If you've ever asked yourself, "Lord, why me or what have I done so wrong to deserve this?", then How to Jump from a Ferris Wheel and Land on Your Feet, Vol. II is a powerful, life changing book for you.
If you are on a quest to find peace in your life, are seeking inspiration, searching for serenity, or simply enjoy reading inspirational stories, this anthology promises to enlighten and inspire you. How to Jump from a Ferris Wheel and Land on Your Feet, Vol. II contains liberating stories that will take you on a magnificent journey from trial to triumph.
I personally believe that peace and happiness is a state of mind and that we all have the ability to sustain a peace of mind in the midst of the worst storms. Within the pages of How to Jump from a Ferris Wheel and Land on Your Feet, Vol. II are ten moving stories by ten extraordinary women from different walks of life who have all, at one point, asked themselves, "Why me?"
Journey with them as they share their incredible tales of adversity. Learn how they reached their destinations, where serenity and peace lives. The obstacles that each woman faced were very different in each story, yet very easy to relate to. It is humbling, inspiring, and empowering to re-live these challenges with these authors.
The feeling of triumph when victory was ultimately achieved is extremely joyful. This dynamic anthology offers hope that you, too, can find peace and success. Blessings,

Life on Life's Terms
Time to recognize the view of my life
Riding a carousel with
An uphill gradient;
Destination filled with oppression
and no possible progression!
Time to eradicate the black clouds
stacked against me
As if life fell apart - I felt my brain implode!
Oh, no!!
Enraged, inflamed;
Gone insane!
Time to defy, to magnify,
to rectify ...
Stirred to attempt to nullify
the jangled waste of my life!
As it all fell apart,
Sleep elusive
Dreamless existence,
Able to examine and correct the
State of my confusion!
With renewed conviction I embarked on a more
Positive Expedition ...
To irrigate my brain from booze
I would refrain!
To identify and not compare to those similar to me ...
To comment on triumphs at every opportunity!
To never judge others or act in underhanded ways!
This, my new umbrella from life’s
burning rays!
I grasped the vernacular of a new and
wonderful life
So free of liquid fire!

~ R.I.P Three Little Angels ~
by Auntie Mimi
Awoke with thoughts of angels
Danielle came to mind
that pretty little special girl
who left the world behind
Too soon, so soon
she wasn't even four yet
When God said come here my child
Come meet me at the gate
of Heaven.
Awoke with angels flying
all about my head
I saw Susan, sweet Susan
laying lifeless; she was dead
God knew why He took her
This innocent child of two
Couldn't understand it then
Not sure if I really do
And. Shantel, the oldest
of the three -
With beauty, brains and as
wise as she could be
Her life was short,
only six when she died
for all of my sweet angels
a river of tears we all cried.
Awoke with dreams of angels
they are always in my heart
Not a day ever goes by
When the moments that are dark
Fill me with sadness,
overtakingmy soul
sending me over the edge
to a dark and lonely road
where I sit and contemplate
my angels who are gone
who left this world too soon
And flew up to the Beyond.
I know that they are happy
laughing bouncing with glee
But, I sure do wish
I had them sitting right beside me
Rest in Peace my pretty angels
you now belong to God
Someday we'll meet again
In the Great kingdom of the Lord.
(This poem is dedicated to the memory of
my three nieces who died tragically
in 1987 when a house fire roared.
They are in Heaven with my brother
and their mother. God bless their
souls.)

Miriam showed an early aptitude and love for creating, tinkering, and writing. She was first published
while still in high school in the school's publication, "Jabberwocky".
Today, Mimi is making a tumultuous presence both in
print and online. But more importantly, her readers
and fans love her, and her work. Much is to be appreciated; Jacobs is a master of several literacy genres and the author of seven books including,
Illuminations: Poetic Inspiration, Embracing Candace, My Name is Not Monkey Girl, and 25 Ways to Make $125.00 or More After Dinner.
She is also penned How to Jump From a Ferris Wheel & Land on Your Feet, the first of a ten volume series. The book is a multi-author anthology with a theme of, "From tragedy, to triumph."
In March, 2007, Mimi launched her highly-acclaimed publishing company on a shoestring budget, and in a make-shift small office in her living room. The name was contrived as a tribute to her two granddaughters, Candace and Alyse. Her enthusiasm has helped her shape her branding and build a dynamic team around her
including an editor, proof reader, illustrator, and
full-time publicist. In just one month, Candalyse Publishing more than quintupled in size, and tripled its revenue.
Mimi is a life-time New Yorker and has the accent to prove it. She currently resides with her husband, Charles, her granddaughter, Candace, and their pets.
Five years into recovering from Major Depression, Mimi seeks the love and support of friends both in cyber world and the real world.
"When we embrace each other as fellow human beings, we are living with unconditional love, with unconditional kindness and with compassion. As we raise
our children, we must instill in them these
basic human qualities. Love makes the world a
much better place to live.
Today I love myself as I love my fellow human beings."
~Miriam L. Jacobs
~ Depression... it's no joke.
If you know someone who thinks that suicide is
an option, do something to help... this just
might be a cry for help from the darkness that depression has taken them.
I just wanted to come show you some love.I hope all is well how are you doin?Don't be a stranger come by more often.well this is me showin much love have a good weekend..
God Is Faithful! [[written by: Rev. James C. Matthews]] What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God's faithfulness? Not at all! Romans 3:3-4a (NIV) As we grow in our walk with God we must overcome the temptation to view God like we view others. In our experience with people, we have learned that people are fluctuating, moody and unreliable. Because of these experiences, it has made it exceedingly difficult for us to place absolute confidence and trust in anyone or anything. However, we learn to trust God completely! This is the essence of true peace - a fixed and stayed mind focused on God's faithfulness. The Bible declares that God, "will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Him, because they trust in Him (Isaiah 26:3). When you are able to rest in God's Word and His sovereignty, you are in a secure place.
