Personal Memoir Reveals a Story of Trials and Success of an Unwanted Orphan
Posted: November 12, 2012 at 11:45 am
Author Lester Morris writes his experiences as an English orphan who, against all odds, survives and triumphs.
Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 12, 2012
From its beginnings in Woburn Green west of London, Morriss story lurches downward, as he is bounced from one orphanage to the next, at a time when vicious corporal punishment was the norm. Worst of all was his time with the foster mother who calls Teeth. (Hers is the only picture in the book.) All this leads to his biggest disappointment of all, a meeting with his cold-hearted, thieving dad.
Despite all this, the reader is left with a great sense of joy and relief at the end of the book as Morris joins the British army, and matures sexually after many false starts. One only has to look at the picture of the affable, bearded gentleman on the back cover of the book to realize that, with everything stacked against him, Lester Morris ultimately triumphed. He turned himself into a warm-hearted, caring and humorous gentleman, the very opposite of all the masters and matrons. and his deadbeat dad. He is now enjoying a comfortable retirement as an author, living in Austin, Texas. And at Christmas time, he is in great demand in the city as Santa Claus sometimes even delivering gifts to orphans in the area.
The book will make readers laugh and cry, and they will be unable to put down Morriss story. It speaks about growing up without a home and the love of a family and is written as he speaks from the heart.
Comments author/editor Denniger Bolton: The Violets Are Mine is reminiscent of Charles Dickens or Angelas Ashes, but (Morris) has added a twista much needed sense of humor.

The inside easily stores an extra pair of socks, two 5-pound weights, a quart-sized water bottle, a hand towel, and my wallet, keys, and phone. I usually have lots of extra room to spare. The bungee cord is great for toting your mat, though you do have to work a little to get your mat in and out. That #39;s as close as this product gets to something negative, in my book. It #39;s nice to have a bag that can hold workout essentials AND a mat. The bag is also versatile enough to be used for other things, as I recently used it as a carry-on airplane item, and it worked great." "I love this bag! It is stylish, and very very funtctional. I #39;ve had it only for a little while but it is really durable (aka teenage proof) I really do. It fits my yoga towel, water bottle, my yogi toes hot yoga mat, magazines, and has pockets so I can fit my keys, and whatever else. BUT my one and only complaint is that my water bottle must go on the inside it won #39;t fit in the water bottle pockets on the side (which are great for cellphones btw)" "Awesome bag, plenty of room to fit change of clothes and other items that you may need to carry to class.Nice material both inside and out...would definitely recommend :0)" Product Description Gaiam Bag Everything ...From:loan luceroViews:0 0ratingsTime:00:53More inSports

These are useful for a few poses, and I wanted something similar for home practice. But I could not justify purchasing a "foam" brick, since these are actually made of plastic that is really nasty in terms of manufacturing. I don #39;t want to put my money towards that. Obviously the world does not need more plastic crap that will end up in a landfill.So I bought this one. It #39;s more substantial than a typical foam brick - slightly larger and heavier, without being unwieldy. I have small hands and I do not find it to be too large. As an added bonus, I find the surface of this block to be slightly less slippery than the foam blocks, always useful for when your hands get sweaty.I #39;m very happy with this purchase." "I love these cork yoga blocks for my home practice. They #39;re a little heavy, so probably not so good if you #39;re planning on taking them to yoga class." "Great block. Very substantial in weight compared to foam blocks. Stays in place well during asanas. Just plain looks good, too. Worth the cost."

This bag is perfect in that you can fit a yoga mat, a light jacket, water bottle and sandals all in the bag itself. It has 2 pockets, one on the outside and one on the inside for your wallet, keys, etc. I did notice a couple of reviewers say that you can fit 2 yoga mats in the bag which is true but you won #39;t have any room for anything else. One reviewer also mentioned that a zipper would be better than the magnetic buttons that hold the bag closed. I actually find the 3 magnetic buttons to be very useful because it makes it very easy to get your yoga mat in and out of the bag. Plus you don #39;t need to worry about the zipper getting stuck or anything. Overall a great bag for function and value!" "I love this yoga bag! It is machine washable and therefore easy to clean. It also snaps fully open, so I can easily put my extra long, extra thick, sticky yoga mat in the bag. It #39;s plenty big to toss my towel, tee, and water bottle on top of my oversized mat. Plus the outside, zippered pocket is great for keeping my keys, wallet and cell handy."

Mari #39;s personality is not as obnoxious as other instructors it got my heartrate up. The movements are dance-inspired and left me with the same wonderful "stretched-out" feeling of traditional pilates. My only gripe is that Mari doesn #39;t seem to cue as well as some of her other videos which was hard on me and my two left feet at times. Overall, I found it to be enjoyable and seemed effective as well, especially by adding the light weights." "I love Mari Winsor and have a variety of her Pilates DVD workouts. I knew when I ordered this was not Pilates but thought I would give it a try. I have some back injuries and knew when I watched the DVD that I would not be able to do this as it was a little higher impact than my back can stand. I thought the equipment included was of good quality and the program is sound. I gave this to my daughter to use." "The person below is correct its NOT pilates, I bought this only for the small hand weights, I DID NOT want a pilates DVD. I did pop in the DVD and was happy to see it wasn #39;t bad at all, you do NOT sit on the floor with this, its more of a simple aerobic workout. I am uncoordinated, and this is on of the first workouts I have been able to follow."

Since Bikram (hot) yoga gets rather moist, rather quickly, and you use a towel to cover your mat anyway, there #39;s no need to worry about slipping (on the mat that is, the carpet/ground is another story). I just wish it were slightly thicker, but my small complaint there is completely overshadowed by its wonderful other qualities. Knowing that its not sucking up grody, disgusting, bacteria-ridden sweat 🙂 is such a great feeling. This is overall an excellent mat." Product Description Gaiam Yoga Perfect for the yogi who is equally passionate about planet and practice, our Suddha Eco Mat is constructed of TPE mdash; a sustainable material that #39;s 100% recyclable and 100% biodegradable.
