About this ebook
Man did not make this world.
Man cannot break this world.
When life hands you lemons, you paint that shit gold. Many
residents of the United States who traveled outside their
borders for a vacation against racial, socio-political, and
economic violence in 2020 brought gold spray paint, glitter,
confetti, and ribbons with which to bedazzle their lemons.
Africa called me, I answered.
On my own journey, I turned towards the unknown, which
meant either adventure and excitement or disaster and
consequence.
So, faced with a dilemma, I solved the riddle. I decided
every day would be adventure and excitement. Any disaster or
consequence would become an opportunity to learn from what
life decided to show me.
And once I made up my mind on this, the four-year reign of
terror in my life otherwise known as writer's block finally
lifted and allowed me passage.
We humans are social creatures, not islands. Even the
loners and introverts cannot survive inside a vacuum with
their sanity intact.
The world is a better place when we live and thrive in
harmony. Thank you to those who made my world a better
place to live.
