Percy stopped and stared at M.C. "Don't you realize anything, M.C., unless it is told to you? Do you ever try to figure things out? I mean really figure things out? We are practically at the coast, right? I mean all we need is a boat to get to Genesis. But these people in all of their simplicity are not the least bit interested in getting to Genesis. Have you wondered why? Maybe it is not what we think it is. Maybe we are all crazy. Yes, I burned the pecan grove and the barn...I think I set it on fire for all of the simpleminded people in the world who do nothing but let life just happen. But do you want to know something? I am glad I did it. Let them do something worthwhile...instead of sitting around in that miserable town drinking and smoking themselves into an early grave. They deserved it!" Percy finished and his eyes were red with passion.Most people would not consider it an "adventure" to have your rights and privileges taken from you in a country where democracy is cherished.

When I decided to write another book for Scarlett, my brother's granddaughter, it had to be about her new favorite, the Giraffe. I knew little about them, so I had to research them. I knew my book had to have a lesson in trust taught to Aezia's baby. I planned at first that I, as an artist, I would illustrate the book. I soon realized that, I would find the giraffe and the story very difficult. Then I remembered my dear friend and brother, Gary Love, who I knew could do a fantastic job. So I called him and happily he agreed to create draft illustrations using his experience with computer graphics. Being computer illiterate, I spent months with my brother drafting pictures to match my story line. Finally, it all came together and we are both very happy with the results.After many years of acting, Carole finally listened to others and decided to start writing.

The Dalai Lama has given many talks about peace and how we all contribute to world peace. He says "The world doesn't belong to just leaders; the world belongs to all humanity." He argues that global peace comes through meditation which can only be achieved through bringing the individual body into balance, the vibrational energy of the entire inner being. We cannot alter our surroundings which hold the peace until we have this balance and peace within us. The channeled information in this book gives insight into the power within us, the power of our local region and how we balance our body, mind, spirit and the world around us. It shows how to use meditation, food, colors, nature and social settings to achieve this balance. Once you gain inner balance, these tools help balance everything around you. The key to begin is Live Local, Live Simple. This is the first step.

Within & Beyond, The Connection takes complex concepts that have been around for many years, explaining how the earth and the universe are connected, pulling the magnetic energy up from the Earth and the electrical energy down from the Universe. This merger flows into each cell forming a star tetrahedron providing the wisdom of life for each of us. This channeled information defines the dimension as -Planes of Reference and Cosmic Life Pattern (CLP) as the internal genetic coding for each individual. As well as the channeled information presented here, Within & Beyond brings us historic quotes such as the one from Bob Frissell book "Nothing in this book is true But its exactly how things are." My analysis is "Everything in this book is true, and its exactly how things have always been".

In this debut novel, a white middle-aged war veteran reflects on his relatives' history as he faces the prospect of reuniting with his estranged family.Grover McKeen feels a great deal of angst over an invitation to visit his father, a man he hasn't spoken to for 30 years. Readers later learn the schism occurred when Grover was recuperating from a head injury received in the Korean War. Although the Marine would eventually regain his sight in one eye, he was totally blind at the time. During his father's visit, Valory, Grover's black nurse, entered the room, and the patient said, "This is the girl I plan to marry." His father responded: "Many her if you must, but know...you will be disowned and disinherited." Now this invitation challenges Grover to decide whether he is ready to offer forgiveness. Crawford works off this pivotal moment to jump back in time and begin the tale of the McKeens, told through the voices of principal characters over successive generations. Patrick McKeen "left Ireland with his wife and two children in 1846 to escape the potato famine and settled near Savannah, Georgia." With a mule and two slaves, he planted 20 acres of cotton, ultimately expanding his farm to 100 acres. After losing his wife and children to malaria, he married Iva McCurry and sired a son, Sean. The McKeens lost everything in the Civil War, and in 1876, 16-year-old Sean left for Florida, where he succeeded in restoring the family to its-former life of privilege. While Crawford's dialogue is often stilted, the assortment of first-person narratives brings the characters to life. And her description of Sherman's occupation of Savannah in 1864 is poignant: "The slaves...they came to liberate were intimidated and terrorized, the fields were stripped of food....The troops slaughtered livestock...and the mansion was plundered for valuables and burned....Gone were the glory days." The second half of the novel takes Grover back to the family's Florida homestead in Ocoee, accompanied by Valory. At this point, his siblings begin to add their voices to the engrossing saga, as the family confronts the past, trying to rebuild what was broken so long ago.

It is challenging yet fulfilling, when things begin to seemingly unravel when in reality, however in reality, it is in the confusion that growth is evidenced in the midst of what feels and looks likes nothing but chaos, resentment, bitterness and abandonment. When these pieces mysteriously fall into place giving the seeker strength, confidence and a greater appreciation for life and family.The main character in this ethnography is Charley Mae Wells Strong and she is the third of seven siblings.
