Book Description
The rich life story of the actress who began her career on The Mod Squad but through marriage to music mogul Quincy Jones and later stardom, truly became a woman of her times H er overnight success as Julie Barnes on television's hit The Mod Squad made her an instant fashion icon and the 'it' girl everyone wanted to date. Lipton came of sexual age in the freewheeling California of the early 1970's, but she wasn't just another leggy blonde. Smart and determined-despite a stutter and tough childhood-Lipton struggled for a way to stay connected to her Jewish roots. When she fell in love with Quincy Jones, their biracial marriage made headlines and changed her life. Lipton focused on motherhood and plunged into a passionate, fascinating and sometimes difficult marriage whose supporting cast included some of the greatest music figures of the time, from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson. Later, through her daughters, she befriended a new generation of stars, including Tupac Shakur.

Holds your attention, but not that illuminating.......2007-06-07
Peggy Lipton's BREATHING OUT, if nothing else, will probably hold your attention with her turbulent emotional life, and with details of her numerous affairs. I read the book because I liked the TV series "Mod Squad" when I was growing up, and there is an interesting section here on the making of the show. However, since probably many people will read BREATHING OUT for the same reason I did, perhaps she should have written more here about the series, rather than detailing yet another affair that sheds little light. It's hard to pin down the number of pages on Mod Squad in the book, since it's spread out by digressions, but there's about 20 pages on it. Actually, there really is not a lot here about Hollywood or acting, if that's what you're looking for. Also, the book could have used a little closer editing, as there are numerous cases of vague or puzzling statements that should have been explained further. There is some '60s and '70s feel to all this, with meeting the Beatles, hippie references, and so on, but with all the emotional turmoil Lipton was going through, it reads more like a bad psychedelic trip. She does seem to have matured much in recent years, thank goodness, but when I finally get to see "Mod Squad" again, it will be difficult for me not to obsess about the fact that at the time it was being made, Lipton was "on edge and emotionally unstable," as she puts it (page 128). At least she was honest, but I really wish I had not read about it.
She never finds herself.......2007-04-15
Although her book is written honestly and openly, it is frustrating that Peggy never feels compassion for the many characters in her life, and especially herself. Her spiritual journey in the middle of a flashy kiss and tell does not feel balanced.
I so want her to understand her compulsive, love and sex addicted self, and it is not ever happening, not connecting with people, with spirit, with self. It seems all the ingredients are there, and the puzzle doesn't get put together, bragging about behavior that is dark and un-illuminated. I hope her inner journalist comes out and she writes the amazing book that was meant to be. Peggy breaks through racial barriers, and her profound longing pulls at her only to be a train wreck like the average Hollywood starlet. Doors opening like magic is no blessing in her case.
Was this book an attempt to make a quick buck? If it was, I recent the use of my Guru for that purpose.
Please Peggy, connect the dots, do the work, be your greatness, beauty, and intelligence.
Breathing Out.......2007-02-26
Really enjoyed this book. Purchased it cause I have a copy of her album and love it. Peg is an amazing woman and will always be beautiful.
GREAT.......2006-12-26
I thought this book was fantastic. She really opened up regarding everything in her life. My heart goes out to her during the end of the book especially. I think she lived and is living an exciting life. I really recommend this book to women and young women especially. It's a good tool to learn from some of her mistakes. I think she is a great mother and it shows because both her daughters seem very happy (even though I don't know them personally), and successful. Her youngest one looks so much like her I think. Peggy Lipton is a good egg. :0)
'Breathing Out' with Peggy Lipton.......2006-10-02
I've loved her forever, which for me means from afar since 1968 when first I beheld her. 'Twas that fall when I discovered her living in my television as part of a new hip detective endeavor...Julie, Pete & Linc they were - The Mod Squad. From unforgettable opening music to haunting close and betwixt, mine quite teen sensibilities fixated on fresh faced Peggy Lipton, I being quite enamored of her cool sexiness & sweet innocence, said exudations stirring nascent feelings within me...consumed, formers Batman & Robin were relagated to a lesser pedestal. Thence, television seemed a nice place to linger - so I did - and it occurred to me: what's she's really like, and can I peddle my bicycle to California over the weekend and still get back in time for school Monday? (spelled c-r-u-s-h). I never found out as I fell off my bike that Friday but the burning question remained; now, 37+ years later I've an idea after reading 'Breathing Out'. As such I'm sad and a bit disappointed - the former for her and the latter for me - yet still smitten & to reference her via a late 60's song "I Love You More Today Than Yesterday".
