hen life hurts this much there’s got to be a happily ever after, the light at the end of the tunnel, a reason for everything, hasn’t there?
This is the story about two women who fight through the struggles of life in two completely different ways. One woman strives to keep a desperate grip on reality whilst the other immerses herself in a virtual escape to deal with her pain. From being a mother to finding love on the other side of the world, the story will take you on an emotional rollercoaster. Two worlds collide as we travel through time with them, sharing the laughter and tears. Australia. Imagine a woman who would not be seen dead without wearing her make-up, hair done, classy attire and definitely dressed to impress, doing her job as an administration assistant. Then imagine going to the movies and in the waiting room with a few arcade games you see this woman, a business type of woman, high heels, holding a gun playing Time Crisis. You may shake your head in disbelief but that is exactly where you might just stumble across Zéphirine whilst she indulges in one of her gaming kicks. Across the other side of the world, somewhere in the UK, there’s a woman who likes to not be seen, who always throws on the ballet pumps and it’s not until she’s halfway to where she’s going that the realization of her appearance dawns on her. Hair tied back in a bundled pony, not a hint of makeup and a distinctly frazzled aura always chases her like a dark cloud. It’s not that Allanah is dirty or unkempt, it’s partly due to thinking the mirror is no friend of hers and partly because everyone else is more important in her world than she is to herself.
10
These two women couldn’t be more different. Two separate lives living at opposite ends of the globe, yet their lives are more intertwined than they will ever know. Their experiences that shape them in childhood, through their teenage years and married lives lead them to both want the exact same thing. Every woman’s journey is filled with hardship and pain, we join the both of them as they strive to make sense of their experiences and conquer love, life and happiness. Although it’s sure to make you smile and wonder, it’s not a story of complete happiness and laughter. Online dating, drugs, cheating, abuse, Second Life, lies and betrayal, are just a few things the reality of life hurled at them.

ome people say life really begins at 40. It can, if you’re healthy and physically fit. But getting into shape—really fit—after the age of forty can be daunting for some. Not only are you tasked with building muscles that can be very weak, but also—due to the natural aging process—your skin and tendons have lost some degree of elasticity and your knees and other joints aren’t what they used to be…but that can all be turned around. It’s not only possible to get into the best shape of your life after 40; it’s actually easier than you might expect—if you have a proven roadmap and guide who’s been there, done that and is living it.

If you want to know how to reconnect with your inner “broken heart” this is the book for you. Everyone has a definition about a broken heart, some say it is sadness, others say it is something I have to “get on with my life.” But the broken heart remains broken as if you are undergoing forever Post-Traumatic Stress. The truth is you have to get down and dirty and build a new pathway. It starts out by digging “deep” into your being in order to come out at the other end of the tunnel and become what I call the “Real You.” Moments in this book border on powerful discoveries that appear simple, but as in all nature simple survives to overcome adversity. If you follow the rules in this book, you will rise to the center of your consciousness in the “Real You.” Once you have accomplished this, you will be continually speaking from your full heart and not a remaining broken one. I recommend this book for your reading. I give a big hug or otherwise called “marasmus” to you and your family. These rules will get your brain working on a happy healing, love and new start on the pathway “to heal a broken heart.

KILLEBREW
If she could form the words she would talk of regret for ignoring her twin boys when they begged her not to leave that night. If she could cry, she would try to wash away the sorrow. But the tears can’t come. If she had full use of her hands, she might try to hold on to the past. Now, she’s lucky to grasp a pot to cook.
- Candace J. Samolinski, The Tampa Tribune
What would you do if you suddenly found everything you knew was taken away from you? What if in the blink of an eye, you no longer were able to speak, walk, work, or dress yourself? What would you do if you could not even tell your children that you loved them? For Debbie Killebrew, these horrible questions came true in one night of drinking that changed her life forever. However, Debbie has fought to overcome the impossible, even when she was told that she would never walk again, never drive again, and never live a normal life again. Her inspiring true story will show you that no matter what twists and turns life takes, you can get up and keep going – and also serves as an unfortunately realistic testimony about how drinking and driving can truly take away everything you know.
D
ebbie’s journey has been filled with an array of obstacles all taking physical and emotional tolls on her wellbeing—but Deborah is a survivor. After being shaken with the news that she was adopted, Deborah struggled with her identity and self-worth. Deborah’s story, “Finding My Way Back” encompasses her struggles with addiction, which led to a near fatal car accident after a physical altercation with her then-husband. The hardworking single mother of three was ejected from a moving vehicle suffering serious injuries, including a Traumatic Brain Injury. Deborah shares her how difficult it was to overcome such a debilitating injury, and how it changed her life completely. Without the guidance from God and the unconditional love from her family, she wouldn’t be where she is today.
14
Her sister was told that Deborah only had 24 hours to live after the alcohol-related accident, and that 70 percent of her brain would be destroyed, but Deborah beat all odds and is a walking miracle. Second chances don’t come along very often, so when Deborah Killebrew was offered hers, she made sure to take full advantage of the opportunity to turn her life around. “Finding My Way Back” encompasses her struggles with addiction, which led to a near fatal car accident after a physical altercation with her then-husband
Deborah’s goal is to reach out and let the world be aware of the dangers of driving under the influence. She has become an inspirational speaker so that she can share her story in hopes that she can prevent another life from being affected by drunk driving.
Deborah’s struggle throughout her recovery from her Traumatic Brain Injury demands to be heard by anyone who has gotten behind the wheel after drinking, because it only takes one lapse of judgment for your story to end. Her inspiring true story will show you that no matter what twists and turns life takes, you can get up and keep going — and also serves as an unfortunately realistic testimony about how drinking and driving can truly take away everything you know. Second chances aren’t guaranteed. Debbie plans on using hers to live for her family and share her story as a cautionary tale for others.

