How Many Faces Do You Have? is a poem sequence that interrogates intimacy, each poem a face the poet discovers, a reflection revealed in response to inner questioning. In a voice of quiet sonority, these lyrics journey from a high-school gym dance to a moonlit beach polka. They linger over sushi in Montreal and an airline meal at 40,000 feet on a flight. They touch joy and pain and celebrate the vicissitudes of love that goes “into the tangled heartland / where there is no trail,” as a gift of being. A face is such a strange thing. Obsessed with distortion, Modigliani loved elongated faces like Tamara’s at a distance, a flattened oval, two black jewels. He painted with a dagger in his teeth, they say, to see the face within the face — grave, cold-eyed as Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt, whom I’ve always loved for her name alone.

Each one of us has a medley of "faces" that composes our individual personality: intelligence, anger, love, jealousy, helplessness, courage, and many more. We're often quick to judge these characteristics as either positive or negative, without recognizing that we need each of them in order to become fuller, more balanced human beings. Originally written in 1978 by renowned psychotherapist Virginia Satir, the timeless classic Your Many Faces has been updated and reissued—and is as relevant today as ever. In a refreshingly candid style, Satir takes us on a lively and insightful journey of self-discovery and transformation. We learn how to acknowledge, understand, and manage our many faces—and in doing so, open up a world of possibilities for ourselves. This new edition also features a compelling foreword by Mary Ann Norfleet, PhD, which explores Satir's pioneering approaches to psychology and her enduring legacy in the field of family therapy.

Had the perfect crime been achieved? Three months had passed and the trail was cold or was there any trial to follow? Could one man be smart enough to plan and carry out a heist of this magnitude? Just who was this Tallmadge McGee anyway? Was he basking in sunshine on a peaceful island sipping on his ice-tea with hula girls at his beck and call? Could he live long enough to spend his millions or was he already buried under a slab of cement. The FBI was stymied, and a wall of doubt grew. Would the crime ever be solved? One thing was a positi ve, the underwriters were screaming for results. Were a generous retainer and the possibility of a half million-dollar reward enti cing enough for Duncan Luce to commit himself to the case? Yes he decided, Internati onal Investi gators Inc. was the granddaddy of all investi gati on agencies that existed outside of the government society. This would open the fi nal door of his profession. For them to seek out his services was a star in his crown. Already the juices were fl owing. Brace yourself Mr. McGhee this is going to be interesti ng. Duncan Luce has taken up the hunt.

God looked at the earth with despair. He knew the future of earth was dismal; it was prone to the pollutions created by man. Worse yet, people in many countries were killing others for their different religious beliefs. Gone was the day of the cross and bow when men fought each other face to face. Now many countries were making weapons that could travel great distances to kill millions. This both saddened and angered Him and He knew something had to be done. Should I create another flood? Have everyone turned into salt? No, none of these would work because many souls would be sent to Hell and Satan could not accommodate that many. He could perform miracles to improve these conditions, but that would take away the Earthlings' freewill. The only solution was for the Earthlings to improve their own fate with a little help from Him. Summoning his Undergods, He gave them instructions to choose a few Earthlings, approach them through apparitions and give them minor powers, which would aid them in their missions. Thus, The Many Faces of God begins.

A vital record of the lives and testimony of brave people who have come out of the shadows of anonymity.

This book is based on a black woman who has a multiple personality disorder. I created the characters from my experience with menopause. A multiple personality disorder is similar to menopause. The mood swings, the hot flashes, memory loss, and other symptoms. The character Sarah had a lot of bad experiences with some black men at a young age. Sarah discovered that she had other personalities at fifty- years old. The incident that made her aware of her condition could have landed her in jail. Instead it landed her in therapy. During therapy she learned about incidents with some black men that she had completely blocked out, until she is hypnotized. That is when she saw Ruby, Bella, and Shelia on video tape. I hope my readers enjoy the characters I created from The MANY FACES OF ME Brenda.
