Author Sam Sekimi has been twice married and twice divorced, and she sees the ends of her two marriages as her biggest failures. She believes the commitment to the meaning behind her marriage vows should be lived out until death. When this did not happen for her, her self-esteem and confidence suffered, and only with time, counseling, and the love of God could she recover. Now, in Life’s Not Fair... But God Is Awesome, Sekimi presents her twenty-one-year journey through the events of her life and the stories she has created along the way. She hopes that through her experiences, challenges, successes, and failures, others may gain the encouragement and confidence they might be lacking. As Sekimi explores marriage, divorce, family, friendships, religion, faith, and death, she includes not only her personal narratives but also some of her original writing, along with lessons learned quotes from those who have touched her life. In this inspirational collection of writing, one woman shares her life story with the goal of inspiring the faith and optimism of others.

Craft practice has experienced a sharp rise in popularity since the late 2000s, partly through the ‘aura of the analogue’ and the desire for authentic, handmade products in an increasingly fast paced, digitalised world (Luckman, 2015) but also because of digital platforms such as Etsy and social media enabling ‘anyone’ to become a craft entrepreneur. This book brings together historical, policy and individual narratives to inform a broad understanding of craft entrepreneurship. Drawing on case studies from around the world, Craft Entrepreneurship considers questions of identity, community, and the digital in craft entrepreneurship. In doing so, it finds craft activities to be positioned between or across the arts, heritage, notions of a bohemian lifestyle and the challenges of micro-entrepreneurship. By engaging with the contradictions and fragility of sustaining a craft practice, the chapters in this book contribute to different perspectives for entrepreneurship studies. The contributions to this volume illustrate the craft entrepreneurs’ identity, motivation and sense of creative purpose through their craft, as these collide with the tensions brought about through entrepreneurship.

Everything except a family—a real gather ’round the kitchen, spend holidays with, get on your nerves, never let you down kind of family. And while her work might keep her financially secure, position and prestige make for a lonely existence. When her job is threatened, Melanie’s world falls apart causing her anxiety to come back with a vengeance. But who do you turn to when you have no one?

My life's journey has been full of adventure, from growing up on a dairy farm in Michigan's Upper Peninsula to living in several cities across the United States. I was divorced, widowed in my second marriage, and have been dealing with medical issues, but through each and every trial, I have had God by my side. I found that there is nothing you can't overcome if you have faith and trust in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. There is no sin that can't be forgiven or challenge you can't overcome if you ask for guidance from the Holy Spirit and trust in our God to bring you through it. All things are possible to those who believe.
