On the tenth day of the month of Muharram, fifty years after the passing of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s), Imam Hussain (a) and a small number of family members and companions were slaughtered at the hands of the Umayyad government. They made their stance on the land of Karbala with determination and resolve. They did not waiver in the face of an army of thousands. They made that stance in the hope that their memory will bring life to a Muslim nation which was spiraling fast down the road of deviance.More than thirteen centuries have passed since. Yet every year, Muslims around the world continue to commemorate the tragedy and remember Imam Hussain's (a) great sacrifice. Devotees from around the globe flock to his grave in Karbala to visit and supplicate. They remember the events of that bloody massacre and the valor of Imam Hussain (a) and his companions. They recite verse and prose in commemoration of that stance.Because of the great importance of the tragedy and the passion that it infused into the Muslim nation, Umayyad authorities did all they could to erase its memory. They forbade the mentioning of Imam Hussain (a), persecuted anyone who professed love to the Holy Prophet's (s) household, and spread false ideologies that absolved them of any culpability. Despite all this, Imam Hussain's (a) stance was engraved into the conscience of the Muslim nation. As Lady Zaynab proclaimed in the court of Yazid, "By God, you will never erase our remembrance or kill our inspiration."

This book is much about the journey to finding complete freedom into blissful living. Years of combined deployments in the household, paired with stressful responsibilities in uniform, contributed to the demise of a professional woman's desire for love. To be free is to be happy. Happiness involves love, and happiness is the most critical ingredient to blissful living! I must admit, part of the reason why I decided to write this book is to share my experiences and mishaps in hopes that someone out there can find some comfort in knowing they are not alone. Others go through the same trials and tribulations daily. We, as responsible adults, make decisions riddled with risks and peppered with consequences that we either become defeated or turn into resilient people. I prefer to be resilient and live a life that is enjoyable and peaceful. We only die once! Death is not a reoccurring event. Once you die, that is it! You leave behind the people you love, and hopefully, you leave enough legacy that you will forever be immortalized in their hearts and minds. So why not enjoy life to the fullest while you can? Let go of your hang-ups. Live a little, risk a little, laugh a little, and fuck a lot!

With a sharp wit, and an abundance of sarcasm and cynicism, it is as though the author was looking under every rug and opening all the closet doors exposing the dirty little secrets and the skeletons that have America marching toward the exit doors of history.By calling to remembrance our foundations of freedom and recognizing the fragility of our nation today, the author exhorts the reader to embrace truth, justice, and the American way. He identifies that 42% of the electorate reside in twenty-five metro areas that seem to be led by one political movement and ignored by the other major party. He challenges the reader to re-examine their choices of leadership by highlighting issues requiring values judgments and exposing the godlessness of the political movements that have our nation wallowing in the mire of wokeness and sliding toward the exits of reality and righteousness. The author addresses controversial issues, including the evil triangle in the black community that through personal greed for wealth and power has ushered in calamity, catastrophe, and the destruction of the black family. He sees the world as standing on the threshold of tribulation and Armageddon and offers a biblical perspective by recalling events in human history where evil conspiracies had consumed and corrupted the modern culture. He includes a stunning illustration of a nation's demise that fell victim to the corrupt leadership of those with religious influence and political power that resulted in the population's apathy and selfishness.He reminds the readership that accountability is a real thing, and judgment day is approaching. Every individual has a free-will that makes choices. It is these choices for which they will one day give account to their maker. In the meantime, they must live with the consequences of their choices! The author does not leave us simply with the identification of the problems, and the whining of the politicians, and the hopelessness of the status quo. He suggests solutions, real solutions, that hold the prospect of America returning to it's "shining city on a hill" status in a world of chaos and corruption.
