My first youth book, Aria, was fun to write, and this book is a continuation of Aria's journey as an angel of hope. This book is for a slightly older audience. It was interesting to research places of good and evil for this story. The demons got what they deserved! I am sure you approve. Free will is a gift from God, but he does allow us to make mistakes. Aria has me mesmerized. I hope you have enjoyed her! She may show up again with a new adventure. God bless your day.

Youth and coming of age in the latter half of the twentieth century offered countless challenges, exposures, and opportunities. For an African American female born and living in the South, challenges, exposures, and opportunities had a decidedly different perspective than the realities of White contemporaries. Understanding quite early that the playing field was far from level, finding ways to discover one's gifts and abilities, to have ones worth validated became a lifelong quest. And to learn that the validation of ones worth when personally discovered is a liberating reality.Meeting a litany of hurdles, some self-imposed and a great many incited by the indelible elements of the times, finding ways to circumvent and overcome challenges were integral necessities. Learning to see, absorb, and advance beyond obstacles became lifelong strategies, while finding strength and even joy in the ultimate process.My Amazing Journey: A Celebration of Seasons and Travelers Along the Way captures the impact that everyday individuals make helping to weave the tapestry of a single life. Gratefully, all along the way were balcony people making seismic contributions, often persons with no point of reference or hope for what could actually be attained. These contributors to activities and experiences that in themselves seemed inconsequential shaped a life to not just survive, but to thrive against the ceaseless barrage of insurmountable odds. In spite of the ever-present realities of injustice, inequity, and racism, hope burst through in unsuspecting ways again and again, daring failure to win.

As the book was being written, it became clear that many others might benefit from my experiences in life and how ultimately it was faith that rose to the top and made all things possible. The desire is to grow the kingdom of God. Hopefully this book will serve that purpose.

This author was surprised to learn that there was only one Catholic pilgrimage company in the United States that offered a pilgrimage to Japan, a country she longed to visit, not only to visit Catholic and other historic sites, but also to see, once again, a friend she had not seen for many years. Even though this Catholic pilgrimage was canceled twice due to low enrollment, she never gave up hope that it would come to fruition. It should also be noted that typical Catholic pilgrimages are carried out using a chartered bus. This pilgrimage was unique in that it would be mostly carried out using their high-speed bullet train. To be able to take the bullet train throughout this country enabled her to see what it was like to live not only in a city in Japan but also the beautiful countryside. Hopefully, in the future, more Catholic pilgrimage companies will offer more pilgrimages to Japan to increase their knowledge of the history of Catholicism in Japan.
