"Can You Feel Me"? An emotional, sensual, reflective journey through life, love and the endless pursuit of happiness illustrated through poetry and prose. I began writing at the age of nine as the result of a difficult home life. Writing became an outlet of expressing the feelings and thoughts that no one wanted to hear, but that everyone at one time or another has felt. I fell in love with the power of the written word after having to memorize the Langston Hughes poem "Dreams" in the third grade. I felt the truth in each phrase and the inspiration in each word to hold fast to dreams. I wrote and directed my first play Lets Kick the Statistics at the age of 15 and a second play "What Did He Do Wrong", an anthology of predominantly African American poetry and prose at the age of 18. Although, I took a hiatus from writing to start a family, it was always my desire, my dream, to one day write something that would touch the world, and make it cry tears of understanding. To influence the masses reflect on the ways they have felt or have made others feel.

THE PAST IS OVER. THE PRESENT IS LIFE. THE FUTURE IS YOURS. SOMETIMES YOU DON'T CHOOSE THE BOOK; THE BOOK WILL CHOOSE YOU. Do You Feel Me? is the heartfelt journey of a young blind man (Jonathan) bullied throughout his childhood for being different. The only person that doesn't judge and sees the kindness in Jonathan's heart is Andrea—his only friend. She helps him through. As Jonathan gets older, he begins to overcome his past traumas, refusing to let them interfere with his future and blossoms into a highly successful businessman. However, it isn't long before Jonathan once again comes into contact with his childhood bully—but with the roles now reversed with the bully as an employee and Jonathan in control as the boss, how will Jonathan choose to use this power? Will he seek revenge? Or will he continue to be the same kindhearted Jonathan he's always been and leave the bully to his own conscience—because as many people know, sometimes the best revenge—is doing nothing at all. The Mind Unleashed is a collection of numerous stories about different elements of life and the events that occur in society today. The mind has so many thoughts running through it at all times, and it's not often people put them onto paper, but Rem Conway decided to turn his thoughts into stories. With struggle, spirituality, positivity, and inspiration, it is a sure thing that there is a story in The Mind Unleashed for everyone.

Meditations on the Psalms helping women to express their feelings and grow in their faith. Many of us suppress our feelings because we’re worried they are ungodly. Others of us are so led by our emotions that we let them dominate everything, including our faith. In these honest, personal and uplifting meditations on 24 selected psalms, Courtney Reissig looks at emotions we all experience, ranging from shame, anxiety, and anger through to gratitude, hope, and joy. For each, she shows how the psalms give us permission to acknowledge how we feel before God, and how they can help us to use those feelings productively and faithfully. This inspiring book will give women a language to cry out to God in order to help them process their feelings, as well as help them to grow in their faith. Can be used as a daily devotion.

The Almighty has bestowed upon us the gift and blessing of "life” and it is up to us to decide how we will use it. Life is all about savoring each moment and making the most of them. Similarly, this anthology presents a compilation of life experiences and feelings penned down from the deepest and darkest valleys of our hearts. This anthology contains poems, short tales, articles, essays and open letters on life and experiences written by the co-authors for the readers to comprehend, relate, and rejuvenate their perspectives on life and dive into the magnificent journey of looking for the true meaning of existence. The purpose of life is a nebulous concept. It's never the same twice. Every soul on this planet is unique in its own way and has a different outlook on life. It is all about standing tall and falling down, enduring all the life's storms and refusing to give up. Through CAN WE FEEL YOU TWICE - LIFE?, we've done our best to collect pieces of beautiful and diverse emotions in order to inspire and make you think about what it would be like if you had a second chance at life.

The mental well-being of children and adults is shockingly poor. Marc Brackett, author of Permission to Feel, knows why. And he knows what we can do. "We have a crisis on our hands, and its victims are our children." Marc Brackett is a professor in Yale University’s Child Study Center and founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. In his 25 years as an emotion scientist, he has developed a remarkably effective plan to improve the lives of children and adults – a blueprint for understanding our emotions and using them wisely so that they help, rather than hinder, our success and well-being. The core of his approach is a legacy from his childhood, from an astute uncle who gave him permission to feel. He was the first adult who managed to see Marc, listen to him, and recognize the suffering, bullying, and abuse he’d endured. And that was the beginning of Marc’s awareness that what he was going through was temporary. He wasn’t alone, he wasn’t stuck on a timeline, and he wasn’t “wrong” to feel scared, isolated, and angry. Now, best of all, he could do something about it. In the decades since, Marc has led large research teams and raised tens of millions of dollars to investigate the roots of emotional well-being. His prescription for healthy children (and their parents, teachers, and schools) is a system called RULER, a high-impact and fast-effect approach to understanding and mastering emotions that has already transformed the thousands of schools that have adopted it. RULER has been proven to reduce stress and burnout, improve school climate, and enhance academic achievement. This book is the culmination of Marc’s development of RULER and his way to share the strategies and skills with readers around the world. It is tested, and it works. This book combines rigor, science, passion and inspiration in equal parts. Too many children and adults are suffering; they are ashamed of their feelings and emotionally unskilled, but they don’t have to be. Marc Brackett’s life mission is to reverse this course, and this book can show you how.

Private Michael Davidson, USMC, spoke about his family’s history while we were serving together aboard the USS Portland on a NATO exercise in the north seas. He recounted the military heroes in his family, from the Prussian War in Austria in the 1870s through both world wars. But the story ends when Private Davidson was killed in 1982 in the U.S. Marine Corps barracks bombing in Beirut. Immortal US tells the story of Davidson’s family roots, beginning with his Jewish great-great grandfather immigrating to America from Austria in 1875 with his mother, and making a living as a juvenile on the streets of New York after his mother died of tuberculosis. He lived in a world of gangsters, prostitutes, and violence, even serving time in jail. Later, he started a successful hotel and raised a family that would serve heroically in the American military. Michael’s great grandfather’s eldest son was buried in France after falling as a U.S. Marine in Belleau Woods, France. His Uncle Michael fought as a USMC captain during World War II, dying in the German Reichstag while pushing to take Berlin in 1945. His aunt, Lieutenant Anna Davidson, was betrayed by a double agent as a British/American spy and was shot while trying to evade capture. This book is about a classic American family, not famous, but one that gave everything for the American dream.