'Breathing Out' is a well written summation of highlights & low in Peggy's life, put to slightly more than 300 pages which make for a non-tedious interesting read. As to content it will likely appeal to those who remember her from her late 60's early 70's heyday (this encompasses a large portion of baby boomers of which she herself is one) and provides insight into the burning question `what's she like?' that I pined over decades before. A picture emerges as she illuminates her life from birth to date and offers insights on family & extended family, abuses and excuses, seeking (answers & fulfillment) and keeping (quiet), friends, lovers & affairs, self-analysis, girl to woman & the plural of each, likewise boys unto men, modeling to acting, emptiness to ecstasy, (self) medicinal adventures & preference in sustenance, love and loss, children, crises & more...the book literally speaks volumes.
That for better or worse she is not Julie Barnes of Mod Squad per se if perhaps a bit more like Norma Jennings from Twin Peaks shouldn't really come as a surprise for watching a performer is not to `know' them apart from said of course. To that point 'Breathing Out' made this reviewer wish he could have rescued Peggy Lipton at various stages in her life because, apart from the aspect (conscious, inferred or via conclusions drawn) that she has been a typical pampered star in some ways and an admitted narcissist at times (par for the Hollywood landscape), she comes across as a genuinely sympathetic figure, one to whom comfort from her demons and indeed herself at times presented itself as the fervent hope of this reviewer...yet another example of fame, fortune and fun NOT being the end all, be all to finding contentment. Having said as much this is not to imply she was helpless or too compliant nee the blameless bystander, for the thought of putting a foot or 10 in the backsides of certain more worldly yet just as ungrounded persons than she who entered her sphere and vice versa has merit; yet alternately it is also worth thinking she might have benefited had her lovely backside borne the brunt of same on occasion.
What exactly does it say about her and why did she write the book? That is in the eye of the beholder of course, but as to cause and effect one possibility about the gist of her struggles is that without diminishing the specter of the abuse she references, her feelings (perceived or real) of isolation from both parents and the general family modus operandi if you will were also perhaps part and parcel of her seeming endless search for herself, not unlike most folks who should admit that the destination (happiness) is always just ahead in a place called satisfaction - but the pathway is in reality a road that never ends. Leonard Nimoy penned his cathartic 'I Am Not Spock' to plead and affirm what wasn't, the flipside of which is that what we learn from Peggy Lipton is who she was & was not, and who & why she is today; hopefully for her this knowledge won is closer to sufficient than was previously the case.
The `fantasy' as it were dies hard for fans of entertainers too...we tend to put them on pedestals only to learn (mostly without fail) that their feet are at least as clayish as our own. Yet, in this book the image emerges of a real person and not merely a tinsel town creation nee cardboard cutout. As such I enjoyed following Peggy Lipton's journey & conclude I've still got a c-r-u-s-h on her. Breathing Out. Five stars. Highly recommended.

Beat ing sress, without beating yoursel.......2007-04-10
As the third of Tom's books, Three Deep Breaths is a refinement of the others. Readers who are familiar with Aikido, as well as those who are not, will appreciate the simplicity of the parable.
I have recommended it to family, friends and co-workers.
