Every School Day is a New Day:

Community Involvement: Book 3

By: Leatrice D. Williams

“When Parents, Teachers, and Communities Guide Children Together, Every School Day Becomes a Step Toward Confidence, Character, and a Brighter Future.”

A meaningful education rarely ends when the classroom door closes. In Every School Day Is a New Day: Community Involvement, educator Leatrice D. Williams turns attention toward the people, partnerships, and real-world experiences that help students understand their place within a larger community.

The third installment in Leatrice’s Short Stories of a Teacher’s Experience series gathers firsthand accounts from a career shaped by initiative, compassion, and a willingness to look beyond traditional instruction. Her stories move through community character walks, food and clothing drives, letters written to veterans, spelling bees, honor roll ceremonies, courthouse visits, youth leadership programs, and service projects that encourage students to recognize the needs of others.

Rather than presenting education as a process limited to assignments and test scores, Leatrice shows how learning can become more memorable when students are invited to participate. Packing meals for families in need teaches teamwork. Collecting donations introduces responsibility and generosity. Meeting veterans gives gratitude a human face. Visiting civic institutions transforms abstract lessons into experiences students can see, hear, and remember.

What gives the collection its personality is about Leatrice direct storytelling, the experiences are not presented as distant theories or carefully polished case studies. They are personal, practical, sometimes humorous, and occasionally uncomfortable. That candor allows readers to see both the rewards and complications of teaching within a changing community.

Students may discover ideas that can be adapted for classrooms and school programs. Parents and community leaders may gain a deeper appreciation for the relationships that support student development. The children may simply enjoy meeting a teacher who repeatedly found ways to turn ordinary school days into opportunities for service, recognition, curiosity, and connection.

Every School Day Is a New Day: Community Involvement offers a grounded reminder that education becomes stronger when students are given reasons to care about the world beyond themselves. Readers interested in teaching, youth development, civic participation, and the lasting influence of dedicated educators can discover the book through

The Voice That Resonates

  

The Voice That Resonates

By Cheryl Knoll

What Happens When the Soul’s Quietest Voice Finally Becomes Impossible to Ignore?

Some books offer answers. Others create enough stillness for readers to hear the answers already forming within them. Cheryl Knoll’s The Voice That Resonates belongs to the latter—a reflective collection that explores what can happen when the noise of fear, expectation, heartbreak, and ego begins to fade.

Blending poetic meditations with personal spiritual reflections, Knoll writes about the inner voice she understands as a divine presence rooted in love, wisdom, and truth. This voice is not presented as something loud or commanding. It appears through subtle realizations, moments of solitude, encounters with nature, emotional healing, and the gradual awakening of the soul.

At the heart of the book is expansive love—not simply romantic affection, but a healing force that moves inward and outward. Knoll considers love as a place of being, a source of light, and a connection to God and universal consciousness. Her reflections encourage readers to look beyond external approval and recognize the spiritual worth that already exists within them.

The collection is also remarkably honest about the obstacles along that path. Heartbreak, silence, longing, rejection, and the lingering habits of an empath’s ego are not hidden behind polished spiritual language. Instead, they become part of the awakening. Knoll examines how emotional attachment can disturb inner peace and how surrender, self-respect, and acceptance can restore it.

That emotional openness gives the book much of its character. Some passages feel like prayers. Others resemble conversations with the soul. Several carry the rhythm of poetry, while longer reflections explore identity, relationships, gratitude, solitude, spiritual consciousness, and the difference between the authentic self and the labels created by the ego.

Nature also becomes a quiet teacher throughout the book. Trees, birds, storms, flowers, light, water, and changing seasons reflect resilience and renewal. These familiar images make abstract spiritual ideas feel personal and accessible, especially for readers learning to recognize meaning in ordinary moments.

The Voice That Resonates may appeal to readers of spirituality, contemplative poetry, personal transformation, and faith-centered reflection. It is designed less as a book to rush through and more as one to revisit—a few pages at a time, with space afterward to consider what resonates.

For book lovers seeking a sincere exploration of love, awakening, and the soul’s quiet wisdom, Cheryl Knoll’s work offers a meaningful place to pause and listen.

