I wrote this book because it is a story that needs to be told. This is a story about a young girl, Martha, having to grow up in a world where she has to pay for her grandmother's sin--a sin that her grandmother made at an early age. It well tells how her mother also paid a heavy price for that same sin as she grow up. This book will take you on a ride through time and show you that evil is real in all walks of life. When you think good is at your door, evil will walk right in.Keep a lookout for my next book. It will be about how evil can go from state to state; how Martha has to survive in Chicago at a time when pimping is at its all-time high; and how she has to deal with homelessness, love, lost love, and drugs all because of her grandmother's lies and sin.
Amy loves games almost as much as she loves music. This is a book of games that has music ringing in her ears.Bam!Bam-bam.Boom...Board games. Card games. Oh, puzzles too. Games of chance. Mind games. Head games...She's played one game for over a decade, all while listening to music. This has spread out over thirty-three years, which then turns into...nineteen more years. Maybe even more. Who knows?She doesn't know. She has never known.Why?Well, that's because she's lost. Lost... Always.The games follow her. Surround her. They're everywhere. Games she played yesterday, today, and games she's ready to play tomorrow. Each with a lesson. One she never thought she would have to learn...until the whole family packed up one day and moved.From that moment, everything changed, because this move, out of all her other moves, is the one that made her someone she doesn't quite remember.Truthfully, she can't remember much. That's why she writes it down. To remember things. Not everything. She does not want to remember all of it. LOL. There are things that she would like to forget.It's a never-ending issue.Issue. Nope. Plural (s). Issues.All...over the places.For the past twenty-four years, she has raised a family of three boys and a bunch of cats and dogs in between. But this isn't about that completely.She has been put under a microscope by the US government. And she hasn't had a real voice since forever ago.Hmmm...5 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 4 + 2 + 2Anyway, this saga of a story will make you giggle, make you laugh out loud, and maybe make you sad. Maybe not. But she wants somebody to feel what she feels, because that way, she'll know that she's not crazy.What she is...she is happy, sad, mad, glad. Mainly mad. At everyone. Even her mom. That is why she wrote a story of happiness and pain. Frustration and anger. Joy and sorrow. Full of ups and downs, both good and bad. Madness and gladness. And every emotion she has never felt the right way. Or the left way.This book is full of self-discovery and her own personal issues, because she wakes up lost. Lost... Every day. Including yesterday, tomorrow, and at some point, today.Oh, boy. This is the start of everything. Again.Now sit down.Buckle up.And enjoy the ride.

Too secular for church, too much Holy Spirit for polite conversation.If they'd lived in our times, the rich young man in the Bible and Mary Magdalene might have gone to high school together. *****At a flea market one Saturday morning, Thomas Strongtree, a retired woodworker, buys a pack of police-arrest fingerprint cards and mug shots for teenagers detained during the 1970s, '80s, and '90s. As a man who always followed the rules and now battles creeping regret in his later years, Strongtree wonders how their lives may have differed from his own. The "youthful offenders" would now be adults, and he wants to meet them. A lawyer warns Strongtree the project could be dangerous. "If one of those guys turns out to be a judge or a minister, you'd be looking at a world of hurt for the rest of your life." Strongtree does it anyway, and as he talks to the young people, now adults, he hears life stories that echo and expand upon the great parables of the Bible. When his activities threaten to drop him into a legal hornet's nest, he uses knowledge gleaned from a wise police patrolman who resembles the Bible's rich young man and touched all of the young people's lives.From a meeting with a school superintendent in New Jersey to an unforgettable conversation one afternoon and evening on Lake Chautauqua to an encounter with an eighty-one-year-old woman aerospace engineer, this book will leave readers reflecting on their own struggles, triumphs, regrets, and joys as they journey alongside Strongtree on his exceptional quest.

"We don't get involved with the prevention of crime. This is not our job. We are here if he kills you or physically harms you; sorry, we cannot help. I know that he called you 260 times last week and has made 254 photographs of your bedroom windows. But, hey, all this is no hurt to yourself."I was standing in a London police station, not believing my ears. He is doing everything to destroy me and my business, but that is not enough terror I need to be stabbed or killed.When I mentioned that he has broken the court order that was issued for my protection, I was told that it is up to me to prove it in order for the police to act. I was on my own and very scared. I tried to not let him change my life, but I lost that battle. All I could do was write, and so I did. This book can be treated as a manual on how to recognize the kind of men to run from--men that are psychopaths and predators, who will leave you having wrecked your self-esteem, stolen your money and peace of mind, and in the end, your health or your very life. They are just not worth it, so beware!

On the edge,Staring down at worn sneakersBarely on the concrete,Fingertips hovering on rusty rails.How many other souls stood here too?Contemplating the plunge of life and death,A simple breeze the wrong direction.Then suddenly, you're hurtling toward the end.Perhaps they never hesitated.Yet somehow, we all know they did.Each one stood and debated the pros and consJustifying their next move toward oblivion.Despite all being tainted with the same darkness,We insist that alone is all we'll ever be.Gulping desperately at fresh air, only to findMildewed hopes and dreams abandonedRevolted with ourselves, We allow that final pushInto Death's warm embrace.

Some of the quotes he uses to create an actionable plan for improvement are"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life" (Steve Jobs)."Each one of us is more than the worst thing we have ever done" (Sheryl Sandberg)."Clock watchers never seem to be having a good time" (James Cash Penney)."When you lead change, sometimes you get arrows in your back" (Carly Fiorina)"When you are creating things that are new, you have to be prepared to be on the edge of risk" (Michael Eisner)."If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito" (Anita Roddick)."Change before you have to" (Jack Welch)."The rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield" (Warren Buffett).Written in an accessible and reflective tone of empathy, The Business of Relationships is a book that can be referenced to work on a specific quality or read from start to finish.

And some of these nuggets could even become a daily mantra!
I wrote my story when I was roughly thirty-six years of age. At that time, I went through depression with suicidal thoughts as I was mostly homeless since I was living out of my car, working when I could, and once out the week I stayed at a motel as long as my money lasted. That's where I wrote my story.Written in different time frames and after a month, I pieced through it, putting it in chronological order. Thus the result of The Pain Within. I took great pleasure writing it as I hope you take a greater pleasure reading it.

To dive into a drop of water or drink in a sea of stars, I had a microscope and a telescope. My sister had more changes than a kaleidoscope. We lived in a split-level house with a pool in the back and a TV in almost every room. The only thing missing, according to Mom, was a phone in the bathroom.Love was also missing, but love came and went, a castaway in life's day-to-day. The companionship, the friendship, the partnership were all lost, overboard like flotsam and jetsam from a sinking ship. After fifteen years, my parents were breaking up. Their marriage was on the rocks.
