We all have experiences during the last year that leave our mouths gaping to say something when all that comes out is so much hot air. There are simply no words to describe the alienation from everyone and everything that has been experienced by one and all. Therefore, I wrote this story thinking of the somewhat unique nature of this miserable year.The setting for the story is Colombia, mainly because I know about this country and its different way of seeing. Colombia has been through so much humiliation and scorn due to its well known problems in dealing with illicit drugs, so I figured its response to the virus could be exemplary. I believe it has been and is thus a good setting for the story of Violeta and the Three Monsters.Colombians have learned that when all else fails, it is time to take the word of public health authorities, as they know what they are doing. It has done just that. I am most proud of their response: it makes good sense and everyone has profited from it. For example, we have worn facemasks from the very beginning of the pandemic here in March 2020, and still do. It makes beautiful sense, but try telling that to someone who knows everything already. Mostly, one is left with one's mouth open in bewilderment. The name of Violeta came from the illustrator who knows young people and art and flowers, such as violets. When the monsters are known to be invisible it presents a challenge that I am not sure I addressed well enough, but the Illustrator did. My hat is off to her, and her drawings are captivating.

An illustrated children's book about the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren.

This is a story about Starlee, a baby sea turtle who is born on Sanibel Island. She is protected by her human, Grama Marion and the children, the Children of the Sea. Starlee as a baby leaves the Island and grows up to be a strong woman, beautiful, powerful and free. During her travels, she learns about life, nature and our wonderful ocean. One day, like her ancestors before her, she returns to the island guided by the stars and the circle of life, a new mother to be - after earning her Ocean Degree. Her story is a legend, that is still told today by the children that wander these sandy shores...when it is still early, just barely light and the moon and the sun wink in the dawn of the morning light.

But she also faced the less wrenching challenge of having a disability that was incurable, though not deadly (stuttering). Life is hard, but, so what?This memoir became Emery''s so what. She has recounted her challenges and achievements and given them meaning, and found where they fit in her life. It''s a process she considers vital to surviving what happens to you - telling the story.As the title suggests, Emery writes with both hard-eyed realism and compassionate humor. Readers can listen in on what Emery wants her children to know about the losses and the limits that keep happening despite our desperate attempts to avoid them.Her memoir resides in the everyday struggle to live as best we can, providing insights on how all who struggle - which is to say all of us - can survive well.

The guide is full of rituals and advice to start your year off right. This information can be used for the New Year or any time throughout the year to kickstart your energy. The New Year, whether traditional or Chinese New Year, is a time of new beginnings. It is a time to reduce all that needs to be cleared from your life. It is time to reboot and remember all that is solid and stable.  It is the time to manifest and put into motion all that is desired. In Chinese lore, the Jade Emperor called together the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac to teach mankind lessons to learn from the animals.  For eons of time, soothsayers have looked to the animals, stones, and plants for answers. They believe the animals hold the answers from God for their existence. The animals provided food, clothing, and transportation. Signs and metaphors from heaven guide us daily. God speaks to us through the animals. The wind, sky, sun, and moon guide us. Our instincts keep us alive. The oracles learned how to harness the energy of the animals, the earth, and sky to thrive; and so-- can you. This guide will help you find out which animals you relate to by your birth year and how to begin preparing yourself for the year to come using Feng Shui advice.

The guide to understanding your potential is seeing the science within spirituality and the spirituality within science. The heart may feel the belief but the mind needs proof.May you believe and harness the energy of the New Year and prosper in health, happiness, and wealth throughout the year.

"Shadows on Light: Rise of the Dark Shark" is a contemporary supernatural/spiritual thriller about the complexities of good and evil, clashing and colliding into each other in modern times, much like a lethal virus attacking a healthy cell. The novel tells the fictional account of two ex-specially trained military men, who together, competing in a challenge maneuver in Southern Jamaica in the early 1970s, are both struck and wounded by a lightning flash. They both survive their life-threating injuries and learn that they have been blessed with unique gifts to heal hurting and wounded people. The protagonist hero of the story is an ex-Navy Seal turned Catholic priest; the antagonist/villain is a middle eastern governmental lobbyist, who also happens to be a cultic leader for a historically factual doomsday cult, which has survived centuries into the modern era. The novel advances the power of the spiritual realm as a most vital perspective to meet, confront, and defeat the challenges of evil within these modern times, while touching on moral, racial, and ecumenical issues of timely concern.

Book Description:TBDAbout the Author:Many enlightened and learned beings, by their teachings as well as by example, have unequivocally taught that the human mind possesses the potential to obtain states of mind that span from the manifestation of universal altristic compassion to the mental condition that is capable of commiting the most horrific acts of violence imaginable. What this means is that all things that are said and all things that are done arise from somewhere withn the infinate continuum of what we call consciousness. Inspired by the universal teachings of these prophetic and venerable teachers, such as Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, and countless others, I have made it one of my goals to try and stay mindful of the thought to wish the very best for every insect, animal, human and extraterrestial. Regardless of what is said or done. Despite whatever emotional state I may be in at a particular moment in relativity.I work as a respiratory therapist who worked the "front lines" during the height of the covid pandemic. I can say first hand that if Trump would have alerted us(the citizens of the United States of America), him knowing how bad covid was in Febuary, we could have been better prepared for the crisis. Because of the Republican Trump's negligent decision not to prepare or support us during this time of crisis, him lying and leading us to believe the virus was a HOAX many of my co -workers contracted the disease. We could have protected our selves had we known earlier! Not to mention the thousands of other American citizens that were exposed and died because of his negligence. Republican Trump's covid response was 10,000 times worse than Benghazi. Why is there no incessant ranting from Fox News and Republicans about this. Like they did about Benghazi. I wish every insect, animal, human and extraterrestial the very best. For what it is worth I am aware that republicans belong to at least one of those categories and I wish them all the best. I believe it is a tough world to navigate through.On the personal level, I have had many successes and "learning experiences" over the coarse of my time here. In my pursuit for knowledge, self understanding and self acceptance I have climbed many what seemed to be mountians at the time and have traversed many sundry valleys of unknown consequence(including marriage). From my many adventures, based on the knowledge I have aquired through acedemics, personal experience and especially from the everyday struggles that we gracefully or ungracefully wallow through during this "school of life" I now consider myself to be one of those pseudo-intellects who think they know alittle about a lot. For those who are interested my autobiography will go into much more detail about what I mean by that. I believe the words and content in this book will bring to light pieces of my background and clarify some of the cryptic generalizations that I have alluded to in this brief literary self portrait.On the political front I am an independent. Although I find virtually no credence to the Repub's agenda. One example, abortion- I do not feel one bit bad for the unborn. They will not have to struggle or suffer or watch others suffer in this world. They are in God's warm hands right now! Why do repubs think that abortion is a bad thing? Why is it so important to them that others be born into this world of struggle. If you truely believe in God you know that HE will make sure that a soul will be born if that is what HE truely wants. It is good to try and influence a mother's decision. But FORCING a person to have a child is not God's will. It is a defilement against God. God gave us a choice.....
