehruna Meresh‘The time has come for humanity to look deep within and face a part of themselves that opens them to an eternal love that exists in the higher realms, beyond their comprehension. To live in darkness and not want the light is to live in a cave without sunshine – the eyes get weak and cannot see anything beyond. So do not resist your progress forward by being resistant to new ideas for change and bring yourselves into the light. For this I have given of myself to show you a world beyond your conception.’ – Grandpa What happens when divinity intervenes and touches the hearts of all beings? Tehruna Meresh, through the process of automatic writing, brings you an anthology of lucid, and at times overwhelming messages from beyond, in the words of her spiritual guide – her ‘Grandpa’. Through this book, it is the endeavour of both her and Grandpa to show that spiritual guides do exist. They are loving and kind, and even though we may not know who they are, if we simply ask for their help, they will be there to assist us always.

Pilates targets the areas most affected by pregnancy (abdomen, hips, lower back, and buttocks), so new moms will get results fast without having to leave homes or carve out huge chunks of time. Simultaneously, because the baby is incorporated into the Pilates movements, women get to enjoy a loving and fun interaction with their babies. Unlike other mother/baby fitness programs, however, baby is far more than just a prop; the exercises in Pee Wee Pilates are designed specifically to help foster a little one's development and attachment to mother. Developed by one of New York City's leading Pilates teachers, Pee Wee Pilates promises to be the hot new "baby and me" exercise program for new mothers everywhere.

Pebbles of Grace: Seeking Heaven's Pearls in Daily Living
by Kimberly Ruoff&“. . . the Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls.&”2 Corinthians 5:17b NIV My husband had passed away just 3 months earlier. The chaos and drama that usually follows had finally settled: the house was unusually quiet while my spirit remained stirred. I&’d spent quite a bit of time in reflective prayer, unsure of what even to ask of God, but knowing He was somehow divinely connected to my unsettledness. Where were these random thoughts of writing coming from? Besides, what would I even say? Moreover, would anyone care enough to listen? It didn&’t take long to receive confirmation. The instruction was just that, leaving no room for doubt or misunderstanding: I&’m invited to write.Being as transparent as possible, I&’m living proof God can use anybody to do His Kingdom work. You and I don&’t have to wait until we feel equipped or we&’ve got our act together in order to respond to God&’s call. We simply need to be willing to take the first step. Here I am, starting year three, not necessarily an &“accomplished&” writer, but definitely a writer who has learned far more than she could ever put in print, ever share with others . . . a writer who realizes all God wants is her humble, amendable heart: He&’ll step in and do the rest.Several heavenly pearls have dropped in my lap throughout this newfound journey:It&’s God&’s story; I&’m not the main character. I&’m simply invited to play a role in His story.Feelings are fickle; they come and go. Don&’t trust them.Faith is only faith when action follows. Yet, it&’s faith that empowers and perseveres.God calls me to &“bigger-than-Kim&” tasks so I get out of the way and He can say and do what He needs to say and do through me. This way, He gets full credit and all the glory.I cannot share what I don&’t possess. My spiritual authenticity grows the quieter I&’d become and the closer I draw near to God&’s heart.I will never do life perfectly. I make mistakes but my response to my mistakes reflects my level of humility before God and others.When you and I allow God to step in and take over the reins of our life, He opens our eyes to both His presence and power working in, through, and around us. We realize we are walking along each day stepping on Pebbles of Grace with each stride. Only God can take it all, both the good and bad of one&’s life, and interweave it into a beautiful tapestry, a tapestry of divine value, meaning, and purpose.May this collection of heavenly pearls drench your soul with a fresh awareness of just how passionately God loves you, how relentlessly He pursues you, and how through the acceptance of His son, Jesus Christ, how He affectionately offers you Pebbles of Grace.

Pearls of Wisdom: Little Pieces of Advice (That Go a Long Way)
by Barbara BushThe best advice First Lady Barbara Bush offered her family, staff, and close friends. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #2c2c2c} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #2c2c2c; min-height: 14.0px} p.p3 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Helvetica} p.p4 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px} span.s1 {color: #2c2c2c} First Lady Barbara Bush was famous for handing out advice. From friends and family to heads of state and Supreme Court justices, and certainly to her staff, her advice ranged from what to wear, what to say or not say, and how to live your life. She especially loved visiting with students of all ages, from kindergartners to college graduates. When she turned 80, she owned up to all her advice-giving and explained it this way: After all, in 80 years of living, I have survived 6 children, 17 grandchildren, 6 wars, a book by Kitty Kelly, two presidents, two governors, big Election Day wins and big Election Day losses, and 61 years of marriage to a husband who keeps jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. So, it's just possible that along the way I've learned a thing or two. At the end of the day, she taught all of us some valuable lessons. As First Lady, she made a point of cuddling a baby with AIDS and hugging a young man who was HIV positive and whose family had rejected him, showing us by example the importance of compassion and the myth of fear. As a mother, she made sure we all knew that your children must come first, and one of the most important things you can do is to read to them. As a friend and mentor, she showed that you had to be true to yourself, and even at the end of her life, she taught us how to die with grace.Full of Barbara Bush's trademark wit and thoughtfulness, Pearls of Wisdom is a poignant reflection on life, love, family, and the world by one of America's most iconic -- and beloved -- public figures.
