In my first book, Neuropsychiatric Comorbidities with HIV and Antiretroviral Therapy, I gave an overview of HIV, the comorbidities that couple with the disease itself, and antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV positive persons, whether newly diagnosed or those that are 2nd & 3rd and even 4th generation, long-term survivors. Within the following chapters in this book, my goal is to give persons afflicted with the disease and also for those who are either, a partner, family member, friend or loved one, inspiration and hope in dealing with this global pandemic. There is life after HIV!

Sometimes I wonder how I didn't go crazy and end up in some nut house through all the madness I had endured throughout the years. The violence I witnessed as a child, being molested, dealing with alcoholism, deceitful people and then the fact I was gay. This had such a huge impact on me causing me to become such an angry person and it took a long time for me to seek help and forgive those who were responsible. I needed to stop judging those who were also in fear and pain as I once was. Trust me it never fully goes away but you have to learn to deal with it and look forward because you really don't have a choice. You can't keep living in the past otherwise there is no future for you. The way I see it is that you live life for yourself not for others as long as you don't hurt anyone along the way with your actions. We are all human and far from perfect so the easiest way to have peace is to accept everyone, no matter what or who they are. You or I don't have a right to judge. We are who we are.

A Kriya Yogi's Kundalini Awakening in the Himalayas takes us through the spiritual quest of a dynamic and accomplished Indian woman, Madhuri Mandava, who first set off, in 1987, for the Himalayas as an 18 year-old college student in search of adventure, and soon found herself inspired by the sight of sadhu yogis chanting around a fire. A day later as her team approached Gangotri Glacier and towering Mt. Shivling, at 6,543 meters (21,456 ft.), she grew so transfixed that she lost all sense of "me" or "I" and became one with her surroundings, not knowing that the wrath of nature would soon assert itself with frigid winds and piercing snow as she got lost on the glacier, as her team was forced to retreat blindly to base camp, in a state of uncertain desperation. Her initial aspiration to learn mountaineering had turned into a spiritual quest to attain enlightenment. By 1996, she had moved to America, earned a Master's in computer science, and was professionally established in Silicon Valley in California. It was then that a severe case of influenza brought extreme fatigue and despair that intensified her longing to awaken, which left her with an intense desire to run off to the Himalayas and sit on a rock until she achieved Enlightenment.

Life throws us many challenges which inevitably cause trauma. We live with the results of traumatic events. Those results play out in how we engage in business, relationships and life.

This is a prequel to my first book SNIPERS! It tells a Christmas story about the birth of the youngest character in the first two books of the SNIPER series. There is a young woman, well young in Twenty-First Century terms, an older man but not too much older and a fractious family. The power figure appears to be the patriarch of this family. Abraham Feelgood is a hard man who is the richest man in Australia. He wants to marry off his eldest daughter Hera to increase his political influence. Hera has no intention of letting her father railroad her into marrying someone she does not love. Her secret ally is her mother. Mary Feelgood is not going to let her daughter be pressured into marrying anyone. She works behind the scenes to scuttle all of her husband's attempts at marrying off his daughter. Then Hera meets the man of her dreams at a dance. She falls in love with this dashing army officer. But her father finds out. He uses his considerable political influence to get this troublesome suitor sent on an overseas posting. His intent is obvious when that posting is to a combat zone. The two lovers must find a way to continue their romance whilst being separated most of the time.
Inevitably, dark times will wreak havoc in each person's life without immunity. Struggles and hardships can become overwhelming and debilitating. Among those struggles lie the indelible effects of loss and death. Such tragedies and circumstances can leave one with a feeling of hopelessness. Sadly, loss can be a commonplace experience in the life of a caregiver.Caregiving is a crucial, yet often difficult role given to many who are tasked with providing nurturing and even life-sustaining care for another. Caring for a loved one is a critical responsibility that can ultimately, when intertwined with other complex trials and tribulations, drive a caregiver to become a seeker of answers and strength in order to alleviate pressures from discouragement and even despair.Many who reach perilous levels of desperation are led to search for hope and comfort which is often difficult to find in this fallen world. However, courage to conquer fear and defeat is found in abounding faith and trust that is only derived from seeking the presence and power from a heavenly Father who never disappoints or abandons us in our times of need.The divine Words provided by our Lord and Savior can become a lifeline to those who struggle with life's daunting and crippling challenges. When darkness reigns upon your life, let this writing transform you from being driven by fear and brokenness to one who is abundantly upheld in strength and who overcomes darkness by becoming richly filled with faith.
