The Youth on a Mission Action Guide
Youth on a Mission (YOM) is a transformational leadership and character development program designed specifically for youth ages 18-24+ who are growing up in underserved, high-pressure, or at-risk environments. YOM equips young people with the emotional intelligence, leadership tools, and moral grounding they need to rise above their circumstances and lead lives of purpose, respect, and integrity.While many youth programs focus on behavior modification or academic performance, YOM goes deeper. We address the heart-helping teens understand their identity, navigate emotions, build resilience, and take personal responsibility for their future. Our approach is direct, respectful, and real. We don't lecture-we coach, mentor, and walk alongside young people as they uncover their potential and embrace a mission bigger than themselves.Through a structured yet relational curriculum, students engage in small-group discussions, reflective exercises, storytelling, and practical leadership challenges. YOM helps them answer questions like: Who am I becoming? What do I stand for? How can I lead, even when life feels unfair?The goal isn't just to keep teens out of trouble-it's to launch them into greatness. We want every student to walk away believing: "I have value. I have a voice. I have a mission."YOM is ideal for schools, community programs, churches, and juvenile justice settings looking for a culturally grounded, emotionally intelligent, and purpose-driven youth leadership curriculum. Whether they come from broken homes, tough streets, or simply need a guiding hand, YOM gives youth the mindset, tools, and vision to lead themselves-and others-into a better future.Because we don't just want to change lives. We want to raise leaders.

Bad Kid (a Graphic Memoir)
A searing personal account of the so-called troubled teen industry, this graphic memoir exposes and humanizes the harrowing experience of so many young people in behavioral correction facilities. When she was just thirteen years old, Sofia was taken--by two people she had never seen before--to a "therapeutic wilderness program" three states away. Her own mother, terrified that Sofia was spiraling out of control, had enrolled her in an institution for "troubled teens." But instead of finding healing, Sofia found herself trapped. Trapped inside an unregulated industry that used promises of intervention and reform to prey upon panicking parents and kids with court orders. Over the next two years, Sofia would cycle through four different residential programs. In these places, school hours were a privilege, not a right. Contact with the outside world, including her mother, was strictly monitored. Teenage inmates were encouraged to call one another out. Still a child--ripped from her home, stripped of basic freedoms, and severed from her family and friends--Sofia struggled to understand who she really was beneath the crushing weight of the label BAD KID. A darkly funny and intimate coming-of-age tale, this graphic memoir exposes the harrowing realities of adolescence in and out of the "troubled teen" industry of the early 2000s. And in doing so, Bad Kid explores the lasting impact of the labels we're given--and how making art can help transmute them.

It could even happen in America.

Making Nothing but Love
The older I became the less I understood about the meaning of Love and its relationship with my career, work and life in general. The confusion of lust with love caused many setbacks in all areas. Life became less clear. Once I understood my role in life as a son, a brother a father and spouse, life became livable and with less self-tormenting conflicts. After leaving home in Northeastern Oklahoma at eighteen this father of five later settled down, after an Air Force career, in the beautiful Pacific NW where all the magic of life comes together with family. His hobbies are cooking, enjoying music, and studying family history.
Haunted USA
We've got spirits, yes we do! Haunted USA is a terrifying treasure trove of supernatural scares from each of the 50 states, from the vengeful witch of New Hampshire, Goody Cole, to Missouri's unlikely icon, Momo the swamp monster. In this illustrated compendium drawing on fact, folklore, mythology and urban legend, you'll shine a light on ghosts, ghouls, cryptids, and even a haunted carousel. Some tales will give you chills--like that of Rue, the unfortunate daughter of an Oregon lighthouse-keeper who even today wanders the forlorn tower's guest rooms--while others--like the friendly ghost of Dr. Justina Ford who guides visitors around her old Colorado home--prove that some phantoms still hold on to that friendly American spirit. Some are downright strange. Have you ever heard of the chocolate-loving ghost of Iowa, or Delaware's specter who can't stand sneezing? Still others are older than the USA itself, from Hawaii's Night Marchers to the ancient Sleeping Buffalo Rock of Montana (which may not be quite so asleep after all). When you've read all you can handle, turn to the back of the book for a glossary of ghoulish terms and even expert advice on going ghost-hunting yourself! Whether you're after a campfire fright, a slice of local lore, or a traditional tale to sink your teeth into, Haunted USA is a rich anthology from the land of the really, really brave. With stories that are carefully chosen and sensitively told for 9-12-year-olds, it's perfect for those cozy evenings around Halloween, or for adding a sprinkle of spookiness to a summer road trip.

Discover Your Power
There is an epidemic in this country of kids and young adults not feeling good about themselves. They feel insecure, anxious, down, and have lots of negative feelings about themselves. Is this you?This is not a child's or your natural state. When a child is born, he or she is filled with light and joy; that is his natural state. Look at almost any toddler and that's what you'll see beaming at you. What happens to that joy? Children lose that joy because of their experiences in life, all the negative stuff that they encounter. Those negative feelings all come from the outside. The child is innocent; he or she is not at fault. But this negative view of themselves is all most children have ever known. They have absorbed as fact the labels that have been applied to them by family, peers, and the broader culture. Even if they've been told they're special, they are filled with insecurity and so are fearful and suffer.The purpose of this book/course is to help you, the reader, see yourself not as a collection of the negative (or positive) traits that you've been labeled with by others and yes, even yourself, but to return home to your natural state, which is your heart, and so be free of your wounds. And so discover your power.
