Before the child can even touch the doorknob, they are stuffed into a brand-new snowsuit, and unfortunately, it has no fingers! With a thick layer of puff between their hands and the snow, the child uses the only thing they can reach-their imagination-and imagines the wonderful things they could do with their hands.

My wife, Sally, suffered and died after a decade-long struggle with dementia. Her experiences retold here, along with my own as her caregiver, can help people making a similar end-of-life journey. To assist them, I propose and discuss a humane way to deal with dementia at the end of life, one that Sally believed in and would have enthusiastically endorsed for herself: the Right to Die. Because Sally could not exercise her right to die, we had to endure her traumatic final years in memory care as she struggled with her steadily worsening affliction, forgetting who she was and what gave meaning to her life, with the result that both she and I were relegated to the ranks of the forgotten. The book includes a "Tool Box" of resources to assist individuals who are seeking help and support in their caretaking endeavors. I hope this book will stimulate readers to think differently about how we die and how we should be allowed to die.

COMMON THREADS is the unique story of a unique idea-that sewing machines, passed from one to another, can provide hope and meaning to both those who receive them and those who give. Margaret John Jankowski founded The Sewing Machine Project, a grassroots nonprofit, based on this concept. COMMON THREADS shares the extraordinary journey from idea to action, with stories that inspire, challenges that are real, outcomes that are profound, and evidence that small ideas can indeed mend communities."Listen to the sound of inspiration inside yourself. I'm talking about that voice that guides you to put your goodness into the world. Listen to that voice and then follow, for just a few steps. Follow and see what happens."-Margaret Jankowski, Common Threads

Starting a store sounded like fun, sort of like putting on a play. I'd get to write the script, design the production, be the lead actor, hire people I liked, and direct the whole thing! After a year of answering to bureaucrats in my job as coordinator of the new State Street Mall, it would be wonderful to be the boss of everything. But what about afterward? What if the show wasn't a hit? What if I couldn't pull a salary out of it? Later in my career I would understand that luck and timing were big factors in my success. In 1979, I had no grasp of national economics, but I did have a sense of something afoot. A strong new business cycle was brewing that few saw coming. I would open my store on State Street on the cusp of a retail boom at the height of the American Century, although I had only a faint sense of that yet. Nor did I have any idea that within a decade, it would all start to fall apart.

On December 26, 2019, Amy Gannon and her 13-year-old daughter, Jocelyn, were killed on a helicopter tour on the Na Pali Coast in Hawaii. The accident changed the future not only of Amy's husband, Mike, and son, Aaron, but also extinguished the rising star of a beloved activist, entrepreneur, and friend.The loss was overwhelming, but Mike was determined not to let his wife's legacy fade. Mike set out to compile a thorough biography of Amy's life with the goal of helping Aaron know his mother as well as possible. Over a year and a half, writer and editor Susanna Daniel interviewed more than 45 of Amy's friends, family, and colleagues, from her junior high homecoming date to the interns who worked at her nonprofit, from her parents and closest friends to students in her classes and colleagues who were profoundly influenced by her wisdom, support, and generous spirit.Amy's life story took her from a modest and challenging childhood in Greenville, Ohio, to American University, to a career deeply entwined with social justice and empowering women. She was fiercely loyal to her friends, tirelessly committed to ending inequity and the patriarchy, and deeply in love with her family. There is no question that Amy stamped the world indelibly with her passion, wit, and warmth, and that the world is worse off without her in it.

How could a kid who was labeled a "low-IQ" student in early grade school with virtually no chance of academic success, let alone success in business, pull off a miracle? How did he find a way out of the deep, dark cavern of depression and underachievement to realize the success that most people only dream of? Men who have experienced physical, mental, and sexual abuse are figuratively put in a straitjacket that deters success. The emotional scars experienced by adult children of alcoholics, and the addictive allure of pornography mixed with abuse, create a deadly elixir that destroys lives. This narrative is a "wake-up call" to the therapeutic community to create and design treatment programs to attack this syndrome that Jim has labeled the Trilogy Modum. James E. Crawford Jr. Esq. is a thirty-year experienced trial lawyer who has handled thousands of criminal sex offense cases in our court system. He has discovered hard-hitting facts as to why there is a tremendous increase in sex crimes and domestic violence in this country. Jim walks you through his own childhood struggles and the road he traveled to become an American lawyer. He gives you a "how-to" road map to find success in your own life and business. Although improbable, he ultimately realized his dream of standing next to a client with a fictitious sword in hand and using every tool he has developed as an attorney to protect and shield his clients. Underpinning his career and life, The American Lawyer is really about a father and son who desperately tried to connect and the journey to find the redemption they both grasped in the end.
