There are many issues that affect the African American community that are not being addressed adequately. For a long time now, many African American people have been under the impression or made to feel that they are helpless and need to depend on someone on the outside to help them rebuild their communities. Of course, this is not true. No one from the outside is coming to help rebuild a community in which they do not live. It is time for us as Black people or African Americans in this country to take responsibility for our own neighborhoods and our own schools and our own economics and our own future. For us to thrive as a community and prosper, we must figure out the answers to these questions and understand why we do not force ourselves to live up to our full potential. It is up to us and only us to better our situations and rebuild our communities.

On a crisp Saturday morning in the year 2034, a spaceship unexpectedly descends onto the lawn of the White House. Four hours later, the world watched as six aliens--as human as we are--descend from their ship. Their leader, Darius, announces that they are a first-contact delegation from the planet Parmithia. They know that Earth is suffering from severe agricultural and environmental crises. Their technology could solve most of these problems. Yet such power can also be used to destroy, something that Darius and his people will not allow. The Parmithian mission is to judge Earth's unity, social stability, and capability to properly utilize their alien technology for the good of the planet.With US Army Majors Phil Casaverde and Allie Heroux providing security and meeting arrangements, the alien delegation visits NASA, the United Nations, Rome, Paris, and other sites. Throughout their tour, the Parmithians are attacked by armed extremist groups bent on destroying the threat of alien invasion. This story addresses several practical questions about what might happen if a technically superior alien culture ever did visit. Would we seek to destroy them? Would they judge Earth trustworthy enough to share their knowledge? A splendid blend of action, plot twists, science, and questions about Earth's values, First Judgment entertains and engages.

Allura Peterson always thought she knew how her life was going to play out. She'd seen it hundreds of times. Turn eighteen, meet mate, move out, start her life. It was almost a step by step everyone had repeated to her throughout her life. Little did she know Fate and the Moon Goddess had other plans for her life. Her mate was in love with another...and wanted nothing to do with her at all.Rejection was not done with a mere few words and tears. It was an extensive process, a medicine, a ceremony, an elixir that would rip your soul from your mate's. Rejections were not common and often never successful. Madness and death were popular outcomes. Only one person had ever survived the process, and he was about to turn Allura's world upside down.Elias Wright needs a mate. No, not his destined mate. She rejected him for a fling she claimed was true love. Now he had to look toward the future, and that meant a Luna for his people. Allura is smart, sexy, and everything a male could ask for. His cousin's destined mate had her own gravitational pull that called to his soul. But Elias wasn't the only one who had his eyes on Allura. A war is coming, and Allura is in the center of it all.Question is, will she save the world, or will she help destroy it?

Have you struggled with drinking or some form of addiction for some time now? Maybe even years? Have you stopped but still feel emotionally or spiritually bankrupt? Have you tried several times to quit but simply can't stay stopped? Have you been told by many others that you need to cut back? Have consequences from your addiction piled up to the point it's overwhelming?If so, this book might be for you. It discusses twelve principles that one can learn in the journey of recovery. Most people think life is over if they must quit drinking or using drugs. The truth is if you're truly an alcoholic or an addict, sobriety is where life begins. These twelve principles were likely taught to you as a child before the addiction began. However, maybe your addiction wiped all those away and that's when the trouble started and began to accumulate problems in health, money, relationships, or spirituality.You deserve a life of happiness, abundance, and love. You simply have to be willing to put down the drink or the drug and follow a few suggestions. A twelve-step program can help with that, but this book talks in detail about the principles that come alive again within us and bring us back to being the person that we were created to be in the first place. What are you waiting for? How free do you want to be? I hope this book sparks an interest in you to get sober. Or if you're already in recovery, it makes you believe that true happiness is possible when these principles are put into practice. Think of how many alcoholics or addicts you can help once you recover yourself. Your story could change or save someone's life. These principles are paramount in that journey. I wish you much success.

As you age, have you ever thought about what your legacy will be for your children, grandchildren, and friends? This book, Mimi Talks to Tyson, was written as part of my legacy to my grandson, Tyson. I wanted to pass down my thinking about what I believe are some of the important things in life. I started writing notes, and eventually this book evolved.I like to say that this book is for children of almost any age, for adults who might need a reminder, and especially for "poorly raised" adults. This is an "advice" book of sorts, which talks about gratitude, choosing your own path, empathy, family, friendship, good health, grief, honesty, and a total of twenty-two topics along these lines. This book is part advice, part spiritual, and part how to live your life well. If you think someone you know would enjoy it, please give them a copy; and if you agree with my comments, please consider it part of your legacy too. I am happy to share it.

In 1824, Boston was a small farming community, about twenty-five miles south of Buffalo, New York. Buffalo itself was still only considered a village with a population of just over two thousand people. It was a hard life in that time where families tried to eke out a meager living selling their crops and growing their own fruits and vegetables to be canned and preserved for the long hard winters. They were a God-fearing community who gathered on Sundays in a neighbor's home to hear the visiting preacher who traveled from town to town until churches could be built for congregations. But just as in our world today, not everyone grows up to be honest and respectful. The three Thayer brothers moved to Boston with their parents and quickly became known as drunkards and ne'er-do-wells. When a Great Lakes seaman by the name of John Love needed a place to stay for the winter while the lakes were frozen over, they offered him room and board for a price. He didn't plan on the ultimate price that he had to pay.When the brothers' crops were not successful, they asked Love for a cash loan to make ends meet. Love was glad to help out his newfound friends. But they never planned on paying him back. Instead, they planned to murder him and hide his body.This was an important time in Western New York; the area was growing in population, and the Industrial Revolution was making life and work easier. The building of the Erie Canal, which traveled from Albany to Buffalo, was one of the engineering marvels of the time and, after many years of labor, opened in Buffalo in 1825.The story builds to the actual murder, arrest, and trial of the three brothers and ends with their eventual hangings in the Buffalo village square in 1825 attended by a crowd that was estimated at the time to be over twenty thousand people.
