A Second Fall by James Green Price verified 8 hours ago

As a kid, her story greeted my ears with a renewed flavour each time it came. There were stories that made children tremble with fear especially if told at night, and Mary's was one. But even so, we yearned for more. One cold evening, my aged grandma told me that she actually saw the days when Mary laboured in people's farms. So she was not an imaginary Mary but one that once lived. Knowing this has seen her story drift from a tasteful horror to a condemnable reality. It is a crime too difficult to forgive, at least, within the mind of the listener. Although many years have passed since anybody sat me down to tell about Mary, her story is still so fresh on my mind like the day my grandmother made that shocking revelation and this has maintained a burning urge to take it beyond the village square. A Second Fall tells about an injustice of the old. A lonely widow called Mary lost all to men who owe their tradition. Her blood was the price that restored calmness amidst flared ...

The Adventures of Martha Lou and Me: A Collection of Short Stories by Josephine Krause (10 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

My paternal grandma, from the Deep South, was as backwoods as a body could get. She was so country, that country folk looked like high falutin city folk, compared to her. Grandma had a noteworthy Southern dialect that left me gobsmacked every time she spoke. It was fascinating, captivating, enchanting, and a tad odd. I spent my adolescent years growing up in the North having fun adventures with my sisters, especially Martha Lou, since she was the mistress of mischief. Martha Lou turned ordinary events into exciting experiences. The wheels in her brain never stopped turning. This led to many precarious and humorous exploits. As I grew older and retold the stories of my youth, I would recount them in the distinctive speaking style of my grandma, with her ever entertaining colloquialisms of the South. People found my narratives to be heartwarming, wholesome, endearing, and hilarious. If there is one thing that I aim to do... it's to make you laugh! Enjoy the collection of short, ...

Deep inside, you know something. You know that something is holding you back. Now imagine being your best self on your best day. You are about to learn how to step into that mode. (This will happen. Please do send me an email when you "get it".) This book is counterintuitive. And if you know a thing or two about counterintuitive stuff, you know that THEY WORK. - The human condition is universal. It means that each of us experiences it. In this book, I fully discuss it from my viewpoint and reference experiences. I also offer a subtle but simple solution to the human condition.

These are what we call Paradigm Shifts. My diverse collection of experiences has netted me many of these perspective altering shifts. Three of them were ultimately fundamental and has changed how I think, behave and achieve ...