Simple? Yes. Too good to be true? No.......2007-04-10
This is a great story! Using a parable-like format, Tom Crum has identified "every person's" delimma...finding balance in a world that seems to be spinning out of control. We often look for solutions outside ourselves, while Tom reminds us that the real answer to our time-challenged life resides within us. Our task is to delve inward to determine what is of greatest value. The three deep breath concept is a simple, yet powerful tool that helps the mind and spirit settle down. In doing so, we are able to clear the clutter, see our best self emerge, and focus on possibilites that are aligned with our intrinsic needs and lifelong desires. Give the book (and the breaths) a chance. You'll be glad you did -- and so will the people you live and work with.
Earnest But Naive.......2007-03-29
With stress levels at an epidemic high and businesses shelling out more than $300 billion a year, businessman/corporate speaker/marshal arts expert Thomas Crum offers a technique for coping with anxiety. Breathing, to be exact.
Written with very simplistic prose as a parable about a businessman who learns Crum's breathing system and thus changes his entire life, this new age tome supposedly teaches people how to achieve a "centered state" using three simple breaths. It's earnest, but naive. If only life's problems were so easily solved! Unfortunately, this book reads far too much like an infomercial to have broad appeal.
Improving Focus While Reducing Stress.......2007-01-11
This is an outstanding book! The story helps the reader to see the benefits of adopting the Three Deep Breaths as part of their daily regimen. As for me, I have begun using the technique described in the book to improve my ability to focus during bowling events. The results have been fantastic; I have won a tournament and placed second in another by using the three breaths to reduce stress and stay focused on my goal. I bowled my first 279 during a qualifying event because of the second breath. I look forward to my first 300 and am confident that the Three Deep Breaths will be a factor in that accomplishment.
Powerful in its simplicity.......2007-01-09
What a great book. I love how the author takes a simple parable that we can all relate to and breaks it down into 3 simple steps (and breaths) we can come back to anytime, anyplace to breathe in the person we really want to BE.
Book Description
Writers both new and experienced will appreciate [Fletcher's] clear and straightforward advice on how a writer's notebook can be used to find one's own voice and inner truth.
- KLIATT
Keeping a notebook may be the single best way to survive as a writer. It encourages a greater sensitivity to your world, inside and out. It serves as a haven for new ideas until they are strong and mature enough to face the harsh light of rational judgment. It gives you a quiet place to catch your breath and begin writing.
Breathing In, Breathing Out is a book for the writer in each one of us, however lost, however buried. Ralph Fletcher takes a probing look into the nature of a writer's notebook, examining what it is, how writers use it, and what makes it tick. You will discover why writers like Naomi Shihab Nye and Dorothy Allison consider their notebooks so important to the work they create. You will also read snippets from Fletcher's notebook, where he reveals the "displayed self" of a writer whose innermost workings he knows best.
To Fletcher, keeping a writer's notebook is as natural an activity as breathing so he has organized his book in a way that illuminates two basic aspects of the process. Breathing In refers to the way the notebook can serve as a receptacle for selected insights, lines, images, dreams, and fragments of conversations. In this way it helps you pay closer attention to your world. Breathing Out is intended to suggest the notebook as an ideal place to use what you have collected and spark your own original writing.
This book is for new writers as well as those who may have once loved to write but have lost the spark along the way. It will help you find a natural rhythm for using a notebook and in the process start living the life of a writer.

simple basic reminders.......2007-04-11
i already keep several writing journals in various locations. They all come in handy at inconvient times, driving, showering sleeping and hiking, but gratly needed in case my brain is poor at recall. Much is common sense as writers should already be noticing the world aroud them and all that detail has to offer. our writing group has selected this book to help jog our memories for the basic simple reminders that are important and those which are not. A great read for a beginning writer. Take notes along the way, don't be afraid to underline and make notes on the edge of the pages as you read. Enjoy the exercises.
A good resource for writers........2000-05-02
The only thing I didn't like about this book was the price. A writer's notebook, or what I refer to as a writer's journal, is where ideas are born. The author shows you how to capture those ideas, fertilize them, and grow them into real live pieces worth publishing. An excellent book that includes excerpts from several writer's journals, including the author's.

