Working as a stripper and escort is anything but easy. You are often treated like a living blow-up doll and a therapist simultaneously. It's a life that many judge easily...until you know more. Sita Kaylin, a California native who's been in the sex industry since nineteen ninety-two, has lived the pitfalls of being naked in front of strangers and the absurdities that arise when you fake intimacy for a living. She left home when she was sixteen, worked hard at several jobs and eventually started college after dropping out of high school. There, a roommate turned her on to stripping, revealing a way out of the crushing financial pressures she felt and her struggles as a pre-law student with very little time or energy to study. She had no idea how wild her journey would become and what a large part of her life it would be. Sita's stories take shape through an often altered, occasionally sarcastic, sometimes illegal, and frequently funny magnifying glass she holds up to not just the sex industry, but also to human needs and desires, modern relationships, mental health, and personal independence. Anything But a Wasted Life is the autobiography of an unconventional path taken by a woman who has rarely said "no" to life.

Writing in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. Not only because I've never written anything before, but also because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year old school girl. Oh well, it doesn't matter. I feel like writing. -Anne Frank The Diary of a Young Girl is a remarkable first-hand account of the life of a holocaust victim, Anne Frank. A young girl in her teenage, Anne, documented her experiences from 1942 to 1944 during the German occupation of the Netherlands. Living in hiding with her family for these tumultuous years, Anne documents not only the upheaval of the dark times but also the plain and simple emotions and views of a teenage girl. This marvelously rendered account is not only a potent reminder of the horrors of the evils perpetrated by humans but also is a vivid and earnest testimonial of the human spirit. "The single most compelling personal account of the Holocaust . . . remains astonishing and excruciating." -The New York Times "How brilliantly Anne Frank captures the self-conscious alienation and naïve self-absorption of adolescence." -Newsday

Los poemas que se recogen en este libro se han ordenado por fecha de creación. Sólo me queda invitarles a pasar al universo del poeta Antonio Rodríguez Lorca.

Si no estás cambiando, no estás creciendo. Así de simple. Los puentes de la vida nace con una sola razón: que a partir de hoy puedas vivir de una mejor manera. ¿Cómo lo sé? Porque fuiste creado por un Dios grande. Sin embargo, debes estar dispuesto a hacer pequeños cambios en tu vida y dejarte guiar.En este libro, a través de sus nueve capítulos, te enseño cómo puedes ir creciendo en lo personal, lo emocional o hasta lo profesional. Para ello, utilizo la metáfora de un puente (cada cual con su propio significado) para explicar cada capítulo. Hablo del ego, del liderazgo, del perdón, de la gratitud, de la humildad, de no rendirse, de los fracasos, de las críticas, de los miedos, de la zona de confort, de los valores, del trabajo en equipo, de la autoconfianza, de las metas, de las decisiones/acciones, de la tenacidad y más.Lo más importante no es leerlo, sino aplicarlo y releerlo cuantas veces sea necesario: aplica, corrige y mejora es una de las fórmulas que tengo para crecer constantemente y te recomiendo hacerlo también.>Hawi H.
