The things I've seen and experienced in the spiritual realm I'm expressing in this book will make a believer of someone. I've seen the spirit of God on other people as they minister to the people of God. I've experienced the Holy Spirit myself within me. Some things I've seen that I can't tell. I thank God for revealing himself to me in visions, signs and wonders and revelation knowledge in my walk with him.

Dolls have always been mysterious. The Peculiar People have taken dollmaking to another lever. They had magical powers and placed that same magic into their dolls. They could smile, see, hear, use their hands and feet, and act just like humans. They tried to keep their powers hidden, but in some cases, like with Viola, it was hard to do.

Odyssey is defined as a long and eventful or adventurous journey or experience, hence my whirlwind of a life. Not the kind of whirlwind that leaves things scattered beyond recognition, but the kind of whirlwind that picks you up and places you in the right place at the right time. My life has been one synchronicity, guided by my deceased mother and ancestors. I found myself in the land of my great, great, great grand father who came to America as a free black man, not enslaved. This book does not claim to prove or disprove any written religious or historical dogma of any kind. Its only objective rather, is to record what I was told, by my elders, the history of our family and to record my own life's journey. My only reason for conducting the small amounts of historical research was due to my desire to verify dates and the timelines of events that I was told occurred; those that might have coincided with my great-grandfather's arrival in America and how they might have affected the decisions he made during his lifetime--decisions that would eventually impact those of us who came later. Once I was satisfied that these timelines and dates did indeed match, I had no doubt that the stories passed on to me happened just as they were told.

Bullying has become an epidemic. Years ago there was a rhyme kids used to say, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt them."

Positive words create a better world. Tammie Tubbs, former school teacher turned TV personality and entrepreneur, understands the problems children face growing up, especially in the classroom. Helping a child find and see their worth and value has become an important part of her platform. Tammie knows firsthand the words that children say about themselves and to each other and how they can be cruel, having a lifelong affect well into adulthood. "You Are Not What They Say You Are!" is filled with positive affirmations your children will love repeating and believing.

Looking back at my life, one thing stands out, the struggle. Learning how to make do with a little of nothing and be thankful for the crumbs from others table was hard. I grew up in a harsh environment. There was physical, mental, and sexual abuse. This type of environment teaches you to use the most primal survival skills. I remember watching mom get up at three o'clock in the morning everyday to walk to work. She worked at the Columbus city courthouse. No matter the weather she was always there. Every day like clockwork she was there regardless of the weather getting it in. I remember seeing her wrap her hands in old socks to stay warm. Her shoes were running over from walking so many miles. I didn't understand at first, but time and error have shown me that she did what she knew to do for her children. It was her way of showing us she loved us the only way she knew how. I ended up doing the same thing for my children, following in her footsteps. Just like we took mom for granted my children did the same to me, take me for granted. I worked to provide a better life than I was able to afford as a child. My mom showed me that having children was a full-time job that you wanted to do, because the reward was priceless. The heartache and pain of a childbirth was only a prelude of what was to come, yet it's more than worth the indescribable joy and pride. When you can see how well they turn out. July twenty-fifth nineteen eighty, I found a reason to live and to strive. His name is Alandrew Ed Rodrick Jones, He was five ponds and three ounces, red wrinkled and squirming. The true beginning of my adult journey. I wasn't alone anymore. I had someone to love me.
