This book will likely irritate every reader at some point. One chapter is so bold it intones the good of a mother who kills her children. The chapter does not say the murderous mother was a good woman, or that she did a good thing; it doesn't say that her actions should be without penalty or consequence. The chapter suggests, basically, in a metaphoric and anecdotal ending, that the mother loves the ones she killed. PsychoBabbleJabble is full of these kinds of challenges; this book is written and designed to tackle human judgment. My work as a therapist, a clinician, and as a helper in different settings, and in different states even (I am licensed in Florida, the District of Columbia, and Missouri), plus with my hypnosis training, all of these play a role in this writing. The reader will see and experience the maneuvering of words, each used to explain and help promote understanding in how people's judgments are formed. Many judgments are those that I like to call 'terminal thoughts.' For some reason or another, certain thoughts are seemingly non-negotiable to the holder of them. With terminal thoughts in mind (we all have them), I'm able to, using my writing, go with the reader using their various lines of thinking, as if their beliefs are absolutely true. Then, near each chapter ending, I include an alternative and new perspective, where a question about the once absolute belief is now wedged toward and in between a different belief. 'Wedged,' meaning a small detail of alternative thought is strategically placed juxtaposition to a terminal thought, that the reader once used (or uses still, maybe) to hold up a rationale supporting 'truth.' By each chapters end, the belief is jolted loose a tiny bit, hopefully. It is in that jolting, where a belief becomes finally questioned and questionable.This text contains my best writing and some of my best clinical recall. All of my training is included in some way in every part of this text; the hypnosis training kicks my writing up a notch. Here, using people's RIGHTNESS as an ally in shaping a new belief, I contradict the old truth while valuing it, in key and passionate areas of what might be called life and the people that make it so. That's what I'd say this book hopes to do - to jolt loose, just a little bit those absolute judgments we as humans may unknowingly, without ill intent, and possibly mistakenly hold as settled.

When the human race is threatened with extinction, the Master summons one of them to be his voice of warning. Through Ak'Tara, it is revealed and not believed.

As the author's childhood tumbles from her memory onto the pages of print, the reader is privy to all sorts of surprising revelations. Be prepared to chuckle with glee, feel your mouth gape reading about situations too weird to be untrue, wince as your heart breaks in sadness and anger over sordid situations, and shake your head both in disbelief and even perfect understanding of unusual childhood tales. Between the covers of the book, the author's very direct style in sharing the goings-on around her that profoundly affected her talks to the reader personally and even bluntly. As the years pass, the toll from various elements in her life becomes clearer and grows higher.The book's title was chosen because it chronicles from a curious angle a young girl's memories of growing up. The story's framework of recollections connected to given residences, the number of those residences, and the regularity with which this family migrated from one to another was interesting from the storytelling perspective and fortunate for Frances and all her readers. That her memories were mentally magnetized, that they attached and were thereby preserved according to the various times and places Frances called home, was an innovative, efficient, and effective writing device.Use of the rabbit hole idiom was spot-on, because despite growing older, taller, and maturing in ways (growing up), simultaneously an ominous, downward momentum was also steadily gaining more of a foothold in the life of this young person. Left unchecked, this destructive force would increasingly result in a stranger, more problematic, and chaotic life, an exquisite analogy provided by Lewis Carroll.The story shared within this book is a poignant and absorbing account as seen through the eyes of the child who lived it. Much is revealed throughout this narrative, and although the book ends, the story obviously continues. The indubitable question is not written but silently screams, what happens next?

This is a story of a married man with six children whose wife no longer wanted him there and how he dealt with no longer having a family he wanted.

In one awful hour, the Scottish Highlanders lost their way of life forever. Despite surviving the Battle at Culloden Moor, Benjamin MacKenzie and his brothers only had cold comfort from Prince Charles Edward Stuart-save yourselves any way you can. Benjamin whisked his family away to Ireland, thinking they would escape the horrible punishment that awaited them should they be caught by their British enemies. They didn't. In their native home, the MacKenzies were a proud clan with a proud name. In Ireland, that name would become anathema if they carried it forth, and so it became Kimsey. That name didn't hide them either from an English prisoner ship and a fate worse than death: sold as indentured servants in Lord Baltimore's colony. The little family was taken to their knees. With the good fortune of a fellow Scot as their master who became a good friend and set them on their feet again, the Kimseys found a fertile land and a fresh start. While other challenges would test them, including a war with their old enemies, they started a new clan, the head of which would become well-known, and the many generations would claim descent from Benjamin, their common ancestor.

