End Of 2018

Whist this is the end of a really tumultous year, I have had some REALLY HIGH HIGH'S and EXTREMELY LOW LOW'S throughout this 2018 year.  Whether it was OVERLY EXTREMELY SHITTY Indiana weather, Mourning family losses and other distractions from life; there have been books that I HONESTLY have shelved that I intended to share their stories with you and plan on doing so with some BRAND-NEW excellent stories and REAL LIFE lessons to learn as I share them with you. I hope you all weren't disturbed with the recent losses of annual stories to share. But, there are some coming in the upcoming 2019 year. I hope you will all stay tuned to what will be in store. I want to sincerely thank those who have checked out my blog over the years and am very sorry for the loss of up-keep.

To Whom It May Conern

For those of you that read, check out and/or comment on my blog, I'd like to answer a few questions that have come across to me. The first question I'd like to address is the choosing of which books and references of what are inclined in this blog. As far as the choices of what I PERSONALLY pick to discuss is simply either 1) it piques my interest or it is somehow references into a part of HISTORY that is NEVER discussed in the world or classroom or is in somehow in society forgotten but to me is STILL RELEVANT TODAY. 2)  For someone who has spent MANY YEARS on hemodialysis and is now transplanted, I would like to say that if it were someone of that I admire and find interesting, then I am/have always been one who has to know more about that person or event in time. Their story from their own words; which I PERSONALLY find better due to having read their words themselves rather than someone who researched it. (The only qualm about that are the books that were written by those of an event or situation that occurred in prior times. For those certain books, there is a reference of which is shown in the blog which explains why I HAD TO KNOW MORE or the story behind the story)

As far as the design of my blog, it is one of my own choosing and the way I would like to see it formatted in which I designed myself. I never have had issues with plagiarism or copyright violations; due to addressing the author's name and references in which the books are written. Hopefully, this will address any/all concerns & questions in which have come my way. I want those of you who do have questions and comments to express, PLEASE DO! I also want to THANK EACH & EVERY PERSON with whom has checked out my blog and have commented. I am GRATEFUL to those whom read and find something that ignites a learning desire for the unknown.Thanks again to those whom check out my blog and I hope you continue to read/check out my blog.


As for the little postings that there have been, due to the clinical weather of which we were/have been, this blog is one what I hold dear and precious to my heart. When it comes to the little posts, it's due to unforeseen health reasons that have arisen. Nothing is wrong with my transplant, it's just been a year of complete and total exhaustion. From getting up in the morning and getting what needs to be done has drained me completely. But, I do have some books on the horizon that will be foreseen in this blog when the exhaustion wares/ I hope that those whom follow or read this blog will stay tuned to see what comes in the future. Thanks again to those whom check out, read and comment on my blog. . .I truly and sincerely do appreciate it.

A Hand To Guide Me: Leaders & Legends Celebrate The People Who Shaped Their Lives

This new book is one I found something truly profound in this new found book written by LEGENDARY actor and author with his first book; Denzel Washington. In this book, Denzel writes of his own personal story; along with other Legends & Leaders in the world that tells of their PERSONAL stories that defined a moment that FOREVER shaped their lives. Without giving too much away, this intimate reflection proves that one helping hand can change their lives.

From actors to those in government, along with many, many more, this book may give you a different respect in a brand-new light and perspective after seeing their perspectives.

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. - Proverbs

"Show me a successful individual and I'll show you someone who didn't want for positive influences in his/her life." - Denzel Washington

For Denzel, the center of his everything from the time he was 6-yrs-old. From where he learned to play ball, learned to focus and set his mind on a goal, where he learned how to be a man was the Boy's Club.

Others speaking in this book that speak of their own personal moments are of the following:
ICONIC boxer Muhammad Ali, Screenwriter & author Antwone Quinton Fisher; Actor Danny Glover, Whoopi Goldberg; Retired Juvenile Court Judge Glenda Hatchett; actor Mario Lopez, Musician John Mellancamp. Plus Many, Many More. Moments that either reflect on what made them and/or FOREVER shaped their lives and perspectives.




While this blog may be short, the reasons in which I can't describe, are that the stories told are best written by those whom stories were reflected.
