| why is everybody picking on me: Everybody's Got Something Robin Roberts, Veronica Chambers, 2014-04-22 Regardless of how much money you have, your race, where you live, what religion you follow, you are going through something. Or you already have or you will. As momma always said, Everybody's got something. So begins beloved Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts's new memoir in which she recounts the incredible journey that's been her life so far, and the lessons she's learned along the way. With grace, heart, and humor, she writes about overcoming breast cancer only to learn five years later that she will need a bone marrow transplant to combat a rare blood disorder, the grief and heartbreak she suffered when her mother passed away, her triumphant return to GMA after her medical leave, and the tremendous support and love of her family and friends that saw her through her difficult times. Following her mother's advice to make your mess your message, Robin taught a nation of viewers that while it is true that we've all got something -- a medical crisis to face, aging parents to care for, heartbreak in all its many forms --- we've also all got something to give: hope, encouragement, a life-saving transplant or a spirit-saving embrace. As Robin has learned, and what readers of her remarkable story will come to believe as well, it's all about faith, family and friends. And finding out that you are stronger, much stronger, than you think. |

| why is everybody picking on me: Everybody's Grandmother and Nobody's Fool Kathryn L. Nasstrom, 2018-09-05 Frances Freeborn Pauley, a white woman who grew up in the segregated South, has devoted most of her ninety-four years to the battle against discrimination and prejudice. A champion of civil rights and racial justice and an advocate for the poor and disenfranchised, Pauley's tenacity as an activist and the length of her career are remarkable. She is also a consummate storyteller; for decades, she has shared her words with activists, students, and scholars who have found their way to her door. Kathryn L. Nasstrom uses rich oral history material, recorded by herself and others, to present Frances Pauley in her own words. Pauley's life has encompassed much of the last century of extraordinary social change in the South, a life touching and touched by famous figures from southern politics and the civil rights movement. Highlights of Pauley's career in the public eye include a friendship with Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King, encounters with several of Georgia's civil-rights-era governors, and a meeting with Eleanor Roosevelt. A skillful political organizer, Pauley was involved in decades of community mobilization, repeated efforts to educate politicians and the public about the origins and nature of poverty, and lobbying for unpopular causes. People are born into a certain way of living, she says. It takes a jolt to get out of it. It doesn't really mean that they're all that mean and bad, but it takes a jolt to make them see that maybe they could make a change. In a deft blend of biography and memoir, Nasstrom explains Pauley's historical significance and places her story in the context of developments in Georgia politics and the civil rights movement. Even as it contributes to the political history of Georgia and the South, affording insight of unusual depth on familiar issues and events, the book preserves one woman's story in the still largely undocumented history of southern women's social and political activism in the twentieth century. Pauley's experiences serve as a window on the lives of all those women and men who, town by town and state by state, made momentous change not only possible but also inescapable. |
| why is everybody picking on me: The Love Everybody Wants Madison Prewett Troutt, 2024-12-03 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • ECPA BESTSELLER • Speaker and author Madison Prewett Troutt shows you how embracing God’s love allows you to truly love yourself and cultivate deep, meaningful relationships. Now includes a bonus chapter from Grant Troutt! “Packed with incredibly wise, practical insights and biblical truths, this book will help you find the love that lasts and transforms lives.”—Craig and Amy Groeschel, founding pastors of Life.Church and authors of From This Day Forward Is there something wrong with me? How many more wrong ones until the right one? Am I hard to love? Madison Prewett Troutt knows what it’s like to ask these questions in the middle of the night—to doubt and worry about never finding the love so desperately hoped for. But Madi has discovered a deeper truth now, that the love we’re searching for is already ours. In The Love Everybody Wants, Madi sets aside the shallow messages our culture shouts every day to help us hear God’s beautiful whisper: I have loved you with an everlasting love. And nothing will ever change that. Drawing from Scripture and stories from her own life, Madi invites us to embrace God’s unconditional love so we can love ourselves well—and never settle for less. The Love Everybody Wants empowers you to • view relationships in whole, holy, and healthy ways • rely on biblical strategies for healing when your heart is hurting • overcome lies such as “I have to follow my heart and feelings above all else” • understand that a life partner is meant to complement you, not complete you • look to your future with joy—because you were made to love This isn’t a manual for how to get a boyfriend or a manifesto for getting married. It’s a book about the abundant love already at your fingertips—the love God has for you. The love that lasts forever, the love that changes everything. The love everybody wants. |

| why is everybody picking on me: Come Walk with Me Beatrice Mosionier, 2018-09-20 In 1983, the book In Search of April Raintree was published to great acclaim, heralding the voice of an important new writer, Beatrice Mosionier (then Culleton). With honesty and clarity, Mosionier explored the story of two Métis sisters as they struggle with loss, identity, and racism. Yet readers have long asked: how much of April’s story comes from the author’s own life? Come Walk With Me, Beatrice’s answer to that question, is a moving memoir that follows a bewildered three-year-old through a dramatic journey to adulthood. Recounting a life that, at times, parallels that of her most memorable fictional character, and at others, diverges from it, Mosionier searches to make sense of her losses—her sundered family, her innocence, and her dignity—only to triumph as a woman and writer, fulfilled artistically, politically, and personally. |

