Foreword
Share how I met the author?! How do you know her? This can actually be a bigger deal than I think. I can help show the author as likable and relatable. Because it’s me!!
This is particularly useful if the reader has helped with something that is going to be discussed in the book. Like paranormal or other spiritual things!
I am the author of writing a book for you on spiritual things. Some are thrilling! Mentioning how they are a paranormal! I will tell you just how badly you will like this book! Readers will definitely appreciate hearing that the author knows their stuff!
Preface
People either want you, or they don’t. What makes them want -or not- is how you perceive yourself. Perception is the fact. It is the key to making yourself irresistible!
Let’s start off with a little story. As you work through this book, you will find that we share a few stories. That is because stories are one of the greatest ways to remember and learn something.
Back in the oldest days, there was a girl called Mallory James. She held up a maze of events that were only heard or seen by herself. She had a little boy called Jacob. He would hear or see a line-up of customers, nobody seen or heard. So they have that in common. Not just being just a mother and son. It took them through the years when Jacob was a small boy until he graduated college.
It had its ups and downs. Through the paranormal and reality. This book is about how they coped with these things. How the perception makes these things! Perception is a fact!
Chapter 1
Jacob
Chapter%201.jpgWhen his father, Mike, and I went home, we started to have a big fight! The next day I went to a lawyer and initiated a divorce proceeding. It was a long time coming. My first marriage was about eight years. This one is only two years. When we started dating, everything was fine. It was like a whirlwind marriage. When I left, the only baby we had, was only seven months old. I was hoping he would be a good father, but he wasn’t.
He took the baby once after we separated. I never saw him again, and neither did Jacob.
My oldest half-brother took us in. I found out I had to give up my dog. Mindy was with us for seven years. I brought her from my first marriage. Then I had to give her up. I was so sad! But having a baby was worth it! It was either the baby or the dog. So having Jacob was worth it!
In the process of us finding an apartment, my half-brother lost his job and moved out! So here I was down and out again! I had to find a job working at home or something!
While I was coming home from grocery shopping, I found I had all these groceries bags, and it was just Jacob and me. I took Jacob upstairs and left him in his car seat, all nice and comfy. Then I went downstairs to get my groceries. When I got downstairs, there were three guys down there. They had an Mt. Juliet license plate on their car. I don’t know why I looked, but I did. They offered to carry up my groceries. I said yes! What a relief! I said thank you. They wouldn’t take any money for doing what they did. Then I found out they had all moved into the apartment next door to mine. I said thank you and went inside.
I looked at my son when I went inside, and I started to scream! Jacob looked like someone had put a curse on him. Jacob scrunched his eyes up, and his eyeballs were rolling around. I picked him up, and they stopped! Jacob was my first baby! Was it all in my head? Or was it not? I took the first one. I picked him up and started to cradle him. He was so sweet and lovable!
The next night I heard the police and sirens. Right outside the door, they stood. They said to stay inside. Until later, when they wanted to talk to me. They asked me if there was anything new about the guys next door. They said they didn’t have a lease or anything. They just moved in without talking to anybody. There were three of them. I told her they helped me carry up my groceries yesterday. They were very friendly. There was no furniture or anything in the apartment. They told me to keep an eye out for them. I said, Ok.
The following week, I was making lunch. I turned to look at my son, and his ears were growing like an elf! I mean growing! It suddenly stopped.
I asked him whether he felt anything in his ears?
He said, ¨Yes, they grow." I didn’t want him to think anything was wrong.
My mom told me that if I keep seeing these things, I should see a psychologist. I was wondering why I kept seeing these things but doesn’t everybody?
When I was pregnant, I had a dream. A man said I was worried about my baby but that; the dreams were there to protect him! So I did not have to worry! I woke up feeling refreshed.
I got a refresher on what a person like myself would do if the President (of the United States) knew about my situation! But I was not to know anything until this was over. And it wasn’t yet. It was a game to see what I would do! My parents, my half-sister, and my half-brothers knew. Eventually, the whole United States learned.
