Tech Equity: Freedom Through Enabling Technology:

A Dream Officer's Playbook for Tech Equity in Disability and Aging Services

by Precious "Preciosa" Myers-Brown

What does freedom actually look like for someone who has been told what they cannot do their whole life?

That question lives at the heart of Tech Equity: Freedom Through Enabling Technology by Precious "Preciosa" Myers-Brown. It is a book about what becomes possible when a whole community -- providers, families, Direct Support Professionals, policymakers, and the people being served -- decides that the way things have always been done is not good enough anymore.

The care system we are working inside was built in the 80s, way before we had the tools we have today. Imagine finding a pager from that era and thinking it still works -- then spending years looking for the payphone you need to go with it. We honor what was built with what we had. And now it is time for all of us to move forward together.

This is not a book about technology replacing people. It is about technology giving people back their time, their dignity, and their choices -- and giving the communities around them the tools to actually support that. DSPs who are burned out. Families who are exhausted. People with disabilities who deserve more than a system running on assumptions from 40 years ago. The blueprint is here. The community that changes this already exists. This book is for all of you.

Best of Friends Trilogy

Book 1: Best of Friends: What happens when a family death wreaks havoc among siblings? What would you do if the ‘peace-maker’ of the family suddenly loses control? If the opportunity arose, would you agree to simply ‘burn the will,’ sell the estate and split the proceeds? What would be your response when calling the cops and being told: “We’re not coming out, unless there are bullets flying and bodies to count?” Elizabeth Caliente is faced with such propositions in Sherry Brantley’s award-winning ‘Best of Friends’ trilogy. Best of Friends has won two national awards for ‘Best Fiction of the Year!’

Book 2: Before Best of Friends: In this much-anticipated prequel to the ‘Best of Friends,’ trilogy, readers discover how the Fabulous Five group were formed in their youth, and are introduced to the unfolding of the powerful secrets binding the group together. Secrets only this private group were privileged to know. Join this tight-knit group as you uncover the mystery of the ‘Secret of the Blanket.’ Included is an excerpt from the books’ final work of the trilogy, ‘Still Best of Friends.’

Book 3: Still Best of Friends: The explosive conclusion of the ‘Best of Friends’ trilogy! The Fabulous Five were bound together by secrets they’d all swore to carry to their graves. But with the ‘Dastardly Duke Discovery’ exposing the ‘Secret of the Blanket,’ will the Fabulous Five find themselves desperately being consumed in a modern-day media frenzy that is threatening to consume them? Will this group of friends be able to survive the onslaught of the public revelation of their past deeds? Or will they crumble under the weight of their unexpected circumstances? Travel with the Fabulous Five: Elizabeth Caliente’, Kim Worthy, Kiona Stone, Angela Jackson-(A.J.) and Quineeta Davis as once again, they attempt to weather the storms of adversity that threaten to decimate their bond, their friendship, their past! Will the ‘Dastardly Duke Discovery’ prove to be the final nail in the coffin? Or will vow to continue to ‘deny ‘til they die,’ their involvement in the mystery they’re shrouded in?

Meet the dynamic members of the Fabulous Five as this explosive trilogy takes readers on a whirlwind excursion among five friends. Though often humorous, the ride is filled with lessons on friendship, family dynamics and strong relationships. You’ll love connecting and bonding with the members of the Fabulous Five, as they deal individually and collectively with the drama that surrounds them!

ORIGIN OF MIND: The Conscious Mind and 3-D Images in the Brain

   

ORIGIN OF MIND:

