In Lord Byron's lifetime, details of his travels were widely known through poems set in different countries, ranging from his homes in Scotland and England, through Europe and the Middle East, to the South Pacific and into extra-terrestrial realms. At the same time, a much more personal story was being shared with friends and family. Even when divided from those whose company he most enjoyed, Byron continued to share his thoughts and feelings about wherever he happened to be. His compulsive letter-writing reveals a strong desire to reach across space, to connect and reconnect with those elsewhere. While his memoirs did not survive the ceremonial posthumous bonfire at 50 Albemarle Street, many of Byron's correspondents treasured every word in their possession. This means a remarkable legacy has been preserved in letters that still seem as alive with conversational energy as when they were dashed off more than two hundred years ago. Through Byron's letters and journals, we are still able to become mental travellers, transported across time and space by this brilliant, mercurial, magnificent and often maddening writer.

An action filled memoir from the fastest stick horse in the Dakota's as a child, to Air Force fighter aircraft supersonic speeds to later in life, sailboat speeds. From Air Force Top Gun flying to later Airline International widebody 747 flying and cockpit fine dining. From farm boy cowboy boots to combat boots; then penny loafers and now boat shoes. And now, so importantly, my quest to Honor Our Creator "Abba" or "Daddy" of all mankind, for all my blessings that are available to all as well, by Honoring Our "Inner 'small' Voice."There is always an "In the Beginning" for everyone and even for Our Creator. Our Creator's Universe beginnings are superbly spelled out in Our Creator's Word, or His Book of Genesis. There are numerous books canonized into Our Creator's Word, and is surely the greatest, most complete "Memoir" of all times!!! And so important, is that Our Creator's "Memoir" does not need to be a religion, nor become a religion. It is respect for His Deity and it is a standalone, beautifully done lifestyle guide from Our Creator Father to reveal His nature; plus, our assured life pathway back to Himself, and guaranteed by His Son, Sir Jesus, via His empty Cross signature.My memoir is for the benefit of my precious grandchildren and also share with the world, my perceptions how Our Creator gets things done within His Universe, and the means that He used to create all that is both tangible and intangible, and all that is both visible and invisible as well. Our Creator created transmutable energy within our Universe, or which can transfer from one form to another, but never lost.. Electrically natured cnergy is one form and can be measured, but invisible until needed and applied. Our Creator also created His human creation with an internal, electrically natured neural circuitry; thus, as recorded in His Book of Genesis, we humans were created "in His image" and by Our Creator's intended design, we humans are spiritually reachable and can converse with Our Creator Father via our inner voice.Summarily, the very same energy that Our Creator used to create all that "is," is the very same energy that can return "we" humans to His eternal, spiritual realm by simply asking. All that is needed according to His Word, is enough spiritually positive, electrically natured energy in the size of a "mustard seed." All guaranteed by His Son, Jesus, upon the Cross!!! And "in my opinion," additionally notarized by His created Cross upon His servant Donkey's back during His "In the Beginning." Thus, this book is dedicated to the Donkey!!!

This luxury cruise was to test us. Others would probably give their right arm to participate in such a journey. If we still go ahead with it, even if it is the last hurrah in our long life together, will we survive it physically, financially, medically, mentally? And would we, by any chance, actually enjoy it? Or was that too much to ask.

You're Not a Murderer: You Just Have Harm OCD takes the reader on the journey of mother and writer Kim Conrey and her oldest child, Finn, as they grapple with the unseen, misunderstood beast known as obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). This includes Kim finding teenaged Finn shaking and dry heaving on the bathroom floor and saying if the violent, looping images they see in their head could come true, then they don't deserve to live. While an estimated 1 in 40 adults and 1 in 100 children suffer from OCD, it is estimated that up to 50% of both groups also suffer with the intrusive violent thoughts of Harm OCD and it is estimated to be even higher among youths at 70%. These thoughts include frightening, recurring mental images of hurting oneself or others. The fear and stigma of disclosing such notions keep sufferers from getting help. No one wants to admit to thoughts of harming someone they love. But they're not murderers: they just have Harm OCD. In this authentic and courageous memoir, a mother will reach into her own past of dealing with Harm OCD and attempt to drag some light into the present to illuminate both their paths.
