I believe this book was spiritually inspired by the original anonymous author. As I read her handwritten words, it was as though she was whispering them in my ears. I was imaging her words in my mind and feeling her emotions. This is why I put her actual handwritten words as she wrote them on one side of the page and the typed portion next to it. See if you hear her whispering in your ear as you read her handwritten words, and do you experience any of her emotions? I believe her name was Barbara, and she was affected by WWII as was my father's second wife. If you experience any whispering or emotions, please let me know. Also, if you feel a cool breeze as you read, it could be the north wind.When the "power of love"OvercomesThe "love of power"The world will be at peace--Sri Chinmoy (Indian spiritual leader)I believe Barbara was trying to find a love relation to replace the love who I believe perished in WWII. We all need love in our lives. When we lose someone close to us, it is a very traumatizing event. I lost a son of sixteen years. You can never replace or forget. You live with it as long as you live.

The title of the book carries you to your final destination, but the most important items are how you get there. In looking at the table of contents, one can see how one of the early items, section 2, is selecting the executor of your estate. Imagine if the author selects you to serve in that capacity. Unfortunately, you would have no idea of what my requests would have been--but if I had filled out each of the sections, you would know, precisely, what I desired to be done.In addition, there are questions you could use in making decisions about the capabilities of specialists, such as financial advisers, attorneys, realtors, and others you may need at some time. Most importantly, in section 35, where you may want to move to a senior living facility, there are thirty-five questions you need to ask and three copies of the questionnaire for each of the three facilities you choose to interview.

This story is about me, a boy who grew up in a small town in West Virginia. One night, my dad and I were watching the news, and they showed the hippies and talked about what they were doing. I told my dad that it was what I was going to do. He told me to go for it. I did. At thirteen, I hitchhiked to Virginia Beach and back. When I got home, I did go to jail. My grandfather would get me out. He was a deputy sheriff. I left home a lot. I always went to the beaches: Daytona and Myrtle. We used to sleep on beaches.At age fourteen, I was taught something that I would need in my life. I was into harder drugs by this time--acid drugs that made you trip and see stuff that ain't there. Every time I would run away from home, I would be in jail when I got back. I didn't go to school much. I went to parties with my friends. I was tutored in the eighth grade. The school passed me from the ninth grade to the twelfth to get me out of their school. I don't know how I passed, but when I got to the eleventh grade, something happened. I was kicked out of school for drugs. I quit school and went to school at night.I had to drive to night school. I was studying to take my GED. The classes were three hours a night. My best friend also quit high school and came to night school. We skipped school one night, drove to Pennsylvania, and pulled an armed robbery. I didn't go home for three days, but we got busted. This was April 1975. I took off and went to Virginia Beach with some friends. I hitchhiked back and had my first meeting with the real law (FBI / US Marshals). They were camped out in my family's yard. I had charges against me--murder and kidnapping. I wonder what happened.Four years down the road, I ended up at the carnival. I did that for twenty-five years. I cooked sausage, pizza, and fried veggies. I did rides and games. The life I lived was different from anyone else's life. I got more education on the road than I did at school. Life gives you so many challenges; you never know what to expect. Just like the roads I have traveled--unexpected roads.

On October 6, 2021, two people, a man and a woman, embarked on a journey together. This was to be a journey of reconciliation. The man and woman were Lisa and Brad--my first wife and me.We had been separated by space and time. Our story has been tested by all the emotions of humanity and the judgments of insanity. We have traveled through years and across miles, lived in reality and in dreams, to finally miraculously reunite.This is a love story of exceptional highs and tremendous lows. This is a story of vigilance, perseverance, and steadfast commitment. This story is for all those who cherish relationships.Throughout the reconciliation process, I have written several love letters to Lisa, which have become the best therapy for us that money cannot buy. At a certain point, it became obvious that I needed to write our whole story. This book contains that story and the love letters that have inspired its telling.Within the pages of this book are the real-time love letters (which have been written during the ongoing reconciliation between Lisa and me) interwoven into my perspective of how we came to be, came together, came apart, and came back.My hope is that at the end of reading this work, you will have laughed, cried, sobbed, sighed, and realized that love--true intended love--can and will survive.

Greetings! It is truly remarkable that, after six decades, I find myself inspired and given the opportunity to delve into the historical and current struggles of Black Americans in the South and various states across the nation. Despite enduring immense hardships, such as poverty, their predicaments are seldom addressed by the media. Regrettably, I fear that without direct action from politicians who recognize the urgent need for change, these issues will persist, leaving them neglected. They are now hopeful that their struggles can be remedied before White supremacists' prejudiced attitudes towards Black individuals worsen. I would deeply appreciate it if fellow Americans could spare a moment to peruse this book. I am confident that you will find the accounts of Black people's experiences in life-and-death circumstances intriguing and thought-provoking. So fasten your seat belts and prepare for a challenging journey through the past, present, and future. While reading this book may be unsettling as you venture further into an era that few of us would have survived--enduring the unimaginable conditions of physical and mental enslavement by White supremacists--please know that it is entirely understandable.

Poetry is a beautiful art form that comes from thoughts and the heart that flows. This compilation of poems is influenced by the flow of nature and the winding roads of life. Life is about catching moments between the light times and the dark times of our lives that we are surrounded by. Whether you are on a mountain summit or in a valley or in between, life is about the ups and downs that develop who we are. The alpenglow is a magical moment when in the twilight hours, the hues of red shine on the opposite mountains from the sun. It only lasts for a brief time, but life is the same way, as we all are trying to capture the magical moments that mean so much to us. Clutch those moments, whether it be a sense of nostalgia, recollections of memories, your family, or the breathtaking views that capture your heart. This collection consists of the elements of nature and how we can miss the smallest details of life around us. The elements of family, culture, and so much more always leave lasting impressions of mementos in our lives. I thoroughly hope you enjoy this compilation. Stay on the winding roads and keep chasing your alpenglow, catching those moments that will forever be in your mind and in your heart.

