Coming to a new world, young Kelvin realizes that the wilderness really holds many more lessons than the inner city could have ever taught him. Camp W, in Northern New Hampshire provides the prime location for learning new things, even things that cannot be taught in a classroom. From building rafts, to scaling mountains, Kelvin’s wilderness skills grow and enable him to become a more rounded individual. But young love and true friendship send Kelvin to a whole new world and provide him with the life lessons we all must face.

Through trials and tribulations, Kelvin overcomes many hurdles and learns life lessons some can only dream to learn. Though at the time, these adventures seemed more dangerous than educational, Kelvin learned more during that first summer than he ever would again throughout his life and truly became a man during the summer of 1940.

Failure is an inescapable fact of life. We must deal with it, and so must our children. If we are to help them, we must let them know it’s okay to talk about it. In this children’s book titled “Coach, What am I doing Wrong” the author explains dealing with failure and using visualization and positive thinking to overcome through the eyes of a young boy, Xavier. As a young girl, the author memorized definitions in the dictionary and studied the thesaurus. She fell in love with words and began writing. While writing wasn’t always at the forefront, it was always her passion and remained close to her heart. For more than thirty years, she collected her thoughts in the form of devotionals, poetry and stories. Now, she lives her purpose by sharing her inspirational works to help encourage children and adults to take action for the good of all of mankind.

Caged: Memoirs of a Cage-Fighting Poet

admin — Sat, 05 Jan 2019 03:50:13 +0000

Accomplished MMA fighter and award-winning writer Cameron Conaway presents in Caged the true story of a young man who overcomes a family background and his own inner torment by learning to channel his frustrations into the physical world of mixed martial arts fighting and the cerebral world of poetry and writing. It teaches the value of personal reflection, how life's most painful moments can lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of human nature, and just what is possible when optimism and determination combine to overcome tough odds. Caged shows how the pursuit of two seemingly disparate passions helped a struggling boy blossom into a simple man. The result is a literary and lyrical philosophical journey into the heart and mind of a modern-day warrior.
