The Story of Roamer is about a rescue dog. The description of 'Rescue dogs' is a common vernacular for any dog that is lost or stray and which is ultimately saved through adoption, usually by means of an animal shelter or rescue organization. For a person to save a rescue dog means to give a life to not only the dog, but also to share in the joy, love and devotion that our canine friends bring to the world. Roamer is more than just a Rescue Dog story, is a portrayal of the plight of animals who suffer following natural disasters or when they are abandoned and left to roam without a loving home to take care of them. Dogs bring love to their owners in ways that sometimes non-pet owners do not fully sense or possess until they adopt one of their own. So the story of Roamer could also be described as an introduction to animal rescue for those who have never examined it in their lives, and what it ultimately means for the dog.The story: Roamer is a dog who is troubled by a past he cannot fully remember, and haunted by the long lost memories of the ones he loved following the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. Can he survive and find his way as a stray in the aftermath of losing all that is familiar to him? Will he find again the ones he loved? In his life as a stray he experiences abuse, suffering and also friendship against the backdrop of an ocean current filled with hope and dreams. An original story written by Michael Delaware that touches on the plight of stray animals following natural disasters. It is a message of hope and compassion. Profits from the sales of this book will go to support animal rescue organizations.

This is a book about wisdom and spiritual awareness. It is about discovering a compassion for others and experiencing the joy of living. It is a compilation of observations, experiences and lessons shared: "So compassion and understanding come from the heart. They are within us, and there is perhaps a universal circle where when good is done to us that we must in turn do the same for others. When that circle is broken by the purveyors of bad news and divisionism of the populace through false ideas and archaic concepts such as racism, religious bigotry and sexism, it is easy to lose sight of the necessity for compassion and kindness. The heart of the matter would be thus: When you are compassionate and caring for another, and bestow upon them kindness, the goodwill from such a gesture flows like a comforting river through our society and the result can be a peaceful global community working together." Michael DelawareRediscover within this book the power of laughter, indelible love and goodwill that were the lessons we knew when were children, and somehow lost our compassionate touch along the way. Reach out for the magic of the human touch, the spiritual lift and the universal roar of humanity and take a walk on the lighter side...

This is the story about a little white puppy dog with one brown ear, and one speckled ear that looked like peanut butter spread over a banana. He had a chocolate brown patch on his rump, just before his tail, and a few other scattered caramel freckles. Other than that, he was entirely covered in white everywhere else.He is given the name 'Blue' by the humans at an animal shelter, because he is sad more often than happy. Along with his sister, he is put up for adoption. All of this, he really does not understand, and the experience makes him afraid and nervous..One evening, after one very particular sad day, he goes to sleep. He wakes from his slumber after a short while to find he is no longer in his kennel, but is, instead, in a magical forest. He does not know how he got there, or why he is there. Like a new fire kindling within, he finds he has a desire to go look for something. He does not know what it is, much less how to describe it. Afraid, though he might be of his surroundings, he is driven by the need to go looking for whatever this feeling is.Overcoming fear and uncertainty, he finds the courage to explore. Along the way he meets others that live there and discovers more about this special wood and its magic. Seeking to fill both an emptiness and a longing in his heart, and acting on advice from others he meets, he embarks on a journey. Following a path through the forest, he unexpectedly learns more about himself than he ever imagined possible.Join him as he finds his way, and discovers the power of hopes and dreams.Written and illustrated by Michael Delaware.

Here is a brief excerpt from the introduction of this book which best describes the magic within its pages."I call these lessons 'learned on the fly' because the knowledge gained from the experiences connected with them were very much akin to the spirit of the outfielder in baseball running backward at full speed, looking towards the heavens, trying to not lose sight of the ball or fail to notice the sensation of gravel from the warning track under his feet as he knowingly approaches a solid wall. His focused intention guides him into trying to make the catch to save the game for his team, his city and the harmony of his own moment. Decisions in these situations are made in an instant. One weighs the purpose of the game, the success of the catch and one's own safety of survival in a fleeting moment, and in all hopes one lives to tell about it in the glow of great success.Similar factors are in play when one is in the heat of managing others, factoring all the elements, and trying to not lose sight of the greater good, when making hard decisions for the company, the other players, the individual plays in the game and you. Such is the art of sales management."Finally, this book is not only about sales management, it is about leadership, teamwork and making each experience in life into a 'moment', and learning the lessons from those experiences and moments and thus becoming even better at what you do. It is about creating and experiencing the game of sales as it was meant to be played.
