Book Has Been Out For Just A Couple Of Weeks, And Doing Well. Thank You!

From the back cover:

"Motivated By Pain is a raw and emotionally-charged book in which Patrick Moore examines common personality differences between men and women, the raging battle of testosterone versus estrogen and the insurmountable damage stress can place on our relationships. Moor's story will make you laugh, it will make you cry, but most of all it will make you think twice about the choices you are about to make. . ."

TEDxSantaCruz: Gina Castaneda - Uniting Rival Teen Gang Members Through ...

As an adolescent, Gina Castaneda experienced intervals of homelessness and even lived in a car for a period of time with her mother. Despite the adversities of growing up in a violent neighborhood and a violent home, Gina avoided gang entrenchment. In April 2008, Gina founded the Aztecas Soccer Program for Latino juvenile probationers who affiliate with both Norteño and Sureño gangs. As the coach and organizer, Gina has successfully managed to assimilate these opposing gangs into teammates, on and off the field.

Words of Inspiration

"To dream anything that you want to dream,

that is the beauty of the human mind.

To do anything that you want to do,

that is the strength of the human will.

To trust yourself, to test your limits,

that is the courage to succeed."

-- Bernard Edmonds

Words of Inspiration

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be
brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."

-- Marianne Williamson
