Strength Not Deficit
Exposing the common Autistic traits with the power toovercome challenge, leading to achievement and success...... and what happens when that success is met with ableism.Most people Jane McNeice encounters don't recognise she is Autistic until she chooses to share it, at which point she detects change.Why? Because when most people hear 'Autism', they think deficit, and once they are focused on deficit, any strengths will be lost on them.The reader Strength Not Deficit is appealing to the most is the one who has their own deficit, a deficit they are yet blind to, and coincidentally, one that also starts with a bold 'a'. Their deficit is ableism.If, like Jane, you are willing to transform your deficits into strengths, which is a strength in itself, she'd like to take you on a journey of reducing or even removing ableism from your mindset, creating strength: seeing beyond the pervasive narratives of incapability that permeate our culture and which have a negative impact on the lives of Autistic people, and ultimately an impact on neurodiversity as a whole.Yes, neurodiversity, that's you, each and every one of you - ableism is damaging for us all! Strength Not Deficit seeks to challenge that."Author and accomplished entrepreneur Jane McNeice offers a refreshingly positive outlook that is sure to motivate any aspiring businessperson and fill them with the confidence they need to succeed. Challenging ablest views and societal stigmas, her story illustrates that Autism needn't be an obstacle to overcome in business and that, on the contrary, it can be a real advantage."Daniel Fell, CEO at Doncaster Chamber

When our approach to navigating life embraces emotional, physical and spiritual needs, great transformation can occur. This book is about finding things to help when life changes.

Keri My Inspiration
Writhing in agony on the labour ward, terrified and frantic, I begged for an end to the torment for us both. In the final moments before I was put to sleep for an emergency caesarean, I made a pact with God. A pact I swore I would keep. I had lost a baby before; I couldn't lose another. "Let this baby live. Don't let them die. If they make it, I will make it work. Nothing else matters." I had a little girl. She lived. And by God, did we live. Sixteen beautiful years to the day. 5,844 precious, sacred days. My Keri blazed through a smog of medical incompetence, wounded and hurting from her first battle but by no means broken. She fought for me that traumatic night of her mismanaged delivery so we could be together. So that she could show me what life is really about, so that I could learn what I am made of. This is our love story.Any profits from book sales will go into a trust fund to help other families.

She reluctantly seeks the help of a therapist--something she never thought she would have to do in her lifetime--and when her son is diagnosed with the 'gay plague' a year later, her world spins out of control.Journal EntryIt's three AM and I can't sleep.

3 Years
It was a journey, through pebbles and flame, a self-discovery, a purposeful game, Three years I wandered in the wilderness of my soul, building bridges, filling an echoing hole. Every day a step closer to the surface so bright, guided by the stars, reflecting their light, A healing process, painstakingly real, each morning, a little closer to being healed. I chronicled the voyage in words spun with gold, a hundred poems, courageously bold, Each verse, a stitch on the tapestry of my heart, mending the pieces torn apart. Written on the canvas of sorrow, yet gleaming with hope, they were my lifelines, my survival rope. A hundred healing hymns, each one a pearl, my testament to the resilience of a girl. Through stormy seas and calm spring days, I danced with shadows and chased sunrays. In every poem's rhythm, every rhyme, I found strength, in my own time. Oh, the lessons I've learned, the wisdom so deep, from the heart-wrenching abyss, so steep. Three years of healing, of growth, of rebirth, I've found my footing, my place on earth.

Please Don't Let Me Be the Oldest Mom in the PTA
Motherhood is not what it used to be, as more moms than ever before are having children later on in life. This is the must-have book for all moms who had a child after the age of 35--a group the medical profession not-so-kindly calls--'advanced maternal age.' Sharon O'Donnell writes about the humorous and poignant stories of having a child at 38 and how she discovered that breastfeeding and AARP membership aren't really all that far apart. Sharon says being a mom of a certain age can be tough and rewarding--and rather alarming when you realize that all the TV programs you watch have commercials for incontinence or the Scooter Store.
The Importance Of Fatherhood, Life Experiences and Advice to Help You Navigate Through Fatherhood
In the intricate dance of life's ebb and flow, where hardships and triumphs waltz in unpredictable harmony, the heartbeat of love remains the enduring melody. This is the essence of an intimate journey chronicled through the eyes of a man sculpted by resilience, Saquan Minor. With candid vulnerability, Minor threads a narrative of trials, triumph, and transformation, unfurling the tapestry of his evolution from a child shadowed by absence into a beacon of paternal light. Born of struggle, yet refusing the mantle of victimhood, Minor navigates the tempestuous tides of fatherhood with a raw and receptive heart. As he steers through the cacophony of life's challenges and the calm of its fleeting peace, his chronicle shifts from a personal odyssey to a universal resonance, echoing the shared experience of fathers across the spectrum of humanity. Embark upon a passage through the formative years preceding fatherhood, the seismic shift when it dawns, the delicate art of maintaining its equilibrium, and the profound sacrifices that come with the title of 'Dad'. With the touch of a philosopher, the grace of a poet, the eye of a journalist, and the skill of a seasoned writer, Minor captures the very essence of paternal love and lays bare the soul-shaping power of accepting one's role as a father. As Minor welds the wisdom of experience with the timeless guidance from the generations that walked before and looks to the Creator for strength, he emerges not merely as a figure of paternal might but as a conduit for legacy, offering a poignant reflection on the alchemy of fatherhood. Herein lies an invitation to witness a story not just of a man or a father, but of an enduring spirit, finding within the crucible of life the gold that is purpose, faith, and boundless love.