Spit Out Your Game is a book of ten stories designed to start conversation with every young girl, every young woman, and every youth. It's aimed at sharing ideas of unforeseen circumstances that are intertwined with their participation, interaction, and decision-making skills, leading to becoming sexually active. Questions are posed after each story to stimulate and encourage clarity as conversation starters. The purpose is to stimulate discussion about all the intricacies of sexual entanglements and all these risk factors embedded. It is simply a cultural disgrace in many parts of the world that many mature women are silently enjoying their hang-ups mentality. They continue to refuse to talk to their young women and girls about sexual entanglements and the obvious results of these choices.Spit Out Your Game shows that girls and women are not monsters who lurk wickedly behind pretty, demure, cutesy bodies all the time while scheming how to trap young boys and men into marriage, or into paying child support. Most females are oblivious and totally unaware of the traumas their bodies will experience on becoming sexually active due to lack of knowledge about their own existence as women living in their biologically assigned bodies.So no more silence. No more secrets. Spit Out Your Game seeks to bring these silent hang-ups out in the open, inside every home where the stormy wind of sexual involvement is presented to any female. The stories are to be discussed lovingly and openly with the intent of creating an understanding of sexual encounters in our young women, no matter what age range marks their jumping-in point of becoming sexually active.

"e;Put your foot back on the cliff and step away from the edge,"e; said on April 4, 2012, by the newest of our attending physicians to my son, Josh. Josh had just told the doctor that he felt like he was on the rim of a cliff, with one foot hanging over the edge. It was obvious Josh's determination to keep fighting was what was hanging on that cliff, teetering all too close to the edge. As the doctor got up to leave Josh's hospital room that day, Josh mustered every bit of energy he had, fought the pain he was feeling in his legs, and stood up to shake the doctor's hand. The doctor's pronouncement gave us all hope that maybe, just maybe, there might be some answers among the myriad of doctors that had paraded through Josh's hospital room.On that day in the little notebook that had become my own daily log regarding Josh's medical condition, I wrote, "e;Thank God for this doctor."e;This is not a story, bit by bit, of detailed medical jargon or descriptions. It is not meant to cast doubt on individual doctors, decisions made or not made, the medical profession, or military hospitals. It is simply a story of courage.Courage, "e;the ability to face danger, difficulty, uncertainty, or pain without being overcome by fear or being deflected from a chosen course of action."e; Bravery.

The title, Through the Eyes of the Eagle, was actually birthed three years prior to the writing of the book. When the author was inspired and compelled to write the story of his life three years later in 2017, his remembrance of a spiritual experience that took place in 2014 would be the stimulus to consider the title. This spiritual experience was an actual visitation and sighting of a golden eagle. This experience became his motivation to choose the title. The title chosen is really a metaphor of sorts and symbolic representation of the author's spiritual eyesight wanting to convey this compelling story as seen through his eyes. When the visitation and sighting took place in August 2014, the author knew there was a higher spiritual connotation to be understood.Yearning for the meaning, the author researched the significance. What the author learns put his compelling story of his life into perspective. He realizes the significance of this sighting was proportionate precisely and relative to what he had been through in his life and what he had learned from a higher perspective. What he learned and already understood were the specifics of spiritual messages that the eagle is trying to convey when one is visited by one.Specifically, when the eagle appears, one is to be fully aware, to be courageous, and to stretch one's limits. Look at things from a new and higher perspective, and know that the future holds possibilities that one may not be able to see. Additionally, with respect to its symbolism and powers, the eagle conveys powers and messages of the spirit. It is man's connection to the divine. In this sighting, the author learns and understands that the eagle bestows freedom and courage to look ahead, and the lesson of the sighting is that one must have the courage to relinquish the state of comfortable habits and beliefs to soar into unknown realms and realities. On that particular day of his life, it seemed to the author that the lessons learned summed up his entire life story.After this magnificent experience, friends, with whom he had shared the spiritual experience of the eagle sighting with, gave him the name Eagle because of his spiritual eyesight and its accuracy. In their opinion, his eyesight was as impeccable as the eyesight of an eagle. The name given stuck and became a profound inspiration to the author to eventually convey this compelling and inspirational story as seen through his eyes, the eyes of the eagle.
