Reclaim Your Hero: Transform Your Pain into Power and thrive. Numquam Deficio (Never Quit) by Mathew Grace

As first responders and military we are the heroes for everyone else. We are first on the scene to emergencies at home and abroad.

So what then do we do when we are drowning and searching for breath?
What do we do when we can't escape the shadow that follows us in the sun and the darkness?
What do we do when our world is spinning out of control and our world is falling apart?

I know this world. I lived under the rough seas and the shadow of PTS(D) for 10 years. As a Navy Rescue Swimmer with service in the special operations community and as a firefighter, I embraced the suck! It took me 10 years to discover what is embraced, embraces you back. I wrote this book to share my journey and show you it is possible to reclaim fun, fitness and fortitude. It is possible to come out from under the shadow and the depths.

It is possible to Reclaim Your Hero and transform your pain into power and thrive. Numquam Deficio! Never quit! Hooyah!

Eat Beat Sleep Repeat: a FIFO Life by Amos O’Henry

About Featured Book: Eat Beat Sleep Repeat: a FIFO Life by Amos O’Henry

“Eat Beat Sleep Repeat: a FIFO Life” is a memoir describing life and experiences as a Fly In Fly Out (FIFO) worker in the oil and gas industry, from trainee to fifteen-year veteran. My career – so far – has included stints on four offshore facilities and one major onshore LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) project. I currently work on the World’s largest floating object which I helped build in South Korea over a three year period. These experiences have been unique in many ways, but are conveyed in a very human way. I was not interested in writing a technical book, a history of the industry, or an environmental tome of monumental importance. This is just a story of my life as a FIFO worker during one of the busiest and most interesting times in the industry, particularly Australia.

I believe that a large amount of “normal” people are very interested in this lifestyle, apart from the 150,000 plus FIFO workers based in Australia, Canada and elsewhere. It also openly and honestly describes my descent into depression, sometimes so bad I wanted to suicide. FIFO can be hard. FIFO is a different life altogether, it comes with its own issues and problems, from distances travelled, the method of getting there, fatigue, dangerous conditions, depression, anxiety, separation from family and The World, huge relationship hurdles, as well as the concept of being trapped by the lifestyle and the large salaries, the Golden Handcuffs as we call it. In fact, this book is a study of Australian working culture in many ways with all its blemishes.

The lifestyle is not for everyone, especially offshore, and many people have crashed and burned in the time I have been in the job. We do a minimum of 12 hour days, 7 days a week, up to 28 days straight, sometimes longer when storms hit or choppers fail. At the same time a lot of us get paid well and we get decent breaks when we spend that money we earn. And we work with some of the best people on the planet, even if the Companies and their management structures leave a lot to be desired. I hope you enjoy it and find it interesting.

Precious Silver Chopsticks by Mae Adams

Precious Silver Chopsticks by Mae Adams

Precious Silver Chopsticks is a real-life story, a kaleidoscopic tapestry interwoven with threads of the lives of these family members:
Grandpa, a descendant of a Chinese imperial scholar and a Korean princess, was a landlord, herbal medicine doctor, a Christian minister, and a Kung Fu instructor.
Grandma, a commoner, and ex-sea-diver raised Mae and gave her the silver chopsticks to symbolize her love.
Father, a prodigy and a musician, suffered from tuberculosis.
Mother, the daughter of a nobleman, was a college graduate when society considered women as second-class citizens. Her relationship with Mae was stormy.
Little-Pa, a mathematical genius, loved Mae like a father.
Big-Sis, Mae's older sister, was a movie star in the 1950s.
Intaek, Mae's little brother, was a commercial designer-artist.
Mae, the useless second daughter, is the narrator of this book.
A U.S. Marine Colonel, Hewitt Dayne Adams, commanded the First Marine Regiment during the Korean War and later married Mae.
Mae uses ironic humor to tell us about the Korean spirit and culture through her birth and education, her father's death and his funeral, Grandpa's sixtieth birthday, and a Korean wedding that coincides with the Japanese occupation. After World War II, the family escapes to South Korea at the personal loss of Grandma. Her story of the Korean War from a refugee's point of view and survival through the indescribable chaos is vivid and heartbreaking.
The telling of her life story—the good, the bad, and all in truth—was an arduous task that demanded much emotional exertion. Since English is Mae's fourth language, she wrote this book from her heart, out of love and gratitude for her grandma and husband. You will get some insight into other people's lives lived in different corners of our world at another time in history through the journey of this book.