ELARA: Based on True Events How Losing Herself Became the Road Back Home

 “A haunting story of rescue, survival, and the moment a woman begins to remember who she was before the world renamed her.” Based on true events, Elara is the story of a woman rescued in Miami Beach after years of losing herself to survival, duty, and the belief that sacrifice was the only way to love her family. Told through the voice of Michael Evans, Elara follows one unforgettable night of rescue and the long road that follows, from Dr. Chen’s office in Florida to a safe house in Washington, D.C. Along the way, Elara begins to tell the truth about North Korea, China, America, and the quiet ways a person can disappear long before anyone notices. Created as part of a mother-daughter healing project for women and girls, Elara is accompanied by a 90-minute cinematic story experience featuring narration by Michael Evans, voices and music from Asian performing artists, and the emotional figure skating of Polina Korobova. Featuring voices and music by: Dia (Performing Artist, South Korea); Seunghee (Performing Artist, South Korea); Kim’s Note Family (Performing Artist, South Korea); Ruby (Performing Artist, Vietnam); and the emotional figure skating of Polina Korobova (Figure Skater, Ukraine). With contributions by Brian Fitzgibbons, a nationally renowned missing person investigator who has dedicated his life to finding and rescuing missing girls alongside Michael Evans through Kingsman, their charitable private security and intelligence contracting organization. With real-world guidance from Eunhee Park, North Korean defector and author of The Courage to Die, and Zhang Miaomiao, Voice Artist, China, this project grows from the mission that built a community of more than 3 million female subscribers through The REAL Matrix Reloaded: A Map for Escaping the Prison You Can’t See. FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO BECAME WHAT OTHERS NEEDED AND FORGOT WHO SHE WAS, ELARA IS THE ROAD BACK HOME.

Being Great At Your Job Means Nothing: Why Do Recruiters Seek Technical Skills and Hiring Managers Concentrate on Personality and Charm

    

Being Great At Your Job Means Nothing:

Why Do Recruiters Seek Technical Skills and Hiring Managers Concentrate on Personality and Charm

Why are the most qualified candidates often the first ones rejected?

In Being Great At Your Job Means Nothing, tech veteran D.T. Crawford pulls back the curtain on the "invisible machinery" of modern hiring. Through the eyes of Dorian Caldwell and a collection of raw, real-world stories, this book exposes a system that values optics over outcomes and "culture fit" over actual capability.

From the high-speed filter of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to the disconnect between recruiters seeking keywords and managers seeking "vibes," Crawford reveals why meritocracy is often a myth. But this isn't just an exposé—it’s a roadmap for reform.

Discover the ARC Theory (Adaptability, Rigor, and Contribution), a revolutionary human-centered approach to hiring that replaces checkboxes with conversations and mirrors with windows. Whether you are a jobseeker tired of being "algorithmically ignored" or a leader ready to build a team based on true potential, this book is a call to reclaim dignity in the workplace.

It’s time to stop auditing for compliance and start hiring for character.

Spread Game: The Federal Prison Cookbook:

100+ Microwave Masterpieces from the Commissary List

The realest cookbook ever written — because it had to be.

In 2013, Justin Smith was indicted on a federal drug conspiracy charge. He served five years. This book is what he built with them.

Inside a federal housing unit, the chow hall keeps you alive — but the microwave keeps you human. SPREAD GAME is the complete cuisine of the American federal prison system: 103 tested recipes made entirely from commissary items and a single microwave, compiled with real BOP commissary lists and organized the way a cook thinks, not the way the order form prints.

Inside you'll find:

• The master commissary list, decoded — the federal pantry by category with real prices, plus the $60 starter pantry

• Technique that changes everything — hot-water-bath cooking, the chip-bag cooker, micro-frying, the cookie-tray bakery, the mayo sear

• The Spread — the communal build-out meal, from The Standard to the eight-man Birthday Spread

• The legendary Mackerel Patty Sandwich — the exact recipe that fed all of B Unit, and the sandwich-business playbook that came with it

• No-oven desserts that defy belief — two full cheesecake builds, cookie-tray brownies, two-minute fudge, and the Visitation Cake

• A full-page photo for every single recipe — 103 dishes shot in the gritty, mouthwatering style of the yard

Written in a voice as real as the yard and clean enough to gift, SPREAD GAME is for currently and formerly incarcerated cooks, the families who fill their commissary accounts, true-crime readers, dorm-room chefs, and anyone who's ever had to make something from nothing.

You don't need an oven. You need a microwave, a list, and the game.