Well researched and truthful portrayal of Southern blacks.......2006-05-05
Jordan has penned a well researched and accurate portrayal of non-white sentiment during the War Between the States, most refreshing in this politically correct era when some want to revise history. Painting the Confederacy as an entirely racist nation and all CSA soldiers as slavery fighters not only does a disservice to the men in arms, but to the thousands of "Confederates of Color" who served the southern cause with weapons and support from 1861-1865. The rebel gray clothed many shades of skin, and Jordan has brought their contributions to history, as well as to the southern cause, to the attention of a new era. An excellent, well written addition to the historian's or buff's library.
Good research, unfinished analysis.......2005-03-06
Jordan is to be congratulated for his wide-ranging research and for taking steps to address historical issues that tread on politically correct toes. Unfortunately, this is not a finished work of history. It is perfunctorily written, and the chapters are poorly organized. It contains some excellent information, but it is not a book for the casual reader or even the casual Civil War buff.
The antebellum South, and the Confederacy it spawned, was a complex place -- 9 million individuals, white and black, whose support of, opposition to, or acceptance of slavery and secession stemmed from a thousand different motives. If one can generalize about the slave South, it is to say that an attitude of white supremacy and black inferiority prevailed among its white citizens (as it did in the North); and that African-Americans, both slave and free, who lived in the slave states were subjected to a stifling degree of legal control by slave owners and state governments. Jordan goes over these two major points -- already familiar to students of the era -- in the first section of the book, "Uncertain Trumpet." The breadth of his research is commendable, but his technique of relating it is a bit numbing; a string of paragraphs, each a topic sentence and several redundant supporting anecdotes, is hardly historical analysis, much less a readable narrative. Some of the anecdotes are powerful -- e.g., a slave mother is haunted by the sound of her owner's piano, purchased with the proceeds from the sale of the slave's daughter -- and the author would have done better to concentrate on those, to examine their meaning more closely.
The most controversial parts of the book are in the second half ("Give Us a Flag") and deal with black Virginians who served the Confederate cause either by taking up arms in its defense or voluntarily supporting the white soldiers who did. As have many other authors (including Confederate apologists who continue to deny that the Civil War and the Confederacy were essentially about slavery and racism), Jordan cites numerous anecdotes about black Virginians fighting with Rebel forces or serving as cooks, teamsters, servants, musicians, laborers, and in other noncombatant roles in the Confederate armies and government. He also supplies a fair amount of anecdotal evidence for a deep split among white Southerners over the propriety of arming slaves. Even as the Confederacy was sliding to destruction in the spring of 1865, many whites were adamantly opposed to the tardy steps taken by the Confederate congress to organize black fighting units. This ongoing opposition from all corners of the Confederacy -- not to mention the overall pattern of racism and subjugation of blacks in Civil War America -- calls into serious question the value of the anecdotal evidence often cited to "prove" widespread African-American support for the Southern cause, because it implies widespread white gratitude for this support. Examining this topic alone would have been a worthwhile book. As other reviewers here state, Jordan could have done a much more thorough job in testing this anecdotal evidence.
There seems to be little question that some African-Americans supported the Confederate war effort, including military service, even before 1865. But to what extent? To what military effect? Did the arming of some slaves, or the volunteering of some blacks for military or quasi-military duty, have any widespread impact on the racial and political attitudes of white Southerners? Were these "Afro-Confederates" genuine Southern patriots, or infrequent exceptions to the repressive laws of racism and slavery, or simply black men and women who sought to ingratiate themselves with their white owners and the white community? These are questions that Jordan raises in this book, and that's a start. I hope he'll spend some time and a couple of other books trying to answer them.
Being Black in the South.......2003-12-27
It appears that a lot of people had a knee-jerk reaction to the title of Professor Jordan's book. This is far from an Apologia for the Confederacy. It is a very well researched and documented account of Black Experience in Civil War Virginia.
