What I wish I had known"e;We're living the good life. What went wrong? When, and why? I'll keep searching for the answers, striving to help others, avoid the same gut-wrenching tragedy.Michael, my son and overachiever, was a scholar and an outstanding athlete, drawn to the military early on. Despite his sturdy outer-shell, Michael was gentle. His senior year, he'd coax me into signing parental consent to enlist; at seventeen. I recall crying! Michael chuckled, not mocking me, making light of his choice... Thanks, mom, don't worry about me. I'm not going to war. I'm not going to die. I'm just going into the Marine Corps.My terrible premonition evolved on September 11, 2001. Michael's training just ended for Air Crew-Chief. He was assigned to the massive CH-53 Super Stallion Transporting-Helicopter.What I wish I had known... was that a helicopter crashed in Western Iraq and Michael (the air crew chief) wrote the ill-fated flight schedule, killing thirty-one men. He swapped out a more experienced crew member for a rookie.This story exams the psychological injuries my son sustained during his military service-the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) signs he was in severe distress. Veterans (like Michael) pride themselves in strength. Traumatic events can undermine their power-the ability to avoid dealing with emotions in the face of danger. Once emotions are buried, some veterans and first responders continue internalizing mental anguish instead of reaching out for help.Shockwaves spread-wide Michael's in his prime, survived war, earned a master's degree and in love, engaged. I'm stunned, why? Twenty-two veterans die by suicide daily, it's a long-lasting statistic.Twenty-two but not you-not my Michael! I'd bet my life and savings on that!Mental fog set in, this time I reached out to Michael's trusted friends (Korah Hoffman LMSW/MPA) and Erik Fries USMC Air Crew Chief/Brother in arms. Erik exposed me to the harsh reality of war. Korah shared her personal and professional struggle with Michael's silent battle.If death wasn't devastating enough, I'd breakdown at Mass, when our Catholic priest uttered "e;Suicides are damned to hell"e; his words echoed from the pulpit! Tormented, I'll seek a medium.Naturally, I wanted to check in on my son. What I experienced was a life-changing revelation.

Eva awoke in a smelly hotel room, where am I and how did I get here? She ran for the bathroom to see someone in the mirror she did not recognize.

Every society has a history etched with unexplained mystery. Every continent boasts architectural marvels built with such skill and technology that they defy any modern explanation or possible duplication. Every culture is shadowed with stories of a parallel world, the other side, another dimension and every civilization has legends of doorways, portals or gates between them.The story of Tekoa and the Book of Secrets is such a story. It is set in the rugged West Texas, Guadelupe Mountains and its counter world, the land of Tekoa.

Located within the boundaries of one of the East Side of Detroit's "bluest" of blue collar neighborhoods, 9074 St. Cyril Avenue served a dual purpose - funeral home and family residence. Occupying the first floor of the impressive yellow bricked structure from 1942 until 1978 was the Van Kula Funeral Home - the second floor I called home.For over four decades I was associated with death and dying on an almost daily occurrence. Residing over a funeral home with five siblings added to the plenitude of memories - poignant, humorous and enduring.As an observer and eventual practitioner of one of the world's oldest professions, I have borne witness to human nature under the most demanding of emotional circumstances. In "DAD, CAN I BORROW THE HEARSE?" I have attempted to present a summary of events as they related to me - "The Funeral Director's Kid".

Warriors & Words: Memoirs of Battles is a collection of quotes and poems I authored over nearly two decades. They are designed to introduce the enlisted servicemember to the human dimensions of modern warfare and its challenges. In doing so, I hope that these few words will encourage the owner to record, in writing, their own experiences and interpretations so that their words may become a source of self-reflection and self-improvement. Equally as important, this journal may serve as a family heirloom for generations to come.

Hypocrisy is rife in the corporate world, with disastrous consequences for businesses, employees, and consumers.Dr. Williams argues that hypocrisy occurs when leaders fail to align their actions with company values, resulting in widespread disillusionment that taints the entire organization. He makes a bold and compelling case for authentic leadership as a legitimate and profitable business incentive, where values are ethically informed and pioneered by diligent leaders.Now more than ever, companies have a duty and an incentive to reverse the 'profits before people' mentality, focusing instead on a 'people first' directive. Dr. Williams demonstrates that profits are a natural consequence of this approach, since employees are inspired to contribute their personal best when they are well-treated and respected. Visions, Values, and Corporate Hypocrisy calls for greater transparency, accountability, and integrity within the business discourse, starting with leaders whose actions ultimately shape the culture and success of organizations.Williams holds a PhD in Organizational Psychology, and has a 30-year career in corporate leadership.
