Hail Mary

In her first book, the popular From the Front Porch podcast host and independent bookstore owner challenges the idea that loud lives are the ones that matter most, reminding us that we don't have to leave the lives we have in order to have the lives of which we've always dreamed.This paperback edition includes an exclusive letter from Annie and two bonus chapters. Can life be an adventure, even when it’s just . . . ordinary?Annie B. Jones always assumed adulthood would mean adventure: a high-powered career; life in a big, bustling city; and travels to far-flung places she’d longed to see. But her reality turned out differently. As the years passed, Annie was still in the same small town running an independent bookstore —the kind of life Nora Ephron dreamed.During that time, she hosted friends’ goodbye parties and mailed parting gifts; wrote recommendation letters and wished former shop staffers well. She stayed in her small town, despite her love of big cities; stayed in her marriage to the guy she met when she was eighteen; and she stayed at her bookstore while the world outside shifted steadily toward digital retailers. And she stayed loyal to a faith she sometimes didn’t recognize.After ten years, Annie realized she might never leave. But instead of regret, she had an epiphany. She awakened to the gifts of a quiet life spent staying put.In Ordinary Time, Annie challenges the idea that loud lives matter most. Rummaging through her small-town existence, she finds hidden gifts of humor and hope from a life lived quietly. Staying, can itself be a radical act. It takes courage to stay in the places we’ve always called home, Annie argues, as she paints a portrait of possibility far away from thriving metropolises and Monica Gellar-inspired apartments.We’ve long been encouraged to follow our dreams, to pack up and move to new places and leave old lives—and past selves—behind. While there is beauty in these kinds of adventures, Ordinary Time helps us see ourselves right where we are: in the middle of messy, mundane lives, maybe not too far from where we grew up. We don’t have to leave to find what we yearn—we can choose to stay, celebrating and honoring our ordinary lives, which might turn out to be bigger and better than we ever imagined.&nbsp;

Lessons Learned While Staying Put

Ordinary Time

Now in paperback! Lauren Wesley Wilson, businesswoman and founder and CEO of ColorComm Corporation uncovers the skills that women of color need to know to reach leadership positions. What do you need? This question, as simple as it is powerful, is not often asked of women of color. But the answer to this question could be the difference between dreaming of a successful life and actually living one. As founder and CEO of ColorComm Corporation, Lauren Wesley Wilson has been at the forefront of empowering women to become leaders and changemakers in business. At age 25, Lauren founded ColorComm, which began as an informal networking luncheon series and has since evolved into a multimillion-dollar communications company. Like any successful venture, your career needs a strategic plan; and that starts by determining where you want to go and what you need to get there. A fundamental piece of developing that vision is the crucial question that ColorComm has long asked its community: What do you need?In her groundbreaking book, Lauren reveals the unwritten rules that women of color need to know in order to succeed in the workplace. Drawing from her own career experiences, Lauren shares the playbook you'll need to advance to the C-Suite. Whether you are a woman of color seeking to thrive in the workplace or an ally committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can excel, What Do You Need? is your indispensable road map to understanding, supporting, and empowering women of color in their careers. What Do You Need? is a reminder that by understanding each other's needs we can build bridges that lead us toward a more equitable and inclusive society, all while enjoying the journey up the ladder to success.

How Women of Colour Can Take Ownership of Their Careers to Accelerate Their Path to Success

What Do You Need?

There is much more women can do to protect themselves from the rougher side of life—other than kicking and punching
 Protective Offense (the focus of this book) is where self-defense meets common sense, where self-awareness, situational awareness, strategy, and problem solving coincide. Protective Offense is a new paradigm of empowerment for women who want to revel in the chess game of life, dismantle anxiety, see conflict as opportunity, and raise engaged, resilient children who won’t become victims (or criminals).
 Protective Offense is the culmination of thirty years of study in the martial arts and self-defense. It is a contribution to the overall project of equality, safety, and dynamic living for women and families. Fighting is only one tenth of self-defense, but it hoards ninety percent of the spotlight. There is so much more women can do to protect themselves. 
 Expect to learn how to:
<ul>
<li>Break down the process of violent crime</li>
<li>Stay off the criminal radar</li>
<li>Connect intimately to your intuition so you can it use without guilt</li>
<li>Recognize the signs of emotionally abusive people</li>
<li>Recognize some of the tells and tricks of violent criminals</li>
<li>Respond as early as possible&nbsp;to a confrontation by multiple attackers</li>
<li>Understand how weapons are used and what you can do if confronted by one</li>
<li>Maintain your cool and&nbsp;navigate confusion and shock under duress</li>
<li>Know which physical techniques to count on in a fight for your life</li>
<li>Know which physical techniques NOT to count on in a fight for your life</li>
<li>Grasp some of the most important legal ramifications of physically protecting yourself against violence</li>
<li>Include specific considerations of parenthood in your self-defense practice</li>
<li>Model an aware and proactive mindset for children</li>
<li>Evaluate self-defense courses&nbsp;and instructors so you can make educated decisions</li>
<li>Think about how to raise children who will never present themselves as unsuspecting victims, or victimize others, and who will act conscientiously if they see something happening</li>
<li>Help to engage and&nbsp;encourage others to reshape women’s self-defense training</li>
</ul>
As a generalization we could say women are more connected to their own mortality. Women are more aware of danger in everyday life than men are. Regardless of the reasons—our biological connection to life, that we are smaller, physically weaker, generally have less social or political power than our male counterparts, or that we are often responsible for others—we just worry about safety more often than the average guy. Ask a man how often he thinks about safety or worries about going out alone. Then ask a woman the very same questions.
 Self-defense for women is not and should not be taught the same as self-defense for men.