While working on my own family history I have been doing an analysis of the 1810 Federal Census for Spotsylvania County. What stands out is the number of Free Black households headed by women. In our politically correct age we tend to over-look the fact that in Colonial and pre-war Virginia, women and children owned property, and that the courts vigorously protected their property rights from husband and estate seekers. In both white and black households in Spotsylvania County, one out of six were headed by women.
Rumors, fallacies and false conclusions.......2003-08-03
It is exceedingly sad, at this late date to see such a collection of rumor and false conclusions promoted as truth. Yes, indeed, slaves went to war with the Confederate army-but as cooks, teamsters, laborers and personal servants. That did not make them SOLDIERS. Where are the rosters and muster rolls? Anyone who has done even minimal research into the Civil War and Confederate use of Blacks knows that it was illegal to enlist them in the military until just weeks before Appomatox, when desperation made Davis yield to pressure from his generals and cabinet. NO REGIMENT OF BLACK CONFEDERATES was ever fielded!
There is so much half-truth and misinformation in this book, it should be pulled from every shelf in every home, library and bookstore. It is hype, it is terrible-from the AFRO-YANKEES in the title to the last page. Avoid it at all costs, there are far too many better books out there
Newsflash: Virginney Slaves Abducted by UFOs!.......2001-05-10
Ervin L. Jordan's "Black Confederates and Afro-Yankees" is a sad example of how sloppy analysis and writing can make you very, very famous.
Jordan attempts to provide the reader with a well-rounded understanding of the lives of African-Americans (henceforth "Negroes" in the parlance of the time) living in Virginia at the time of the Civil War. The results, however, are mortally wounded by the author's inability to correctly evaluate evidence, or to remain mindful of terminology.
The damage is almost immediate, when Jordan begins to use such terms as Afro-Virginians and Afro-Confederates. These terms hinder the understanding of the text for several reasons. First, it muddies the meaning of events, since the reader is often unsure whether the text refers to freemen, slaves or both. Second, it implies something that the Negroes did not have: citizenship within the state or in the rebellion. Most Negroes were slaves and were no more a citizen than a horse or a plow. The freeman had no right of citizenship; they didn't even have the automatic right to residency in Virginia. Other bizarre terms are created by the author. One particularly amazing howler is one page 241, when the author claims Richmonders wanted "Afro-Virginians" for its -- no kidding -- "New Model Biracial Army."
But these problems are just the beginning. Lead sentences--often making bold declarations--are followed by text that do not support the author's conclusion. Paragraphs contradict each other. It appears that the author had done tremendous research and, instead of withdrawing minor or contradictory material, he jammed it all in and tried desperately to make it all consistent. He failed. Interspersed are Negro spirituals which the author cannot confirm as associated with the described events.
Poor source choices abound, as when the author cites a London paper that Davis considered arming slaves as early as 1862. This is obviously a poor source for intimate details of what was underway in the Confederate government, and is contradicted by available primary sources. Indeed, the entire sections dealing with alleged "Afro-Confederate soldiers" is based upon, in most cases, second-hand reports, reports obviously false (as when two nonexistent black Confederate regiments were allegedly involved in at the battle of Seven Pines) and folklore. The author provides numerous "sightings" of black Confederate "soldiers." I can find an equal number of persons who claimed they were abducted by UFOs. Claims do not make it so. Missing are solid facts: Where are the rosters? How could these combat units exist when it was forbidden to have Negroes in the ranks or for Negroes to own or bear arms?
Being a slave in service to the Confederacy does not make one a Confederate any more than being a slave to the Third Reich makes one a Nazi. Impressed and oppressed, the Negroes of Virginia in most cases could not be Confederates because they were not offered any choice in the matter. Jordan seems to have missed this point.
I cannot recommend this book. It's poor construction and hapless conclusions cannot help us understand how our African-American population responded in the South. The reviewer can recommend, as an alternative to this book, "The Gray and the Black" by Robert F. Durden which provides an excellent account of the debate among major Confederate figures over whether to arm their slaves.
