In the Author’s circle, there is a phrase called the ugly Baby test. That is when you are the only one who thinks that your book is good. After editing manually more than five times and as many with AI software, I still find my book interesting and vibrant. After seven days on Amazon the book ranked 150,000 out of 8 million titles. The first edition sits at position 6 million, it was totally overhauled to make the Revised edition. The book description says that it shakes the Government, The Society, The Church The School System and you the parents. Then it rattles the consciousness of Haters and goes into forward drive for the love for Jesus. Any book that can do all of that becomes a manual for living your Life.

Excerpts from Through Her Eyes Revised
Chapter 2
Same but different.
Jay always professed himself to be my brother, but he was no brother of mine. Mother died without me giving her credit for her perception of my so-called best friend, whom I considered my brother. She had constantly hammered at me, ‘He is no good; lose him.’ Hard-headed as I was, I stuck with him to the edge of calamity. We were inseparable, as tight as Abbott and Costello, and in almost every class together. After school, we took the Number Four train, where we did our homework to Forty-second Street. From there, we walked to 666 5th Ave, where we worked full-time at a five-star restaurant. There, we jockeyed positions as pastry chefs and grill chefs.
Going to school and working full-time was very taxing, but we didn’t care; it put good money in our pockets which allowed us to dress like pimps and party like we were rich and famous. Besides textbooks, we only read Gentleman’s Quarterly, the leading fashion magazine for men, Ebony and Jet magazines. We dressed G.Q. going to school; we wouldn’t be caught dead with holes in our jeans; only the poor haters came to school with holes in their clothes. We dressed better than our teachers, who thought we were uppity; we were hated by blacks and whites, all thinking that we were uppity and drug dealers. We had the most extraordinary weed connections; one worked for the airlines and traveled the world; we smoked a lot of it but never sold any.
Title: The Essence of Humanity: The Power of Love and Empathy
In the tapestry of human existence, woven through the fabric of time, there is one thread that stands out above all others – the capacity to love. Love is not just a mere emotion; it is the essence of our humanity, the force that binds us together in a world that often seems fragmented and divided. As the old saying goes, “love is just another four-letter word,” but its impact and significance far surpass those of any other word.
Love is not just about saying the words; it is about showing them through our actions and deeds. It is about accepting others for who they are, embracing their flaws and imperfections, and cherishing the unique essence that makes each individual special. True love is unconditional; it does not seek to change or control but rather to uplift and support.
Empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, is another crucial aspect of being human. Empathy allows us to connect with others on a deeper level, to walk in their shoes and see the world through their eyes. It is through empathy that we can truly understand the impact of our actions on others and strive to make a positive difference in their lives.
Together, love and empathy form the foundation of our humanity, the bedrock upon which our relationships are built. They enable us to forge meaningful connections with others, to build communities based on trust and mutual respect. In a world that often seems driven by selfishness and greed, love and empathy stand out as beacons of hope, guiding us towards a brighter and more compassionate future.
So, let us not just speak of love and empathy, but let us live them in our daily lives. Let us strive to be kind, compassionate, and understanding, to love unconditionally and empathize deeply. For in the end, it is not our wealth or accomplishments that define us, but the love and empathy we show towards others.
My Book will be available on Amazon and in Barnes and Noble in two weeks.
What’s something most people don’t understand?
When it comes to other people’s feelings, people can be as abrasive as Sandpaper. In an agreement or a Discussion, they are oblivious of the person’s feelings that they are annihilating with their words. “An Arrow or a Sord delivers a deadly blow, so can words”
The next time you are in an argument or a heated discussion, please measure your words.
What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?
Trampling on your Pride by not defending yourself when someone tells lies about you. I have seen my Mother done it many times to keep the peace and harmony in the Family. Being Humble is as great a gift as Love. I have not Posted in a long time, been busy rewriting my book. Looking forward to my next Post.