I finally got a job at a boat called The General Jackson 5. I was a cashier/coat checker. It was something! Better than nothing! My mom and dad offered to babysit while I was working.
My mom was a woman who had three kids from her first marriage. The second marriage was just one child (me). In the third marriage, there were not any children. So when I was nine or ten, my mom told me Stan (her third husband) was my father. Later I found out (Stan) was not my father. He was primarily Irish and German. I was English and Greek. Jacob and I found this out through the 23andMe. I didn’t know who my father was. I had an idea, but that’s it. All of us were (except my older half-brother) adopted. Stan was also adopted. His adopted family was German. Jacob got his original birth certificate from the state of Il. and it showed us that he was one who was not Greek. I am writing this to you now because the is a fight over who my father is. The argument will settle this. I am English and Greek. My half-sister is English and Irish, and so are my half-brothers.
One day I came home early. I walked into my parent´s house and found people I worked with are not in their homes. They were very faint and see-through. I asked my mom about this, and she said, you imagine things again. I kept seeing these people in my parent’s home. I saw these people, and nobody else does! These people were coming into the home and going into my parents’ selves! They needed a place to rest! My mom would send me to psych if I told her.
One day while was a work. I was on the rear of my boat. I happened to look out to my left, and I saw an American Flag! It was the President! I started sending people to the President. Hoping he could do something about it. Crazy Huh! The flag was in the wind, and someone was playing the national anthem while the President was giving me a salute for all the people I had sent him. I was the only one who saw it! He was glad for all the people I sent him to! Working on The General Jackson 5 was the best thing I could have done. I sent Mr. President every extra person I could. Still, there was an overabundance of people here. Looking through my closed eyes, I found myself in a room with my hands through a straitjacket! I was all tied up! The room was white with a slat through one door.
When I came to Paul McCartney had come to my rescue.
He said ¨There were many musicians to help me. But I was still to stay in my straitjacket when I had no one."
What will my son do? He is only one year old,
I exclaimed.
He said, You will be able to take care of him. All the time.
Chapter 2
The Band
All night again! I was listening, and all I could hear was this song.
"Somebody knocking at your door.
Somebody’s ringin’ the bell
Someone’s knockin’ at the door
Somebody’s ringin’ the bell
Do me a favor
Open the door and let ’em in, yeah, let ’em in
Sister Suzie, brother John
Martin Luther, Phil, and Don"
Paul said, That’s why we’re set here! My band was sent here to keep you up all night! So I brought my friends from my band. This one I thought you would be interested in is that one out there. But I know you would not be interested in him. It was me, of course!
Of course!
I said.
"I wanted to keep you up all night, this time. You’re going to practice being my band. I want you to practice some lyrics to my songs. It will be going on for one year. You can do the backup of the introduction. All of that stuff will keep you out of that straitjacket for a good while!
What do you think about that? I will introduce you to all of my friends.
Mick Jagger and a bunch of other ones! We’ll teach you all of the ropes. There is Bob Seger that Old Time Rock and Roll.
What do you think about that."
I said, Yes, that’s it, I will do it!
He said, Good! Here is a copy of my next song. I will be back tomorrow!
He was gone, and I was relieved. No more straitjackets!
I woke up from my heavy sleep. I thought about my dreams—Paul McCartney, now Michael Jackson.
I did not have time to think about it. I needed to get Jacob and myself going off to my parents. Jacob would be at the babysitters
, and I will be off to work. I walked into the office, and there were all the cashiers. Cynthia was there too. I looked at her and saw a woman that was thirty pounds heavier than I was. Her hair was very curly, like rings. She wore no makeup. About three inches taller than I was. It was about one hundred and twenty pounds. My hair was curly, like waves. I was about five feet and four inches tall. I had on some makeup, not much, though. I was looking at her, and suddenly, it was like I was not in my body. I could see her and myself standing inside of her. There was Michael Jackson around her. It was so weird! All of a sudden, I