| why is everybody picking on me: Everybody's Uncle Eugene Patrizi, 2010 I have an unusual life story to tell by the circumstances that came together as life went on. A depression baby, I experienced many days of hard times. A son of Italian immigrants, I spoke Italian at home. A deep desire to become educated was my dream. To be educated was always my dream, despite negative oppositions. My becoming an uncle at the age of three resulted in growing up with many nieces and nephews...not brothers and sisters. How I managed to overcome great obstacles to be educated is worthy of this reading. A never give up attitude led to my achievements. Simultaneously, the title of the Uncle grew not only from a huge family, but includes many friends as well. Being a talented artist from a youngster to adult, I flourished in painting and art to become well received as an artist and teacher. From my earliest of days well into my teens, I was always singled out by teachers and people of knowledge to encourage me to be an artist. Despite my obvious talents, I hardly felt that I was special. Not until adulthood did I realize that my creative art works and mentality were truly far above average. In college, my talents of all kinds were allowed to flourish. What a blessing, indeed, to have that opportunity after years of uncertainty. Always doing my very best at any chore given to me, led to my achievements. Also, being accepted as Uncle to numerous families, encouraged me to feel I had wonderful support that was so needed. As you read my story, please try to imagine the periods it all occurred, the state of my demeanor, and how I succeeded each endeavor. Hopefully, you will be enlightened and amused. |

| why is everybody picking on me: Are We Divorced, Too Daddy? Vickie Gunnells-Hodge, 2000-12 This book is hopefully the voice for every child who experiences any of the downs of divorce, simply because one parent chooses to do his own thing for “Just Right Now.” Divorce is hard enough for the child in and of itself without their having to deal with the fact that that loving missing parent believes his needs are more important than his child’s. This is where I believe a real difference exist in Americans and Jamaicans. Jamaicans seem to have a stronger feel for Family, Elders and loyalty. Fatherhood is not a temporary position! Most men here are more than enthused when it comes to promoting themselves for the sake of their business; it makes you wonder how does their enthusiasm diminish when it comes to involvement with their own flesh and blood! If they would just try giving themselves completely for a little while to that child they would surely see that their children’s love would fill the void they’re denying, and the love given and received from them will last longer, and weigh greater than anything else, forever. |

| why is everybody picking on me: I Love Myself When I Am Laughing... And Then Again When I Am Looking Mean and Impressive Zora Neale Hurston, 2020-01-07 The foundational, classic anthology that revived interest in the author of Their Eyes Were Watching God—one of the greatest writers of our time—and made her work widely available for a new generation of readers (Toni Morrison). During her lifetime, Zora Neale Hurston was praised for her writing but condemned for her independence and audacity. Her work fell into obscurity until the 1970s, when Alice Walker rediscovered Hurston's unmarked grave and anthologized her writing in this groundbreaking collection for the Feminist Press. I Love Myself When I Am Laughing... And Then Again When I Am Looking Mean and Impressive established Hurston as an intellectual leader for future generations of black writers. A testament to the power and breadth of Hurston's oeuvre, this edition—newly reissued for the Feminist Press's fiftieth anniversary—features a new preface by Walker. Through Hurston, the soul of the black South gained one of its most articulate interpreters. —The New York Times |
| why is everybody picking on me: Brave Surrender Kim Walker-Smith, 2019-04-02 A firsthand look into Kim Walker-Smith's journey from a place of shame and fear to stages around the world where she boldly proclaims the unconditional love of God. Kim Walker-Smith's passionate performance of How He Loves helped transform Jesus Culture into a global worship movement. But she wasn't always so confident of God's unrelenting, powerful love. Coming from a painful childhood, Kim struggled to believe that God could heal her heart or bring any sense from her past. Yet when she chose to hand her struggles over to God and receive His love, freedom, and healing in return, everything began to change. On the other side of surrender, Kim began a journey of looking at one painful memory at a time with God and exchanging her perspective for His truth--a journey in which God rewrote her story of pain into a story of redemption and hope. If you are longing to experience God more than the shame or hurts of your past, the pressures of your present, or the fear of your future, Brave Surrender offers a soul-healing path forward. As Kim learned in her own life, the first step--and the bravest step--is letting go. Once we let go of anything that gets between us and God, we are freed to take hold of the life that truly matters. As Kim writes, When we encounter God's love, it changes the way we see. And when we learn to see what He sees, we will never be the same again. |

| why is everybody picking on me: Panning for Gold Doneareum S. Winston, 2009-08 Panning for Gold is the remarkable and memorable journey of a young man who has to come to terms with the adversities he had to struggle against as a child and teenager growing up in foster care from the ages of 6-19 years. His mother was a paranoid schizophrenic and he never knew his real father. All he had was his two younger brothers and his belief in a higher power to help him endure and overcome the pain. As his faith was constantly tested, he observed how many people feel that the past should be left behind but his past constantly resurfaces as he bounces from home to home and shelter to shelter. The young child was gifted in the literary arts but never accepted his talent because he was always too busy trying to fit in with his surroundings to maintain a placement. It is a heartwrenching, yet funny tale of what many children today have to endure while coming from a broken home, but gives insight to what you can attain and achieve if only you stop to sift through the dirt of life and learn to believe in yourself; for who knows what you may find when you finally begin to look within. |

That's the question posed by William Upski Wimsatt in his seminal foray into the world of hip-hop, rap, and street art, and the culture and politics that surround it. Taking on a broad range of topics, including suburban sprawl, racial identity, and youth activism, Wimsatt (a graffiti artist himself) uses a kaleidoscopic approach that combines stories, cartoons, interviews, disses, parodies, and original research to challenge the suburban mindset wherever it's found: suburbs and corporate headquarters, inner cities and housing projects, even in hip-hop itself. Funny, provocative, and painfully honest, Bomb the Suburbs encourages readers to expand their social boundaries and explore the vibrant, chaotic world that exists beyond their comfort zones. |
