Focus On Your Goals

About Focus On Your Goals:

I invite everyone to take the time to check out my book as I discuss my journey of failures and success.

Majority of the time you are where you are because you put yourself there. Make a list of what you want in life and what you need and you will notice that list is completely different. I enjoy making people laugh. The book is filled with humor while explaining how a dumb kid growing up was focused on goals and how I made it all happen with the help of others. I also enjoy gambling and had the opportunity to be a casino dealer. I was told I had no chance, I stayed focused and landed a job where they made me Elvis.. Half of the book is filled with great casino stories.

Don’t Resign by Natresha Dawson

About Don’t Resign by Natresha Dawson

For women, we are in an era where it is imperative that we fight to maintain our rights, self-respect, and dignity. This is a witty, true story defying the myth, “women are troublemakers, elevator screamers, and falsely accuses men.” It is a story that takes you behind the Federal Government’s closed doors, revealing what it’s like for women opposing sexual harassment and turns to a system created to fail them.” After flipping through the pages of Ms. Dawson’s book, I had to put down the Michelle Obama book…, Mrs. McKie. Author’s note: Forgiveness is key!

Broadcast Brothers: On The Radio by Steve and Paul Jenner

About Broadcast Brothers: On The Radio by Steve and Paul Jenner:

A true story about love and loyalties in families and family businesses the world over; risk, luck, laughter, hard work – and what happens when the little guys take on the big guys. It is life – affirming, optimistic and uplifting; and it really did happen. It is also Very Funny Indeed. Doesn’t matter if you know nothing or everything about radio and broadcasting; doesn’t matter where you are in the English – speaking world. This hilarious but touching true story is sure to engage and entertain any adult reader born with a sense of humour.

Towards the end of the last century in Britain, there was a modern – day gold rush; the rush to establish independent commercial radio stations in ‘virgin territories’ – or ‘white space’ – throughout the country.

Like Canal Mania and Railway Mania before it, the competition was cut – throat, the race headlong, the consequences unforgiving for the losers, life – changing for the winners. And the name of the game was Frequency Mania – the frantic scramble for control of the scarce FM radio frequencies which determined the rights to provide commercial radio services in regions right the way across the country.

This is the story of two brothers who grew up in the former Nottinghamshire coalfield, whose efforts would define this desperate dash. Without the benefits of money, status or influence, they took on the power of an indifferent Establishment in pursuit of their dreams and in doing so, changed the broadcasting map of the country forever. From toddlers to pirate radio DJs, from rank outsiders to the very heart of the broadcasting business, this is a white – knuckle ride through the country’s opportunities and limitations, told with urgency and a finely – tuned sense of the ridiculous.

With a nod to Danny Baker’s ‘Going To Sea In A Sieve’, this land – based version of ‘The Boat That Rocked’ thirty years after is an affectionate and hilarious ‘Spinal Tap’ for UK radio.

Gods of the Flesh: A Skeptic’s Journey Through Sex, Politics and Religion

About Gods of the Flesh: A Skeptic’s Journey Through Sex, Politics and Religion:

A repressed ex-Christian has a breakdown on the eve of marriage, then embarks on an intimate journey through sex, politics and religion.

Gods of the Flesh is a spiritual memoir, weaving fantasy and eroticism with the big questions of philosophy, history and current affairs. Can Christians be gay? Why was Trump elected—and why was anyone surprised? Do religions have a hate problem, or is there an even deeper problem with love?

Morrow’s journey covers Alaska, Mississippi, Louisiana and Nevada. A Hindu commune, Native American mounds, African fortune-tellers, and the temple of an Egyptian Goddess. Online dating, a hotel foursome, a swingers’ club, and what stays in Vegas. Witch hunts, slavery, nuclear weapons, and the meaning of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (It’s not what you think).

We live in an age of cognitive dissonance, when people struggle to reconcile personal feelings with social norms, and many strike painful compromises. Gods of the Flesh unpacks the customs we take for granted and explores how they evolved. Here you’ll find the information they didn’t teach in church or school. How animals communicate, how Buddha estimated the age of the Earth, why God’s wife was (almost) erased from the Bible, and why millions of spiritual people are atheists. You will learn to shatter paradigms, build your own spiritual practice, get in touch with your body, and create unique purposes in life.

Everything seems perfect until a car accident in the Tuscan countryside shatters this dream. The man survives, the dog dies.

But life must go on and soon Aria arrives, another German shepherd puppy with a connection to the first – and a special talent for attracting trouble.

The Game That Almost Broke Me

About The Game That Almost Broke Me:

The Game That Almost Broke Me is the inspirational story of Tavarski Wallace, an ambitious player in the game of achieving a spot in the NFL, and a resilient player in the turbulent, challenging, and sometimes unfair game of life. The intriguing evolution of “Taz” Wallace is remarkable in this book-long journey, which is marked by milestones of overcoming adversity – from resolving struggles academically, supporting his hard-working single mother, to ultimately managing the unforgiving politics of professional football.

From modest beginnings in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Taz documents a series of key relationships which shaped him as an individual and helped fuel his dreams of becoming a linebacker in the NFL. With unrelenting persistence every step of the way, the experiences, failures, and surprising successes of Taz in The Game That Almost Broke Me prove how the American Dream can dramatically transform with time, and may even become something entirely different in the end.

In The Game That Almost Broke Me, Taz writes about the decisions that shaped his life. Taz’s transparency about his journey will inspire readers to hold on to belief in the midst of adversity and win in the game of life. Perfect for anyone looking for an inspiring story.

About Danger: I’m A Nurse With A Penis: Stories And Lessons From The Field by Walt Cummings:

I follow only one rule: go to where the pain is. I’ve been a male nurse for 5 years and want to share my adventures.

I’ve also asked the following questions as guideposts:

What do men really need to know about nursing?
What can I share to add value to people considering nursing as a career?
What would I have wanted to know when I was 18 years old?
How could I express what people need to know, not what they want to know?

I quit nursing, only to come back again. Here are some stories and lessons along the way.
