Never Got The Memo : Gail Kueker
Never Got The Memo…
Never Got The Memo…is an unforgettable and incredible journey for the REAL quest for LOVE!
Now more than ever women are being encouraged to not only discover but use their own voices in the world.
This particular story helps strengthen and inspire that necessary journey.
So see how one woman journaled her way through life’s twist and turns while discovering her own answers, this book shares an awareness that might even help shift your own perspective on life!
The purpose of Never Got The Memo is not to be a “how-to” manual on achieving life’s desires. It’s more about inspiring direction on how to continuously find the courage to persevere through difficult times. Even though the author does share her own insight and what has worked for her; the intent is to have the reader find empowerment in their own choices.
Gail never really saw what others would determine as limitations, nor did she ever settle for less than how she really wanted to design her own life; even though at times life did show her that it had different visions in mind.
So, see how this woman designed, painted and wrote her way through this very crazy and subjective thing called life!

Growing Up in the Shadow of Yankee Stadium : Lee Netzer
Growing Up in the Shadow of Yankee Stadium in the ’50s and ’60s
This book is a collaboration by two best friends of over 63 years about their experiences growing up in the neighborhood just one block east of Yankee Stadium.
The book describes what made the neighborhood so special to the people growing up there, recounts what it was like to grow up in a very stable, predominantly Jewish neighborhood that was literally in the shadow of Yankee Stadium, and gives a flavor of the neighborhood, including the shop and restaurant owners, the feeling of safety and security, and the level of autonomy that the children growing up there enjoyed that no longer exists in today’s world.
Some of the subjects covered in the book include the sports activities that were available to the neighborhood children, including the “street games” that were unique to the neighborhood; the benefits that the neighborhood’s proximity to the Stadium brought, namely frequent attendance at Yankees and Giants games, including “The Greatest Game Ever Played,” watching games from the roof tops, autograph seeking at the Stadium and getting to meet some of the players; the neighborhood synagogue, Congregation Hope of Israel; the exceptional Concourse Plaza Hotel; the Bronx County Courthouse; and neighborhood reunions of the baby boomers who grew up in the neighborhood more than 60 years later, and much more.

Vicious Season : Faheem
Vicious Season 1 Episode 1
It’s an edutaining, mind racing, eyebrow-raising, blood pressure increasing, page-turning revelation.
This story is loaded with suspense and drama. A sure guarantee to raise the conscious level of the reader way above sea level.
It’s like a modern-day rendition of the fall of Pompeii. Except, the gladiatorial cathedral is in Newark, New Jersey also known as The Brick City.
This city produces more gangsters than a swamp has mosquitoes. Nowhere is safe. Every step you take, every corner you turn, every bridge you cross, and every stop you make, there’s a chance that you take. The youth have become dissatisfied. Dying doesn’t mean much to them. It’s just another part of living.
This problem is not only confined to The Brick City it exists all over this country. The ground under our feet is sinking. This entire land seems to be stuck in quicksand. Look for yourself. You can’t help but notice the abused and wrongfully accused; misconduct of authority, broken homes, gang violence, recidivism, and indoctrination. This exists in every ghetto, low-income housing development, and bungalow.
These atrocities have changed our cities and so-called communities into chemical, biological, and physical war zones. FOR CHRIST SAKE! The people are walking zombies. The mortality rate is terribly higher than the carcinogenic effects of 4th stage cancer. Enough is enough. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.
The revolution begins inside the Essex County Jail. The inmates are sick and tired of standing by and watching those who suffer the same yoke, wear the same boots, and run the same streets get treated like shit.
VICIOUS exposes the real problems of the people all over America while telling an interesting fable.
The story is so close to being real that it makes the reader wonder.

Naturopathic Reiki I : K. Akua Gray
Naturopathic Reiki I: Opening the Way
Positive energy in any form uplifts the spirit. Spirit is that unseen force of conscious energy that we refer to as life.
If life is to be lived in a state of wellness, human interaction is a necessity. Of all the human interactions, touch especially activates hormones, enzymes and nerve stimulation that promote longevity. To touch someone is to be a blessing on so many levels. Physically touch stimulates awareness in the body that prepares the mental, emotional and spiritual self to receive something from the outside world. When that something is powered by a positive force, the body, mind and spirit unconditionally opens up and draws in that which nourishes, soothes and heals.
Reiki is a timeless therapy that provides the human experience with a limitless supply of energy to stimulate regeneration in the physical body, enhances positive outcomes in the mental body, balances the emotional body and reconnects to the divine in the spiritual body.
To learn the techniques of a touch therapy healing art prepares the individual for an accelerated intake of global force consciousness. This is a realm of learning that few embark on. It is a system of change in one’s life that requires discipline, dedication and a reconnection to a way of living that separates you from the masses.
Reiki challenges the serious therapist to tap into an area of human ability that resides in the other 85% of the brain’s capacity. To know the full function of an energy medicine puts the Reiki therapist back in touch with the human ability to see thousands of miles away, to feel totally empowered by the cosmic realm, to know the infinite expanse of what is available in the universe and to open the way for a moment in time where the here and now prevails.
Reiki reintroduces seekers to a way of life that was lost with the ancients during a time when all they had was their energetic abilities for survival and protection. To reconnect with this flow of life renders one timeless and prepared to be a conduit for the power of the universal life force.
Learn the step by step process to enlightening self-care with Naturopathic Reiki I as your guide to Opening the Way for improved spiritual, emotional, mental and physical health.
The first degree of Naturopathic Reiki can be used for personal growth and for non-professional use with family and friends. Naturopathic Reiki I: Opening the Way can also be used by Reiki Teachers as a textbook training manual.
