I find myself still asking the question, what is my purpose in life? It remains unanswered. Although sometimes when I come up with new ideas about changing the trajectory of my life, it becomes my purpose for the moment. Then reality hits, and I'm back to asking the familiar question, what is my purpose in life?My mother was not the motherly type; she never hugged, kiss, or told my siblings and I that she loved us until July 2011, the year and month of her death. Unfortunately, being that it was decades later in our lives, it felt foreign to us. The verbal abuse and neglect that we endured overpowered those words that she spoke on her deathbed.My father whom we lost on March 2010 played a role in how dysfunctional our family lives were. He fathered twelve-plus children, never really paid child support, but always told us that he loved us. My firstborn, whom I lost by murder at age sixteen in 2005, still haunts my thoughts. I was told that each year it gets easier. I'm still waiting. Throughout my trials and tribulations, I was able to accomplish obtaining my masters, bachelors, associates degrees and raising my youngest alone. I am a survivor, and yet the question remains, what is my purpose in life?

Here are two fundamental human nature concepts for your consideration:1) Our compelling understanding emerges from the complex interactions of our unconscious instincts with our conscious reasonings.2) Our personal understanding grabs us emotionally as much as we grasp it intelligently.Everything presented in this book connects to these concepts.This book is intended to be a useful, meaningful account of our conscious human existence. It was written for anyone seeking emergent clarity in our increasingly complex world. These essays, excerpts and narratives comprise "the supporting shaping stories" offered as useful context for your objective consideration and subjective judgement.The reality of human reasoning is bound by an ironic consequence. Objective reality will only be accepted by each individual's compelling subjective decision. A poetic paradox of our human nature.

Blurred Boundaries is a fictional novel that delves into the life of Naomi Green, the fourth and youngest daughter of Sidney and Veronica Green, who lives her childhood safely hidden in the background of her older sisters. As she becomes a young woman, living on her own, her various qualities that she allowed to lay stagnate begin to surface. It's a coming-of-age story with some happy times as well as some heartbreak. Naomi represents many people who don't demand or receive the attention they crave until a "want" arises and she must continuously debate the difference between right and wrong. It is this debate that continues to haunt her because, although she is aware of boundaries, she struggles to find some sort of middle ground, if there is one. Her struggle to avoid crossing these boundaries begins to take over her life, and when a final decision is made, she realizes that she could possibly lose more than the one thing she truly wants. This novel will have you rooting for her, pulling at your heartstrings, and then questioning yourself as to whether or not crossing boundaries is, in some cases, acceptable.2

Dr. Gaines Bradford Jackson is a recognized successful College instructor in Chemistry and Mathematics after thirty-five years of continuous service at Rose State College in Midwest City, Oklahoma and an accomplished author. He is a man on a mission to let people know that the "Far Left" agenda being supported by the Democratic Political Party in the continental United States of America is utter poison for the American democracy way of life. Please read this book and gain support for the proposed 28th Amendment presented in this book. The author, also sincerely hopes, all readers come to the same conclusion that he has, and that is the root to all evil in the US government is the Career Politician and the unregulated American Judiciary (as one of our most famous founding forefathers, Thomas Jefferson, said over two hundred years ago - all public servants should serve one term then go back home and go to work and no one should ever be appointed to a lifetime position.)(It would be refreshing to hear something about the 28th Amendment from those that are running for public office.)

What if all we know is wrong? What if beyond the borders of the natural world, others exist? Dimensions of pure order swimming in a sea of roiling chaos. Seracrystal is proof, in my mind. Only the cataclysmic pressure of two colliding planes of existence could form such a perfect specimen. A stone that harnesses the raw power of an entire dimension. These are not novel concepts. No, they are lost understandings, preserved only in myth, lore, legend, and "superstition." Our ignorance is terrifying. It shall serve our ruin in the end. These questions must be answered. A reckless pursuit of truth even unto death. No matter the peril. No matter the denizens who await in shadows. This is my desire. This is my purpose. Thus, we exist. To solve the intrigue. (Jeyson Ganam, essay on interdimensionalism)

I HATE MATH.....There I said it! I bet thousands of students and parents have said it. When I was really having problems with Algebra in the 9th grade, my Grandmother ( who was a teacher) told me "math isn't hard if you understand it". When I started my career in teaching math in Jacksonville Florida I soon learned that all the math books we had were lacking really good easy to understand instructions on explaining specific areas. Most of the math books did have good parts i.e. one might have a really good section or chapter on fractions but lacked in explaining decimals etc. I taught 7 years plus both sessions of summer school for 5 years at several junior and senior high schools. Each school had "adopted" different math books to teach from. This is where the idea of creating my own math book self guide stated. Over several years I started writing and explaining the different areas of math. It is my hope that this workbook helps students and parents who my be frustrated with "new" math and "common core" principles. In this workbook you will find every area that is covered in math for secondary students. The chapter problems are specially designed to address several levels of a students skill sets. I found that most students would fall into various levels....advanced; standard; basic and remedial. Each chapter problems and chapter tests are designed with levels of "difficult", "moderate" and " easy" problems. As a former math teacher and a parent of three adult children I really hope this book helps.
