I would like to submit this book for review consideration. www.lessonsfromagatheringofmen.com From the back cover: What would happen if men came together and began having a conversation about the changing roles of manhood? What if men stopped talking about sports, politics, sex and making money and began a conversation about creating fulfilling relationships, taking care of their health, creating loving families, developing a spiritual connection that nurtured their souls and making a difference in their communities? This is what men’s work is all about. It’s about engaging men in an authentic dialog about the changing roles of masculinity and providing men with a new conversation about what it means to be a man in todays ever-changing world. This book is a wake up call and breath of fresh air for any man who is ready to learn how to move past the antiquated paradigm of masculinity and evolve into the men they were destined to be.

Yes @Mel Hopkins my comment, back in May, about Twitter' and Trump was on point wasn't it? But that was an easy call. Yes @Delano, here are my on my comments a full 6 months before the election I doubt Trump will be elected in the general. Doubted but I did not rule it out. Perhaps this was wishful thinking or a consequence of living in a liberal in a liberal bubble If seems likely Trump will win the Republican nomination, upping the level of absurdity reached with the Palin ticket. Correct If America elects Trump as Pres, we will have officially "Jumped the Shark," becoming a caricature of our celebrity obsessed self. The United States has officially Jumped the Shark The POTUS is like the Queen of England, yielding little power beyond ceremonial and doing the bidding of the plutocracy. I disagree with this now that the plutocracy actually hold the office and several of the Cabinet positions A perversely curious part of me actually wants to see Trump win; just to see what will happen. One should be careful what they wish for It is interesting to observe how women are not nearly as slavishly devoted to Hillary as Black folks are to Obama. It was interesting then; now I find both sad and disturbing the majority of women felt it was in their best interest to vote against Hillary and for Trump. Unless Bernie gets the Democratic nod, Trump has a very real chance of becoming president. Who knows

My introduction to astrology was through the horoscopes, though I always thought of them as the same thing. I took a course in Astrology and learned how to cast charts. I never got really good at interpreting them, as that does take some study and imagination. As I learned more about astronomy and biology, I find it impossible to believe in horoscopes at all. That is not to say that I'm dismissing the impact of celestial bodies on people, I just don't think this influence can be distilled down to a handful of celestial bodies. Our calendar has never been fixed. going from 10 months to 12--on a whim. It has only been a few hundred years when most of the world even used the same calendar. Of course the universe does not conform to our arbitrary labels since it is constant state of flux, and requires correction periodically. Mel previously mentioned Ophiuchus, illustrating that the astrological signs we commonly follow don't adhere to the actual constellations. Of course there is disagreement on whether there should be a 12, 13, or even 14 astrological signs... That vast majority of the material of our universe (dark matter and dark energy) is currently unknown to us. Perhaps it is unknowable--who knows. I'm all for seeking hight levels of knowledge. Perhaps astrology and religion can provide a path to a more profound understanding of the nature of the universe, but more often they seem to lead more restricted understanding

Why White Folks Love Hidden Figures by BAR editor and columnist Dr. Marsha Adebayo “It’s a feel good movie that demonstrates that even during one of the vilest and most racist periods of American history white saviors rose to the occasion.”

No reputable Literary agent will ask for a fee upfront - they get a percentage 15-20% of the deals they make for you. As a screenplay writer - you're best bet is to look for an agent in Los Angeles- they do contracts for screenplays ; remember most screenplay writers have to belong to the writers guild - but before you can gain membership you have to first sell a screenplay - I know it sucks but that's the nature of the game. But who knows you could be the one that breaks the mold. if you turn your screenplay into a novel you may have a better chance of landing a literary agent on the east coast. Those agents represent fiction and non fiction writers. Best way to find a fiction nonfiction literary agent is to use search engine and enter the genre of your project and book agent - for example " literary agent, Occult" this should result in literary agents that represent occult writers. Once you get to their website read their terms carefully - if they ask for money upfront - RUN!!! All this is spelled out in a great book I found "Get Published! Get Produced!  A literary Agent's Tips on How to Sell Your Writing" Much success!
