Offering an amazing variety of themes, taken from life and society itself, Fortunet L. Wilson leads the reader through episodes, thoughts, facts, like a roller coaster ride - not in the intension of creating drama, butto make the reader question things to wake him or her up, make him or her aware of all what is going on, to make him or her dare to try new paths, dare to stand up, say no or yes, but at least with some better knowledge. This book jumps straight into taboos and provocative statements, it contents some slaps into faces of both, male and female, but behind all is the love for life, the respect for men, women, our children, equality of genders and all human beings and the will to create a better future for our kids. The author's message is clear: "You have the power to change the world. You should stop sitting by and just letting it all crumble from beneath your feet." His chapters may contain plenty of thoughts which may upset or even shock a reader, but to end with Mr. Wilson's words: "Get mad, get happy, but most of all get smart."

We find ourselves so busy that we don't take the time to enjoy simple pleasures. Listening to the birds in the morning hours, taking a walk on the beach or even watching a lovely sunset. When was the last time you did any of these things? This book focuses on some of these little things that brings us much pleasure, yet we take them for granted. It paints a picture in your mind or offers you an escape to mentally be transferred to other more peaceful surroundings. Allow yourself to be transported to a lake watching still blue water or maybe a nice Fall day where the leaves are blowing from trees. Or maybe just sit back and watch children at play and really listen to their laughter. You see, these are simple things, yet they can also be priceless and so healthy for your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. I hope you will take a moment and escape with me. Enjoy.

"Simple Thoughts" is a collection of 30 poems from several genres that was written by a new author named Larry Muncy. Larry was paralyzed in an automobile accident on February 13, 1991 (almost 3 years after his father's death) on his way to a Poison, Trixter, and Slaughter concert at the Charleston Civic Center in Charleston, West Virginia. Larry was flown to a local hospital via helicopter. It was a ride he did not purchase a ticket for, but he is where he is. Larry hopes his poetry somehow helps others understand how he got there. Larry has experienced life, death, joy, sadness, marriage, divorce, addiction, and sobriety. All of these elements jump from the pages of his book while drawing readers into the poems themselves. Larry has not allowed his paralysis keep him from living a successful life, and he is proud of the fact that most of his major accomplishments have come after his being paralyzed. Larry believes failure is an excuse used by those who choose to not succeed!

'This is what I really want. I want to discover ways to discriminate the important things in human life. I want to find ways of getting past this blind fumbling with existence.' - Marion Milner, from A Life of One’s Own. How often do we really ask ourselves, 'What will make me happy? What do I really want from life?' In A Life of One’s Own Marion Milner, a renowned British psychoanalyst, artist and autobiographer, takes us on an extraordinary and compelling seven-year inward journey to discover what it is that makes her happy. On its first publication, W. H. Auden found the book 'as exciting as a detective story' and, as Milner searches out clues, the reader quickly becomes involved in the chase. Using her own personal diaries, she analyses moments of everyday life that can bring surprising joy, such as walking, listening to music, and drawing. She also records, in a disarmingly clear and insightful manner, the struggle between the urge to order and control one’s thoughts and standing back to let them wander where they may. A pioneering account of lived experience that also anticipates the contemporary phenomenon of mindfulness, A Life of One’s Own is a great adventure in thinking and living whose insights remain as fresh today as they were on the book’s first publication in the 1930s. This Routledge Classics edition includes a revised Introduction by Rachel Bowlby.

Tammy--Each day is a journey. Millie's morning devotions are so inspiring and encouraging to me. As her thoughts and experiences are applied to the Scripture--it gives me a new perspective for each day. Millie's words come so naturally, and I know it is her Love for the Lord. These devotions help me to stay focused on my journey with my life and my Love for the Lord. Jessica--I enjoy the morning thoughts. Millie began writing the morning thoughts when COVID began. In such uncertain times it was nice to have a devotional come through reminding us to stay connected to God. Everything--big or little--can be related to God and you can see God working in everything if you just take the time to look and listen to what message the Lord is sending to you and that's what the morning thoughts do for me. I always try to see God in everything and when Millie sends out our messages, it's another refreshing way to open my mind to how much the Lord loves us and cares for us. And as Millie shares them with us, we can send them to others and spread the loving message of the gospel in a way that others understand and enjoy as well. God Bless Jack--I would like to say that I like to read your little stories about when you and Mitzi go on your days walk. You talk about the weather, the people see, the flowers, workers along the way and how it reminds you of scripture sayings. I really do enjoy them. Thank you for sharing them. Bob and Joyce--We have been reading Millie's Devotionals for several years now and for us they are very uplifting. They seem to address all the things that are happening in our everyday lives. And out of the darkness of times, today they are a bright spot in our day. Jim and Melissa--We are amazed at how this sweet, kind soul has opened our eyes, through word, to God's presence- not only on a good day but difficult days as well. Rich and Lori--"Praise God for Miss Millie's devotion to Christ. These Holy Spirit. inspired writings with concise, detailed connections from everyday experiences help us realize that our God is in every moment. Such a blessing!" Pastor Jeannine--"I love these devotions because I can read and understand them easily; and I can relate so many of them to situations in my own life as well as others. I anticipate reading the next one and the next one. A daily blessing!" Kevin--Oh, how lucky I am. And a reminder of how humble I need to be. Daily inspirations with a lesson and guidance from the scriptures of our Lord. Walks with Millie and Mitzi...smiles abound! Everyday messages that speak to splendor of life, or a description of nature's creations, that are around us. A counsel for us to have empathy to hardships and sorrows that others may face. Pausing in my daily tasks--for in each message I may find comfort and some joy, a need to grin, or a need to pray for others, or even a reflection I find I need to take on myself. And how fortunate I am, receiving multiple blessings in each message, as I receive a thought in my own journey with the Lord and a daily walk with her--my mom!
