This book tells the autobiography of my father, his years in Haiti, and his transition as an immigrant in foreign lands. His personal account mirrors the daily struggles one may face under the Duvaliers' regimes in the sixties through the mid of eighties to cultural shock and identity in other countries. Growing up, he experiences a lot of different emotions regarding his father's absence from the home along with dealing with his sudden death that had such an impact on his life. He tells this story in a narrative to inform his deceased father about his life. In his prime years, his dad caresses the hem of his mother's skirt, expressing how close the pair were. Hence, his mother taught him domestic chores, which is culturally catered to women. Throughout his secondary years, he expresses the demise of his teacher purposely failing him to hinder him from moving forward in the next class as well as the financial difficulties he faced during his time at Diquini, a congressional school, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Luckily, his eldest brother, whom he mentions throughout his book, was a pivotal stepping stone in his success there, along with his transition in America. In hopes of creating a family with his first love from Haiti, Dadoutte, she swindles him in hopes that they'll be reunited one day. She's destined to marry another suitor. After denying himself from women for a long time, he decided to open his heart to a girl, Samartha Mentor, who's visiting his home church, Horeb, now his wife of thirty years. His goal in Canada was to achieve a scholarship to further his studies and dreams of becoming a physician. Being isolated from his family back in Haiti, his stay there with his cousin, Gabriel, was extremely short-lived. Throughout his demise, he sought aid again from his brother Maurice in bringing himself to the United States. There, he began doing many odd jobs working in factories creating furniture pieces and being a taxi driver before being driven into the education field by a friend, Dr. Emmanuel Celestin, who saw Jean-Claude wasting his life away as a taxi driver. Taking this new job, teaching Haitians and Hispanic immigrants English at Wingate High School, has allowed him to further his career as an educator, where he retired as a school counselor, twenty-eight years and an half later at the age of sixty-two.

Things do not really change as much as people like to claim. When people see the solution but, in reality, they do not see the problem, then the new concept of change/intelligence spirals down the rabbit hole farther and farther from the actual problem. This only creates more problems, never solving or improving anything, leading to more ignorance, not intelligence.I knew when I left the weight room for the last time at the University of Arkansas in 1992 that all human beings should train like this. The lessons I learned in Coach Stucky's weight room transformed my abilities in all areas to face the ills of society head-on in the chosen path ahead of me.A reality check in training, fitness, sport, and education is needed in the media-crazed times currently influencing society. Coach Stucky was the person who could see the problem and the solution fifty-seven years ago and counting. I am just a beneficiary of Coach Stucky's gifts, trying to pay it forward for the kids and future generations and strength and conditioning.

On the Edge touches upon many subjects, such as abuse, depression, emotions, isolation, hope, love, relationships, and some poems for the kid at heart.

Many psychological programs change with the passing of time. Mindfulness therapy is an effective program that teaches the person to focus on the present moment, thus providing an effect on one's well-being. Some of the best advice I have ever been afforded came in six little words, "Stay in the here and now." Wisdom is a great gift that comes with age and experience. We do our best to live in the present moment. I hope my inspirations encourage you to do the same.

Man is threatened only by fellow man. Great is that threat because man, throughout history, has fought fellow man. All impactful nations of our world fight other nations and must spend enormously because they must be ready to fight. It seems that we cannot outgrow fighting. This book imagines a world in which man does not engage in war. Animals are surrogates, and only animals engage in fighting to the death. Such practice is beneath civilized man, but he is not totally removed. Humans are obsessed with watching animals fight to the death. The animals do not mind. What happens when kids try it? Once the passion for fierce fighting enters the blood, can humans resist the urge to engage in war? Yes, they are superior to animals, but can humans refrain from doing the thing they believed they were too smart to ever do?

This is not what the author would consider a self-help book but rather more akin to a memoir. She states this book is "a bit of an eccentric tale, but what is painted by the words is very real." The messages presented are very genuine to true life. Liberty is taken in the quirky and insightful manner in which the cast of characters used to propel the storyline is a collection of rural mailboxes. The author has brought them to life giving the reader an entertaining way to gain an understanding of topics that can often be delicate to address.

