The African American experience is about hardship, overcoming adversity, physical pain, humiliation and freedom. We are at a crossroad in our culture where there are many paths to take. This book addresses the dilemma and choices confronting the Black community, such as AIDS, Homosexuality and the growing down low population, Relationship survival between African American Men and women. Interracial marriages, identity crisis among biracial children, Increased cohabitation and decreased commitment to marriage, Decreased birth of children between African American men and women. There are many forces against survival of the African American culture: Single parent families, economics, decline in educational degrees of higher learning, Me Generation, and loss of respect for elders or traditions. The question remains, can or will the African American race survive or will it become blended into the larger society and lose its distinct identity. I hope this book will educate, and inspire you to re-examine everything you hear about the Black community and decide for yourself if you are a part of the problem or a part of the solution. This is a new dawning.

Angels Among Us, Earth Angels This book is written to acknowledge all the Angels posing as unknown strangers who have crossed my path on frequent occasions. I realized, after my God Mother died July 17, 2005, that I had been in presence of Angel. I now believe that we are Earth Angels, all sent by God, and that we are here to earn our "Angelic wings" through our service to humanity. Therefore, no life is in vain, and no life is greater than another, except in our commitment to giving and service to God's other children.

If we could rid ourselves of our rigid beliefs about life and the conditions we encounter, negative emotions could never create havoc in our life. All of the emotions and feelings you are experiencing right now are deeply imbedded into the matrix of every cell in your body and mind. If you desire to change the events in your life, to move in a new direction, you will need focus, clarity of thought, self discipline and spiritual awareness. All will help you to release the destructive mental and toxic emotional behavior patterns of doubt, distrust, worry, frustration, anxiety, condemnation, anger, and fear. All of these emotions rob you of self-worth, self-esteem and self-confidence. The emphasis in this book focuses on fear, because it has the ability to paralyze your thought processes, and render them useless to process new information. It steals your joy, your fire and enthusiasm (light).
