"Women Telling Our Story - Baring our Soul from Behind the Wall " is a compilation of stories told by incarcerated women as they begin the process of healing. These women could be any one of us except they lost their way mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually. The telling of their experiences is helping them to reclaim their life, their self esteem. Between 1980 and 2020, the number of incarcerated women increased by more than 475%, rising from a total of 26,326 in 1980 to 152,854 in 2020. Many women in prison have experienced physical or sexual trauma at the hands of men. The past 20 years the war on drugs has also caused significant rise in the number of women incarcerated and their access to adequate drug treatment. These are powerful stories about survival and overcoming the trauma that's intended to destroy so many girls and women.

Great leadership always matters. Yet, there is a noticeable mismatch between what employees want and what leaders deliver. It’s what drives the current state of the workforce. Best-selling author Kevin Wayne Johnson addresses a myriad of challenges and solutions for aspiring and current leaders to narrow this gap. The result is that leaders will know better, do better, and ultimately, lead better. They are servant leaders.

Leadership is a spiritual gift from God (Romans 12:6-8). His Word reminds us that “Every good and perfect gift is from above… (James 1:17). “ Unfortunately, it’s a gift that, from time to time, is misused and abused by some in positions of power and authority. When this happens, leaders at all levels, across multiple venues, cause those who they are entrusted to lead to walk away. People don’t leave organizations. They leave because of poor leadership (people).

Just  suppose that your life was at a crossroads, your marriage was as close to being on the rocks as it had ever been - and it had been so many times, and for a lot of years.  And then suppose that your husband informs you one evening that 'he has predicted the lottery numbers' ... all of them.  The jackpot!  And then, later that same evening, fortuitiously or sadly, he is killed by a Toyota car falling off of a car transporter.  What would be your true reaction?  Yes it is dreadful that such a thing might happen.  And Yes, it is dreadful that your partner of many years is dead .... but did he have the lottery ticket in his pocket?  Have the paramedics, the passers by, the hospital staff now have the lottery ticket?  We all know what our mind should be dwelling on, and what is the RIGHT thing to feel - but is it that easy.  That was this wife's dilemma.  Feel for her, or condemn her ... but walk through the terrible time with her.  After all we have all  heard about 'walking in another man's shoes' etc. ..... and it really is a lot of MILLIONS  to not think about!

In his 7th book, Stewart delivers an exegesis on Buddhism, using The Dhammapada (“Path to Eternal Truth”), which are the verbatim words or declarations of Gautama Siddhartha Buddha himself. Any doctrine other than this and the books of his rules (codes of conduct) have been defiled and should be shunned for this reason.

Hence, if you are new to Buddhism, you will receive the original, verbatim declarations of Gautama Buddha, which are the foundation of his undefiled Theravada Buddhism which means “School of the Elders.” I wish you the best in your quest to attain Enlightenment – Transcendence.
