{"product_id":"in-the-arc-of-the-bow-loving-my-life-past-present-future","title":"In the Arc of the Bow: Loving my Life: Past, Present, Future","description":"In 1996, when she left her English teaching position in Kazakhstan, Diane Bemel never expected to return to Central Asia. Then, 13 years later, she found herself on the Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan, once again to teach English. These two experiences strengthened her long-held presumption that everything that happens in life has a lesson, a gift or an opportunity to help us discover and fulfill our life’s purpose. Our job is to pay attention and face that life with courage, humility and humor….and perhaps an archer’s bow and a quiver full of arrows.\n\nIn her memoir, she demonstrates how indispensable her yoga meditation practice has been to guide her through life’s twists and turns. The book is divided into three parts:\n\nPart I: Growing up\nThe two most important days of your life: the day you were born and the day you find\nout why. Mark Twain\n\nPart II: Family and career\nTo succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.\nReba McIntire\n\nPart III: Awakening\nInner stability is gained by contemplating a luminous, sorrowless, effulgent light.\nPatanjali\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0CPX4CPCK\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0CPX4CPCK.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bemel, Ms. Diane Lynn\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