The book tells the story of a young boy named Tommy and his chihuahua best friend, Peep. Together they go on various adventures and explore the outdoors. They come across a lost puppy and decide to help him find his way home. As they journey through the forest, they encounter different animals who offer to help them. Tommy and Peep also help other animals they come across, such as freeing a bird caught in a vine and untangling a duckling from reeds. They continue on their journey, facing obstacles such as crossing a river and climbing steep hills. Eventually, they arrive at the doorstep of the lost puppy's home. Through their journey, they learn the importance of helping others in need.

With his career at GBS News on the line as he battles to stay sober, Ethan Benson receives a newspaper clipping in the mail about a beautiful, young woman who's been killed in a spectacular fire in a small, suburban community just outside Springfield, Massachusetts. It is the fourth fire and the fourth death in a little over a year, and while the local authorities have ruled them accidental, Ethan suspects foul play and travels to the scene of the crimes in search of the truth. Scared, alone, and desperate for a Scotch, he begins digging into the facts, using his award-winning skills as an investigative reporter to unearth an insidious conspiracy and find a killer with a horrifying secret.Piece by piece, he follows the clues as he builds his case and produces his story. Along the way, he is threatened by the authorities, hunted by a hitman, blown up by a car bomb, and saved by a beautiful young woman, the sister of the last victim, who becomes not only one of his key sources but also a pillar of strength as he battles his demons and hangs on to his sobriety. Like the other three Ethan Benson thrillers in the series, All Cameras Live is steeped in the world of television news with confrontational interviews, production deadlines, camera crews, a mercurial anchorman, and all the cutthroat political intrigue that characterizes the real world of television news. Ethan is a modern-day journalist and an intrepid crime sleuth who uses his skills as a producer/reporter to cull through the facts, read between the lines, and seek justice where justice is all but forgotten.The novel is a classic murder mystery, a page-turner with twists and turns, and an explosive ending that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. Our hero is the best investigative reporter in the business, a man with a soul, a conscience, a mission, who is not only seeking the truth for others but also seeking the truth for himself.

When did self sufficiency, empathy, and logic become taboo? How did these virtues get replaced by Trans people chanting, "We're coming for your children," and multiple governments colluding to create a virus that murdered over 7 million people worldwide? We've entered a phase in society where we are openly discussing colonizing other planets, yet we embrace moral hazard as a standard operating procedure and are delusional enough to still believe we can pull it off. Marriage between a man and a woman in the eyes of God has been replaced by a contract between two parties where one or both parties are incentivized to break it. The slow collapse of our society is happening because reality and facts are being replaced with bogus values - yet there is an expectation of real solutions.We aren't past the point of no return so long as we act now. This 20 year hiatus from sanity can be a good thing if we learn the lessons from these failures and as a society never repeat these mistakes ever again. We cannot afford any more monetary or intellectual bailouts. No more passing the buck to others when the deal goes bad because we think someone else will pay for our own mistakes and reckless risk taking. We need to embrace reality, facts, and accurate self perception if we expect to grow and prosper. I know we can. I know the majority of people want a better tomorrow. We can get there if we ditch the constant race for everlasting ignorant bliss and embrace rational discomfort because there is no mindset with more potential for productive thought and problem solving than being moderately uncomfortable while embracing reality. I am asking us all to embrace reality and take measure with facts, truths, and some much needed humor so we can have that better tomorrow.

Trauma is never something easy to deal with. Trauma can also take many forms. During my teenage years, the biggest trauma took the form of death. The loss of a very prominent figure in my life, my band teacher, who was like a second father to me, sent me into a downward spiral of depression. My salvation was my family, friends, and a creative outlet, poetry. I took the deepest and darkest thoughts that swirled around in my head and molded them into words on paper. This allowed me to eliminate the thoughts and unburden myself while creating something expressive and creative. Looking back now, I am ever so thankful for my poetry and the people around me who were encouraging of everything that would help me feel better. I hope that this collection of poems can serve as an outlet for others. Be it as a relaxing read, reflecting your own similar feelings, or inspiring you to create your own poems. I have since come to terms with my loss, but these poems will always be a part of my journey.

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.

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.
