Only A Home Will Embrace You by Dawn Corleone
If you understand yourself and you understand your adversaries, there is no reason to fear one hundred conflicts" --- Sun Tzu
Every person's 'super power' grows on top of their moral compass. But everyone also has a Robin Hood Factor that encourages them to stray from their ideals if they can convince themselves that they are straying "for a greater good".
Your Pursuit of Happiness will be more successful if you know yourself. Understand yourself. And be yourself.
But, even better is having the confidence to achieve your potential.
Every Breath You Take by Dawn Corleone 2026
THEME: You are connected to people, places and things throughout history because the molecules in your breath have journeyed, at some point, through those people, places and things before they found you.
Sometimes in a cave. Sometimes in a leaf. Sometimes in lions and tigers and bears. Molecules in your breath has been nearly everywhere, literally, at one time or another. Great and small --- They've "seen" it all.
The mathematical and scientific explanations are in this book. It's a fact that serves no practical purpose. But it's a cool reminder of how each of us is connected to everything, and everyone, in the past, the present and the future.
Remember The Ladies by Dawn Corleone
"An army marches on its stomach" --- Napoleon Bonaparte
Nineteenth Century cookbooks helped spark many of the social programs that shaped modern American society.
Recipe swaps became networking and friendships which exposed shared ideas and concerns which led to activism.
A great deal of the lives that we cherish today began because a bunch of housewives baked and charmed their way onto the public stage.
Grammie's Kitchen
Baking with Grammie is often a cherished familial ritual, where the warmth of the kitchen combines with the sweetness of tradition to create enduring childhood memories. It invites younger generations into the heart of family culture.
As flour dusts countertops and laughter punctuates attempts at perfecting recipes, children absorb not only culinary skills but also gain insights into their cultural heritage and familial narratives. Each batch of cookies or bread becomes more than just sustenance; it becomes a link between past, present, and future within the family tapestry.
Political philosophies of The Enlightenment blended Eudaimonia and Judeo-Christian beliefs to create systems of government that made average people masters of their own lives and destinies. The Enlightenment era was marked by an intricate interplay between religious texts and classical ideas of eudaimonia
Aristotelian ethics focused on the role of virtue and reasoned debate in achieving national prosperity. This duality foresaw governance as a vehicle for societal happiness while upholding intrinsic rights vested in individuals through their "Natural Rights".
For hundreds of years, many churches tailored their sermons and their Bible readings to subjects which endorsed obedience and submission to their country's rulers. Most people were illiterate and strategic use of Biblical passages was an effective control mechanism. Passages about freedom and fair play were omitted in churchs which supported authoritarian governments.
In 1807, approximately 10% of The Bible became "The Slave Bible" ---- A tool for control of slaves and indigenous populations in British colonies.
"Select Parts of the Holy Bible for the Use of the Negro Slaves in the British West-India Islands," shared notable commonalities with traditional sermons typical in white churches during the same era.