The Conscious Mind and 3-D Images in the Brain

Fully illustrated throughout with challenging 3-D illusions and some of the most extreme examples of the “spooky action” of the brain from bizarre beliefs we still hold true, to ideas of sexual attraction, this book takes us through a new perspective on how words create our very perception of reality, from the point where consciousness and cognition of our mind kick in, to the study of how easily any stimulus, even pain, can be associated with any response, even pleasure. This accounts for the 700 named phobias and the 547 sexual paraphilias identified by Anil Aggrawal.  In a review of old and new evidence, we find explanations for the "spooky action" of the conscious mind and how the mind is deceived by the brain.
This sets the stage for a journey through your own mind. The first ideas embedded in our brain by others, like the language we speak, become the criteria by which we judge all things. All of this is learned through a process so subtle and so unconscious that it is taken for granted. We see this daily in our politics, our religions, our sports, and our personal relationships.
AI, or Artificial Intelligence, scans the internet, picking up relevant facts, images, and ideas, and presents them in an organized form. The brain has its own version of AI that scans our memories, selects relevant information, and presents reality to our conscious mind as reality. From this reality, our conscious mind "sees" what the brain has been “hard-wired” to perceive by our earliest experiences. This applies to language, ideas, religion, politics…
CHAPTER I ORIGIN OF THE BRAIN. Learning does not just give the brain information to use in processing, as a computer; it changes the brain itself so completely that it creates a new reality in the brain. From this reality, our conscious mind "sees" what the brain has been “hard-wired” to perceive by our earliest experiences. This applies to language, ideas, religion, politics…
CHAPTER II PSYCHOLOGY’S THEORY OF RELATIVITY Learning, at its core, goes beyond merely associating two stimuli. It involves forming an impression in the brain of all the visual, auditory, and sensory experiences happening at the same time. Through repeated exposure to the same stimuli, these experiences can create a perception. By connecting multiple perceptions, one can develop a concept (or a learning set, or an algorithm, or a heuristic) into a concept. Perception Can Determine Experience
CHAPTER III Learning happens with no conscious awareness, and we have limited ability to change our brain’s perception.
CHAPTER IV Origin of the Individual We are not born knowing who we are. We are not born knowing who our mother is. We have no clue even what species we are. We have no language to speak. We are the center of our own unique world of experience. Everything relates to us. This gives us the perception of a separate and self-conscious mind.
CHAPTER V THE CONSCIOUS MIND The relatively high speed of the Beta waves of our brain, which scan across the cortex, linked to areas deep inside, combined with our focus of attention, is what makes consciousness possible. Our learned experiences allow the brain to anticipate whatever will come next.
CHAPTER VI THE ILLUSION OF THOUGHT, RELATIVITY: The fact that we can think has created the illusion that we do think.
CHAPTER VII INVISIBLE PERCEPTION Learning is so profoundly important that it changes the biology of your brain.
CHAPTER VIII PERMUTATIONS The Third Variable of Relativity
CHAPTER IX THE CONSCIOUS MIND AND THE PROGRAMMED MIND

Raising Confident Children: A Biblical Parenting Guide to Building Strong Identity, Courage, and Resilience

 

Raising Confident Children:

A Biblical Parenting Guide to Building Strong Identity, Courage, and Resilience

Every parent wants their child to walk confidently into the world.

Not loud.
Not perfect.
Just steady.

In a culture filled with pressure, comparison, and constant evaluation, many children are growing up unsure of themselves—even when they appear successful on the outside. Parents feel it too: the quiet tension between protecting their child and preparing them, between guiding and letting go.

Raising Confident Children offers a different path.

Grounded in biblical wisdom and supported by modern child-development insight, this compassionate guide shows how confidence is built quietly—through everyday moments of connection, courage, responsibility, failure, and love.

Rather than quick fixes or performance-based parenting, this book walks parents through realistic, emotional scenarios they face every day, revealing how small, intentional responses shape a child’s inner world for life.

Inside, you’ll learn how to help your child:

• Develop confidence rooted in identity—not achievement
• Act with courage even when fear is present
• Learn from failure without shame
• Take responsibility and believe they are capable
• Feel deeply loved—even when they fall short

This is not a book about raising fearless children.
It is a book about raising secure ones.

Confidence that lasts isn’t built by pushing harder.
It’s built by walking alongside—one steady step at a time.

She No Name

   

She 

No Name

By Cheryl Knoll

What if the deepest rupture in a life is not meant to destroy identity, but to strip it bare?

She No Name inhabits the charged space between heartbreak and awakening. It begins with a woman undone by an emotional bond she cannot explain, then follows her into a private landscape of obsession, insomnia, spiritual unrest, and memory. The book does not move like a conventional narrative. It drifts through prose reflections, meditations, and poems, letting the reader experience the collapse of an old self in fragments, flashes, and emotional aftershocks.

Its world is intensely interior, but never abstract. Gardens, trees, smoke, fire, wings, stillness, and light recur like landmarks in an inner geography. A woman stands in the ashes of her former life. Solitude becomes not exile, but shelter. Forgiveness is reframed as recalibration. Even the title suggests a threshold state: a self no longer willing to be fully defined by the given name, the old wounds, or the version of womanhood handed to her by others.

The emotional stakes are not simply romantic. Beneath the book’s spiritual language runs a deeper current of buried trauma, unmet longing, and the exhausting habit of locating worth outside the self. As the pages unfold, the central tension becomes clear: what happens when the identities formed through pain, rejection, desire, and approval begin to fall away? What remains when the search turns inward instead of outward?

That is where She No Name finds its pulse. This is a book of unraveling, but also of return. It enters the dark terrain of spiritual disillusionment and emerges with a vision of inner divinity, not as abstraction, but as lived survival. The result is a work that treats awakening not as serenity from the start, but as a painful, transformative passage through fire, memory, and self-reckoning.

To awaken is not to find someone else—it is to finally stand whole within your own soul.
