I mainly wrote this book because I wanted to share the love story Twix and I have. Twix is my soul-mate and means more to me than anything in this world. He might be a border collie, but we have a connection and an incredible relationship, unlike anything I had ever experienced before Twix came into my life.Twix had emergency herniated disc surgery after a frisbee accident on Sept 24, 2016, and it took me five years to write this book. Partially because I never felt like I was a writer and honestly did not know where to start, I didn't give up on my dream as I felt the need to share this never-told story. Writing is difficult for me, and I found this book especially challenging to write. It was hard for me because it was emotional and brutal to re-live all of the trauma Twix and I endured. Whenever my fingers met my keyboard, I would sob as memories of Twix's accident and the obstacles throughout his rehabilitation process would flash before my dilapidated eyes.I believe the most heart-wrenching part was thinking back to our life before Twix's herniated disc and feeling heartbroken that all our dreams of competing and performing were flushed down the drain. Sure, we moved on, our dreams changed, and we found joy in living our day-to-day lives, but I mourned our old life together for quite some time until I wrote this book.When Twix got injured, I knew I had to share his story, our story. The steadfast love for my boy drove me to work unbelievably hard to help Twix recover from his frisbee accident that resulted in emergency herniated disc surgery which left him paralyzed for weeks. I knew I had to help him run again. I had to do anything and everything I could for Twix, and I did.I did not have to research this book's topic because Twix and I lived it. However, I did have to explore ways to help Twix through rehabilitation with the help of expert physical therapists, using canine physical therapy books, the internet, and watching YouTube videos on canine conditioning.Ultimately, Twix, the love of my life, is my motivation and inspiration for writing this book!

In Book Two of A Nation of Mystics, author Pamela Johnson resumes her skillful exploration of the late-1960s and the counterculture through the eyes of a communal family, following the strengthening relationships of the tribe as they search for enlightenment through mind-expanding hallucinogens and work for political change. Christian Brooks, now twenty-one years old, expands his underground activities by moving into Europe to acquire chemicals for his high-yielding LSD lab in Los Angeles. Kathleen Murray struggles to develop her own business in a male-dominated world, searching for a balance between spiritual enlightenment and money, while trying to find a way to resolve binding love and independence. Forced to leave the Bay Area, Myles Corbet becomes an undercover agent working for Interpol in Germany and Amsterdam. Using all the botanical talent of his young life, Jerry learns to produce the beautiful and vision-manifesting mushrooms of the Mazatec shamans of Oaxaca. Supervisor Dolph Bremer, more frustrated and therefore more ruthless, turns his police investigations on Lance Bormann, attorney, as he contemplates a way to pay Bormann back for his successes in the courtroom. The different threads of the family's conflicts, acquired knowledge, and personal resolutions finally intersect in the building of a community park on university land in Berkeley. As the youth movement pits itself against the establishment, the conflicts ultimately explode in tear gas and gunfire over the idealism of People's Park. Although set in the 1960s, Book Two: The Tribe addresses questions that continue to be relevant today-what constitutes true crime, police reaction to civil disobedience, the nature of religious freedom, and needless violence when legal access to sacramental hallucinogens, money, and spirituality collide.
In this final book of Pamela Johnson's epic trilogy on the 1960s, the story of communal family and their search for enlightenment through religion, mind-expanding hallucinogens, and mysticism continues. Although the social and political bruises of the Berkeley People's Park riots begin to heal at the Woodstock Music Festival, the family soon faces new danger from both murderous competitors and law enforcement.In Journeys, the decade draws to a close, and as time passes, members of the Tribe are forced into making difficult choices.

Narcotics Supervisor Dolph Bremer faces the case of his life; he will win all or lose all in his contest with attorney Lance Bormann.Through its characters, A Nation of Mystics explores eternally relevant human questions-how to seek peace in the presence of evil, the life-altering implications of personal choices, the discovery of strength, and the fortitude to transform idealism into action.Book 3: Journeys, ties together the important threads of America's counterculture beliefs into a single knot, the ideas and actions of a generation poised on the threshold of a new decade, ready to stand the test of time.

In the modern business world, there is a shortage of effective yet culturally diverse leadership. Most attempts to develop multicultural leaders are limited to "one-way" training, coaching, and mentoring programs. Individuals are expected to quickly fit in and adjust to the corporate culture. All too often, the result of such programs is highly qualified people who are uncomfortable and uncommitted-and who eventually leave the organization.Everyone is Multicultural: Bridging Cultural Influences for Business Success is designed to help organizational leaders, leadership candidates, and the general public gain new insight and direction into the current workplace diversity agenda. Dr. Pamela Johnson draws on more than twenty years of experience in multicultural leadership development to explain the past elements of the diversity movement, redefine the meaning of true diversity, and present a new theory of multicultural leadership development.Developmental change takes time-time to think, time to feel, and time to grow-and only an ongoing process of multicultural leadership development will produce sustainable results. Everyone is Multicultural can help anyone gain an appreciation for themselves and others and learn what it takes to succeed in the business world today. It's the perfect guide for individuals of all cultural influences who want to improve performance, workplace relationships, and diversity initiatives.