ife, the human experience, something that seems to escape us all. What is living wisdom? And how do we discover it? At some point in time, we all feel lost while we’re on this journey, which can result in positive or negative outcomes. In today’s society, it is common to sway toward what is easy and readily accessible rather than what is considered healthy living. It is detrimental to ones wisdom and well-being to practice healthy patterns for our personal lives, our homes and our communities. Some seek religious guidance in times of uncertainty. Rev. Chad C. Fernald believes that the word of God provides the framework - that God’s books of wisdom aid us in understanding and relating to the world around us, connecting us to the human experience. Rev. Chad wishes to relay his knowledge and passion for his spiritual knowledge with readers. In his book, “Living Wisdom: Principles for a Life Well Lived”, Rev. Chad provides steps for a balanced, principle based living by exploring key areas of life in which God’s Living Wisdom may be readily applied. Rev. Chad explores biblical books and stories about individual apostles that provide morals of living wisdom. If you are looking for spiritual and religious guidance to discover and cultivate living wisdom in your home, community and spirit, this book is catered to you. By breaking down the meaning of living wisdom and what it means to him and the church, Rev. Chad wishes to help guide you on your journey to wisdom through God’s word.

My “Journey to Success” required me to travel through the 3 “zones” of life. This journey draws many parallels to the Israelites in Egypt. The journey of the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land paints a powerful perspective of three distinct zones people live in regarding God’s abundance. In one way or another, you are living in one of the three zones today: Egypt – The zone of “Never Enough”, Wilderness – The zone of “Barely Enough”, Canaan – The zone of “More Than Enough”. 31

one can deny that in the context of the changing world environment conditioned by what is being acclaimed as the globalization of the Market Place, there is a tremendous need for a common understanding between capital and labor. Women in the workforce, environmental challenges to worker output, the purpose of the minimum wage, worker’s value add, globalization, buzz words of today utilized by Leslie Melville throughout his illustrious career as a Trade Unionist in his native Guyana as he worked tirelessly for the dignity and respect of the Guyanese worker from the early pre-independence, racially divided sixties to the even more racial divided Post-Republic eighties. As a world-renowned Trade Unionist, Mr. Melville often shared his forward thinking views on the requirements for a successful relationship between the Union, the Employer, the Worker, and the Government. Mr. Melville viewed this relationship as a partnership with each side making an equally valuable contribution. One of his primary views which resonates today as unions struggle to remain relevant is his belief that for a union to be successful they must first understand the cost aspect of their demands on the employer’s bottom line in order to better reconcile their demands with the goals of the Corporation as they work within the framework of their country’s governmental infrastructure. Throughout his career, he encouraged the workers to educate themselves so that they can better partner with the employer. Whereas he supported the rights of the workers, unlike most Trade Unionist of his time and of today, he realized that in order for the union to succeed in its quest for worker participation in management, not only must the workers of the organization be trained for their new roles, but more importantly so must the Union’s leadership. Mr. Melville used many forums to deliver his message. This book is a compilation of fifteen thought provoking articles delivered throughout his career on various topics relating the relationship among the worker, the Corporation and the Government. In this book, Mr. Melville describes his work as “A Voice Crying in the Wilderness”, for whereas his work was most often appreciated for its relevance and candor, far too often was it ignored. This book was unfortunately published after his passing in the same year that the people of Guyana worked tireless to create a grassroots campaign to end a twenty-three reign of the Government of one of the parties Mr. Melville rallied against in 2015. Mr. Melville worked & lived this research his entire life, striving to make Guyana a better place. His daughter sought out to get it published, but shortly after he passed away. He didn’t get to live long enough to see this in print today. But I’m sure he’s looking from above smiling down all of us happy to see his words influencing the thoughts and actions of other and for many years to come. 33
