Today, Michael’s parents are taking him to the skating rink. He’s going to try skating, and he couldn’t be more excited! Except ... the other skaters sure do move fast. And what if he falls down? What if they crash into him? Michael has all the equipment he needs, but something is still missing. Not today, he thinks. Maybe tomorrow. With a little encouragement from his parents, and some cheerful reassurance from his best friend, Michael sets off for the rink again. Will this be the day? Will Michael overcome his fear, and find out just how much fun a new experience can be? This book is all about taking chances, facing your fears, and finding out how much fun there is on the other side of tomorrow.

Earlier this year I weighed three hundred and forty four pounds, which made me very sad. I had managed to lose forty-six pounds in the past six months and was very happy about that. Today was the day that I would compose my novel "If Not Today, Maybe Tomorrow." I knew exactly where to start. For the last thirty one years I wanted to tell my story. The story of the suffering and pain that wrecked my life, I was torn from the inside out without mercy. The agony of not knowing what happiness or love really felt like. The fear of hiding from the unknown, the panic that lived inside my body each day of my life! The terror I suffer while growing up was overwhelming.

I was never worthy of this given position; But even so there is constant flow; For those who are chosen to listen; Being too careful sometime result in being careless; But this is when words of purpose can truly awaken your Spiritual awareness. Who is it that has a heart to compare? This invitation to a new daybreak; Of meaning and dare this; A true heart kiss will never miss. With divine understanding; It only becomes greater as time shines. Upon later and you find; Who it was that had done all the planning. Spiritual maturity will develop spiritual purity all things in time. Like reading this poetic substance once again to discover the seasoning after the rhyme; encore- given so much more to process than the first time! I have learned that to truly give, I must lose the whole line of pride; Striving to be that servant following GOD as my guide

Boori Monty Pryor's career path has taken him from the Aboriginal fringe camps of his birth to the runway, the catwalk, the basketball court, the DJ console, and now to performance and story-telling around the country. "You've got to try and play the whiteman's game and stay black while you're doing it," his brother used to tell him. With writer and photographer Meme McDonald, Boori leads you along the paths he has travelled, pausing to meet his family and friends, while sharing the story of his life, his pain and his hopes, with humour and compassion.

What a difference a year could make… Jamie Matson had once enjoyed a wonderful life working alongside her best friend, organising adventures for single-parent families, and her son Bo’s artistic flair a source of pride rather than concern. She hadn’t been prepared to lose her business, her home, and her friend. Not all in one dreadful year. And now she finds herself reeling - rebuilding her world, with Bo at its heart - swallowing her pride and asking for help. Jamie certainly hadn’t expected to find such hope and camaraderie in the queue at her local Food Bank - thrown together with an unlikely and colourful group of people - all of them struggling to get by, yet still determined to reclaim their lost careers and agency over their lives. Even if just choosing their own groceries again is a goal they can all share. As their friendships flourish, they quickly find it’s easier to be objective about each other than about themselves, and decide that - when you’re all out of options - it’s okay to bend the rules a little and create your own. A story of friendship, possibilities, and hope, that maybe tomorrow will be brighter than today...
