In this book, you will not only find all of my poetry works at your disposal but also the illustrations and ideology behind the same. As the title suggests, there is something for everyone in this book and I believe that no matter what page you land on, the text will go on to resonate with you and hope that you start to think to yourself, “I’m glad to know that I ain’t the only one thinking this way!”. The purpose of this book is to share with everyone out there some amount of inspiration, no matter how small it may be. I’ve always believed in sharing and helping others grow, during this, you unknowingly grow yourself. The illustrations after every poem, go on to give you a deeper insight into what is the reason for writing and the ideology/thought process that inspires the very words you read. Now, though these explanatory texts may be lengthy, I assure you, giving them a read will be worth the time and it would help paint a much clearer picture of the poetry.

In 1890 the Lauerman brothers opened a general store in the lumber-boom town of Marinette, Wisconsin. The business prospered, and soon the brothers abandoned their small quarters on Main Street for a magnificent department store on Dunlap Square in the heart of Marinette. Thanks to the Lauermans’ devotion to offering diverse merchandise, superior customer service, and loyalty to their employees, the store would remain a lively, vital part of the Marinette fabric for one hundred years. This book traces the history of the Lauerman enterprise and its importance to the community of Marinette and dozens of counties in northern Wisconsin and the UP. The author takes readers on a tour of the store’s most memorable and delightful features, from the plethora of merchandise offered to the record-listening booths to the famous frosted malt cones. Along the way we hear the recollections of dozens of former customers and employees whose memories form a unique tapestry of family, business, and community story. As it brings to life the people who worked and shopped at Lauermans, Something for Everyone will have readers fondly recalling their own favorite shopping destinations during the golden age of department stores.

The urban population is becoming increasingly diverse and growing (ethnic) diversity is having a singular effect on nightlife in Dutch cities. By studying the motivation behind and nightlife choices of the young people who participate in ethno-party scenes, Boogaarts-de Bruin investigates how the changing urban population affects the supply side of the nightlife market using an analytical model she has developed and which she calls the model of structured choice. This approach is sensitive to the flexible use of the processes of agency and structure due to the systematic distinction that it makes between societal and personal factors. Accordingly, it is revealed that in order to analyze and adequately explain the nightlife experiences of and choices made by ethnic youngsters, an integrated model is required which centralizes the interaction between the structural strategies of the producers on the one hand and the personal preferences and agency of the consumers on the other. What is more, this book demonstrates that nightlife has changed because of the increasing ethnic diversity of the Dutch population. Finally, in the epilogue, the fieldwork results are discussed in light of the currently heated debate regarding the integration processes of ethnic minority young people (in nightlife).

Who is the author? Just one of the trillion plus members of humanity who has placed her footprint on the Earth, to stand toe-to-toe with centuries of Earth's past and present successful, famous and infamous inhabitants. Hmm, who judged their competence? We are who we are, and no one knows us better than we ourselves. But, do we actually know who we are? Why we are? Who we think we are? She wonders. Why does she love to write in a form not universally accepted—Poetry? She doesn't know. She doesn't write as the poets of old. She writes for today, her day and age, hoping her efforts will be received in the spirit in which they are delivered. Be assured, her words have been painstakingly chosen. They set a tone of pathos and humor to cajole, inspire, teach, challenge. Some poems are controversial; offered not to provoke, but to stimulate thought, awaken souls, tweak minds, set aflame every reader's imagination, stir emotions, share life experiences, offer fresh points of view. Come, journey with her; see if she lives up to her own personal writing motto: "Plant seeds and keep the blossoms in bloom. Challenge! Entertain! Educate!"
