  • Rise & RUN: A Daily Devotional to Running Your Best Life

    C Hadnott Publishing

    Every day you make the conscious decision to rise out of the bed and hit the ground running—or sometimes it can be a jog, walk or even just stand still. Waking up daily in a highly digitized world, it can be easy to set unrealistic paces, run in someone’s lane and or run a race that you never registered for. It can seem impossible to keep the pace, push through the pain, or find the route. Figuring out how to perform at your peak potential may feel elusive. Honestly, operating at your fullest…

    Every day you make the conscious decision to rise out of the bed and hit the ground running—or sometimes it can be a jog, walk or even just stand still. Waking up daily in a highly digitized world, it can be easy to set unrealistic paces, run in someone’s lane and or run a race that you never registered for. It can seem impossible to keep the pace, push through the pain, or find the route. Figuring out how to perform at your peak potential may feel elusive. Honestly, operating at your fullest capacity is attainable.

    You can learn to embrace the detours, the lactate acid that may build up in your life, the lack of available water stations, the side stitch that decides to show up unexpectedly and the blister that forming on your right big toe--by incorporating some habits into your life. Sometimes living up to your full potential is just about deciding to lace up your sneakers and walk out of the house and exercising your muscles through prayer, meditation, affirmations, journaling, and goal-setting.

    Rise & RUN is meant to be a part of your training toolkit to successful impact how you decide to show up and run your life—equipping you to go the distance in the race that has been divinely design for you. This daily devotional is the warm-up to you running your best in life.

  • The Finish Line was Just the Start: A Marathon Runner's Memoir of Relentless, Resilience & Renewal

    C. Hadnott Publishing

    Behind every dope woman is one hell of a story. From the highly-decorated marathon runner, who races in a strand of pearls and red lipstick, an inspiring, motivating and amazingly candid story displaying full transparency of how she got there, what she encountered along the way
    and who she became in the process.

    In 2004, there was an accident that changed the trajectory of Crystal Hadnott’s life. It would be the fork in the road of her life’s journey that lead her into a direction…

    Behind every dope woman is one hell of a story. From the highly-decorated marathon runner, who races in a strand of pearls and red lipstick, an inspiring, motivating and amazingly candid story displaying full transparency of how she got there, what she encountered along the way
    and who she became in the process.

    In 2004, there was an accident that changed the trajectory of Crystal Hadnott’s life. It would be the fork in the road of her life’s journey that lead her into a direction that would give birth to her passion and mold her purpose along with some other miraculous experiences mixed with life altering hardships. But there was a time when Crystal’s body attacked her with Graves' Disease and her mental was consumed with depression. The naysayers thought that she should just quit the sport. In 2016, she was struggling harder than any other point in her life with the grief of her mother, the grief of her child, the grief of the body she once knew, the grief of her business, with her running career at a crossroad. At this crossroad, she also found her awakening and things begin to change—the universe begin to flow in her direction and she found her way to a new journey of alignment and atonement.

    This candid reflection on a remarkable birth into purpose through tragedy will take readers inside the life of a marathon runner and inside the mind of an athlete who willed herself to perform at the highest levels of competition in her physical, mental and spiritual life.

    We may not all be marathoners, but we are all running this race called life.

  • Patient Satisfaction among Native Americans and other Minority Groups: Effects of Patient-Physician Match on Ethnic Origin & Cultural Similarity

    Race, Gender, Class Journal

    Abstract
    As this country witnesses the most sweeping changes to health care delivery in over forty years, little attention has been paid to the wants and needs of minority ethnic groups, and arguably all proposed solutions have targeted middle and upper class Caucasians. With this study, the authors present the attitudes of a frequently forgotten group related to their choice of an "ideal" physician. A survey instrument measured four variables (professionalism, competence, cultural…

    Abstract
    As this country witnesses the most sweeping changes to health care delivery in over forty years, little attention has been paid to the wants and needs of minority ethnic groups, and arguably all proposed solutions have targeted middle and upper class Caucasians. With this study, the authors present the attitudes of a frequently forgotten group related to their choice of an "ideal" physician. A survey instrument measured four variables (professionalism, competence, cultural similarity, and humaneness) representing what minorities looked for in a physician. For the purpose of this study, researchers studied Lumbee Indians in the particular. The results were similar to those in other minority ethnic groups...

  • The Consequences and Public Policy Implications of Welfare Reform: A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Welfare Reform Policy

    Journal of Business and Economics Research

    Abstract
    Welfare reform has been the recurrent subject of heated debate in the United States, culminating in far-reaching legislation in 1996. Taking the measure of that legislation requires attention both to the broader context of which welfare policy is a part and to the merits of the 1996 law itself. Ultimately, the success or failure of welfare reform, which evoked a great deal of partisan rhetoric, will be assessed on empirical rather than partisan grounds. It cannot be determined…

    Abstract
    Welfare reform has been the recurrent subject of heated debate in the United States, culminating in far-reaching legislation in 1996. Taking the measure of that legislation requires attention both to the broader context of which welfare policy is a part and to the merits of the 1996 law itself. Ultimately, the success or failure of welfare reform, which evoked a great deal of partisan rhetoric, will be assessed on empirical rather than partisan grounds. It cannot be determined merely by changes in the size of welfare caseloads. It is crucial to any piece of legislation to analyze the cost in relations to its benefits. Most importantly, we must ask: What has happened to the families and children who have left the welfare system? Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 is a successful legislation that needs a little troubleshooting, so it will not be the failed anti-poverty prescription...
