With the new visibility of family formations that have been around for a long time but had been largely invisible and given the forces of medical technology, globalization, diversity, and the hard-won sanctioning of same sex marriage, the nuclear model of the family has exploded. Across the country, loving parents are creating unconventional families and, in the process, changing the very nature of conceiving a child. In MODERN FAMILIES: Stories of Extraordinary Journeys to Kinship , Joshua Gamson, Professor of Sociology at the University of San Francisco, maps the large, complex terrain of the modern kinship and presents a personal, intimate account of social change from the inside out. He brings us extraordinary family creation tales—his own included—that illuminate this changing world of contemporary kinship. These tales are deeply personal but also unavoidably political. Combining personal memoir and ethnographic storytelling, Modern Families tells a variety of unconventional family-creation tales—adoption and assisted reproduction, gay and straight parents, coupled and single, and multi-parent families—set against the social, legal, and economic contexts in which they were made. Ξ More and more people rarely look up and actually talk with and engage other people. When was the last time you disconnected in order to reconnect with your offline life … your REAL LIFE? Peak performance educator Gina Kloes contends in her new book, What’s Your Magical Moment?: Disconnect to Reconnect with Real Life that in order to thrive beyond this hectic, fast-paced, demanding life, we need to relearn how to stop and smell the roses. In her book, Gina Kloes teaches how to step back from the virtual technology of the modern world to pause, find meaning, get clarity, experience joy and rediscover experiences that illuminate a person’s life. These are the “Magical Moments” that people are missing in their lives because they are too connected to technology and goals focused on doing having and being more. So much so, they are disconnected from their surroundings. Ξ It’s a well-worn cliché – “follow your heart.” But Gail Harris believes it’s advice more people should follow if they want to make the right choices in life. “I believe there is an order to this crazy life and it’s a good order,” says Harris, co-author with Brandi Rarus of the book Finding Zoe: A Deaf Woman’s Story of Identity, Love, and Adoption. www.gailharrrisauthor.com “Each of us is here to fulfill our unique potential in life, which we realize by trusting our own inner wisdom.” Harris, a teacher of the intuitive process, honed her philosophy from personal experience and honoring her own intuition. She lived for two years at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, Mass., where she studied yoga and meditation. She says too often people ignore what their heart – or intuition – tells them, and don’t see how their life is unfolding exactly as it should.
