In what he describes as "probably the darkest period of my life," Daroun Jamison struggled as a prison inmate to imagine the possibility that he could ever rebuild his life. In 1995, as he approached his eighteenth birthday, homeless, hungry and out of control, Daroun made a series of reckless, fateful decisions. Among the results were a near-fatal gunshot wound to an innocent and unintended victim and an 18-year prison sentence that would not end until 2011 when Jamison was 34. Yes, I've Made Mistakes-Your Past Doesn't Have to Determine Your Future, recounts Jamison's experiences as a troubled youth and former inmate and his journey to becoming a responsible, caring adult. The book's focus is on two important questions that dominated his thoughts during those prison years: first, how can one move forward after life-altering mistakes and bad decisions, and second, how does one avoid making the choices that can lead to undesirable or unexpected outcomes. Because it is based on real-life experiences, Yes, I've Made Mistakes offers practical advice and strategies-including a six-step process-to improve decision-making and help solve problems in positive, productive ways. Its aim is to inspire readers and offer resources to those who want to improve their lives. Its message is one of self-empowerment through self-examination and personal responsibility and reflects the author's belief that everyone has the capacity to be and do better.

A hardcore player falls for the one woman he shouldn’t in this captivating enemies-to-lovers romance. Keep your friends close... And your enemies closer. From the moment Leilani Hart stepped foot into our quaint town, I knew she was trouble. With her big-city ideas and hotel heiress reputation, our picturesque island was at risk of becoming a tacky tourist trap. Well, I had news for her—she'd have to go through me first. From our first meeting, we were like fire and ice, and I couldn't help but imagine melting away all those frosty layers of hers—one smoldering kiss at a time. Love had always been synonymous with heartbreak for me. But for her, I might be willing to risk everything. Even if it means falling... for the enemy.

This book was written to encourage every "special parent" who is carrying or has carried the weight of rearing a child or children - seemingly - alone. Whether your challenge relates to your child or children, finances, a relationship or the lack thereof, your career or educational dreams, or all of the above, this book was written for you. May each chapter leave you with every reason to "bee" encouraged, confident in this very thing - "you are special to, not forsaken by, God." Pregnant at 14, Dianne was quickly counted out by man. Add to her "charges" a second child at 18, welfare, the projects, a divorce, and overwhelming debt. Surely by man's standards she would never amount to anything. "Impossible" is what many thought - and said. BUT GOD! has turned Dianne's mess into a message of hope with evidence of His love and the unlimited possibilities in Him. Dianne graduated (pregnant) with her high school class - with honors - and has since earned four degrees including a Master's in Educational Leadership and a Doctorate in Biblical Studies. She is CEO of her own corporation and living single in Biloxi, Mississippi, with a testimony that God will keep those who want to be kept. Dianne's message is practical with the aim to encourage hearts with the truth that what God is doing for her, He can do for another - that and much more!

The Drama Continues…. I ask myself a few questions every day. Does time heal all wounds? Can a broken heart heal… eventually? Is love really worth it in the end? And the most important question of all… is forgiveness possible? For Becky Sloaner, when the two most important people in your life back stab you, trust and love were two things that couldn’t be brought back to the equation, no matter how badly those that hurt you were sorry. For Jenna Sabini, her whole life was about to crash. With friendships fizzling and ex swim team members going off to do their own thing, at least she still had Annabelle and Tom by her side to finish off senior year with. What’s the worst that could happen? It’s not like she had any dangerous enemies, lurking in the shadows waiting for her. Or… did she? For Tom Colleto, he’s had trouble remembering who his father was ever since he disappeared years ago. But things were getting strange. Faint warnings surprise him when he least expects it. A certain darkness has been creeping in the shadows, and Tom acknowledging it might mean the difference between life and something… very, very bad. For Annabelle Simms, the divorce her parents were on route for was tearing their family apart. When you’ve spent your entire life walking on eggshells, it was unfair that one moment of defiance would be the catalyst that ended everything. At least she still had two people she could count on, her best friend Jenna, and her boyfriend, James. With those two by her side, making it out of this nasty storm seemed possible, even if scars were guaranteed. For James Lawson, there were only two things he cared about. Winning fights and his girlfriend Annabelle. And nothing would ever change that. Reaching a high level of success under Rome’s rule in such a short period of time had everyone looking at James with new eyes. When you’re willing to risk it all for the win, Romilly Matos always noticed, and whether James was ready or not, he was about to enter a world where the bad sneaky guys ruled the game, all at the cost of the good guy. But business was business, and he was an asset now, one that Rome wouldn’t be letting go of, no matter how dangerous things got. Success always had a price. Warning: Contains sexual scenes, some bad language, and includes scenes of violence and hostility. Recommended for ages 17+ Me and My Boyfriend is a 116,000 word Young Adult Romance novel.

First published in 1998, this book is a study on the influence of emotions on autobiographical memory in dementia. Based on eight in-depth case-studies of older people with dementia, collected over a two year period, the general findings of this innovative study reveal the strength and durability of the personal narrative even as cognitive processes decline. Using a psychotherapeutic approach, the author is able to demonstrate that the retention of a personal past give a sense of narrative identity and well-being to sufferers of dementia and has an important part to play in dementia care training. Researchers, teachers and students will find this book a useful resource, together with those who work in the field of ageing and dementia care.

In writing this book, I was imagining myself living in a free World. This book was not written for anyone to subscribe to. The thoughts and expressions are just that, my thoughts and expressions, yes they belong to me. Ive always thought out of the box, and I mean out of the box without any confinements. Ive heard the expression out of the box on many occasions, but how far individuals are willing to venture out, is almost always limited. We should all have the freedom to think, we should all have the freedom to express ourselves, and we should all have the freedom to be free. How is it that we dont want to know who are enemies are, and how is it that we want others to think for us? I am right, but Im not afraid to be wrong. In essence everything is a matter of opinion. There is no right, and there is no wrong, for we are all right, and we are all wrong. It is just our interpretation of the truth, and for a lot of us, its what we want the truth to be.