Two random people from New York are brought together by circumstance one fateful night.Antonio "Tony" Willhiem is your average young man from Queens, New York, with dreams just like anyone else from the suburbs. He just seems to have hit a patch of bad luck since he was a kid that seems to only get worse as he gets older. All he wants is what most people his age want--college education, a good job, a solid future, and of course love. What more could anyone with sensible desires ask for?Michelle Victoria Du'Pree is anything but normal; she's from a rich, socialite family in New York City, but she is in fact close to three hundred years old--half human, half demon, called an Immortal, more commonly known in religious texts as a succubus or lust demoness. She has her own wants too: companionship and a lifelong mate of her very own and, of course, freedom. But she feels like she's cursed with loneliness as she wanders through the darkness and decades in Manhattan's shadows.In a chance meeting at a nightclub called the Factory, will a lonely immortal demoness and an average guy from Queens find out they are destined to be something more together, or will this meeting lead to something more sinister and hideous? One looks to an immediate future while the other looks toward the long looming years of immortality ahead.But when evil meets the prospect of love, can this really be true? Can evil actually love? Has she found the one person to spend her eternity with, or will his fate lead him to a gruesome end like so many have met before him? In the end, where will this lead, and what force has brought these two together who are worlds apart, and for what reasons?

Every fall, Dad and his buddies drove 200 miles to Jack Hochlander's tiny, unheated Adirondack cabin, centrally located in the middle of nowhere, to hunt deer. In 1957 Dad became part-owner, making him the happiest man on earth. Now, outside hunting season, he brought my brothers and me along, teaching us the ways of the woods - and how not to cook. We had an absolute blast. As Dad said, "We don't have a lot of money, but we have a lot of fun." The cabin became my favorite place on earth, too. Given a choice, I'd take a weekend at the cabin over Christmas. "I can't wait for the day you fellas do the driving," he'd say, sucking on a smoke, steering his latest jalopy up the crumbling old roads. "I'll just relax, look out the window and watch the woods go by. I'm really looking forward to that."Twenty years later, on his sixty-third birthday, February 6, 1979, he got his wish - but I was the only driver. My brothers, wisely, chose not to come. I thought we'd have a great time, snowshoeing, swapping stories around the wood stove, but I never factored in his drinking. Saturday night, drunk, he challenged a group of reviled snowmobilers at the Deer Head Inn and barely escaped with his life. So much for our glorious weekend. After his untimely death at 73, his youngest son Graham took over the cabin. That didn't last long; directly across our road a huge new house was built, spoiling our serenity, wrecking our wilderness, and Graham was gone; now at long last, the place was mine. Like Dad, I started bringing my kids up. Would they feel the same magic Dad and I felt there years before?

Nearly two million military members have deployed in support of the continued conflicts in Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom, OIF) and Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom, OEF) and Operation New Dawn (OND) (Campbell and Riggs 2015). We as a society have become more aware of the effects of war. For example, we know that military members who have engaged in combat are far more likely to be diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. Yet there are many unanswered questions related to the psychological treatment and interventions developed for those who have served in the Armed Forces as well as the reduction and prevention of the completion of suicide in this community. The current statistics state that twenty-two veterans a day die from suicide (Department of Veterans Affairs 2017). This body of work is dedicated to the impact that war can pose on those who have served in the Armed Forces and aims to shine a light on the impact that moral injury can pose.

In April of 2022, Howard Johnson decided to write a book about his life. Investigation and study revealed that everything that happened to him was unusual and unique compared to all friends and family of similar seventy-seven years, starting with being a war baby and parents with unusual backgrounds, families, strong morals, hard work ethics, and strong personal values. He found many forgotten blessings spread all throughout his years that led to particular advantages compared to many others he knows, such as dancing, singing, love of music, artistry, reading, writing, strong imagination, hard work, and a generous, friendly nature. Appreciation for designs of all kinds led to the collecting of just about everything. Cars, boats, wood, iron, metal--you name it, he collected it. His parents taught him to organize well so he could find what he was looking for quickly and easily.Good looks, good health, good fitness are all essential for a good life. His parents taught him everything from refinishing furniture to the importance of going to church, to painting a truck. His father taught him the appreciation of boats. He has a collection of wooden boats now, and people say it is the largest and nicest collection in the entire country. For eight months now, he has studied his life to write this book, and the life he has lived is just amazing. Now Howard is looking forward to sharing the stories of his life with all his readers in hopes to capture your imagination of what his life was really like.

The idea behind Cooking beyond Measure is to simplify cooking in a whole. Less ingredients lessen time and preparation. Ultimately, you'll have more time with family and loved ones. I absolutely enjoy being in my kitchen. My oldest granddaughter, Elle, says I spend most of the day in there. Honestly, I choose to be there. It is truly my sanctuary, my peace, and my space for time to think, create, and strategize what's next (whether it be laundry, homework, etc.).Cooking was a God-given gift to me; it truly came naturally since before I was a teenager. Good food, love, and fellowship is what we all need more of in this life. My advice is to always taste your food while preparing. If it doesn't taste good to you, it won't taste good to them!--Chef Sylvia
