Everyone makes mistakes and the busier you are, the more mistakes you will make. The question however, is "How well and how effectively do you deal with the inevitable ups and downs of life?"Stumbling blocks are a normal part of life in the real world we live in. The bad news is that you cannot avoid these stumbling blocks in this journey of life. The good news however, is that you have the power of choice to decide whether you allow them to be hindrances to your progress or stepping stones to greater heights.Stumbling Blocks are all the things that seek to hinder, obstruct, interfere, undermine, deny, or counteract your progress in life. As the name goes, they are things or forces that seek to make you stumble or trip and possibly fall down or fall off you vision wagon. They are not necessarily meant to stop you unless of course you choose to let them stop you. They come to test your tenacity and resilience in your endeavours and pursuits of life. In this book “TURNING STUMBLING BLOCKS INTO STEPPING STONES”, you will learn how to benefit from your mistakes and how to remain positive in the face of adversity. You will also learn the difference between a positive and negative worldview. This is because there are two ways to look at the world; the Benevolent way or the Malevolent way. People with a malevolent or negative worldview take a victim stance, seeing life as a continuous succession of problems and a process of unfairness and oppression. They do not expect a lot and they do not get much. When things go wrong, they shrug their shoulders and passively accept that this is the way life is and there is not anything they can do to make it better. On the other hand, people with a benevolent or positive worldview see the world around them as filled with opportunities and possibilities. They believe that everything happens as part of a great process designed to make them successful and happy. They approach their lives, their work, and their relationships with optimism, cheerfulness, and a general attitude of positive expectations. They expect a lot and they are seldom disappointed.

Whether in popular culture, academic research, or public consciousness, African American women are often defined by their presumed poverty or lack of education. In this unique antidote to public perception, Kathleen F. Slevin and C. Ray Wingrove focus on the experiences of an unusual group of pioneers: one of the first generations of African American women to work as white-collar professionals, retire in considerable comfort, and remain actively and fruitfully involved, as older women, in their respective communities. Through the voices of these women, we come to understand the impact of social systems on individual lives and to appreciate how the legacies provided these women by their families, teachers, churches, and communities endowed them with the survival tools needed to succeed, despite the prejudice and "stumbling blocks" they encountered along the way. Slevin and Wingrove explore how the lessons of childhood–choosing battles, avoiding hurtful Whites, striving for economic independence, and projecting self-confidence and racial pride–translate to adulthood as they recount the ups and downs of being successful African American women. Kathleen F. Slevin is Associate Professor of Sociology at the College of William and Mary. C. Ray Wingrove is Professor of Sociology at the University of Richmond.

Continue a life of meaning beyond retirement In 2002, with his business partner, Adam Zuercher, Tony Hixon launched Hixon Zuercher Capital Management—a fee-only wealth management firm. Tony wanted to help clients ensure that they wouldn’t outlive their money—and possibly even have enough saved to accomplish their bucket-list goals. However, after several years of running a numbers-first business and serving his clients well in their financial lives, a family crisis changed his thinking. Tony’s mother retired from her job as the director of a hospice agency, and she quickly fell into a deep depression as she lost her purpose and fulfillment derived from a lifelong career she had been passionate about. On March 22, 2011, Tony’s mother tragically took her own life. After this life-changing tragedy, Tony made it his goal to help pre-retirees not repeat the mistakes his mom made as she transitioned from her career into retirement. You need a plan for both your finances and your lifestyle. Retirement Stepping Stones will help ensure that your retirement brings you pleasure, serenity of mind, and the enjoyment of a life well-lived. That your transition is from success to significance. That you find a newfound hope and a newfound purpose. That retirement brings you your best years.
