Welcome to It's Raining Books. What group did you hang out with in high school?
,br> I took a GED out of high school. When I decided to take my GED, I had only accumulated 9th grade credit hours due to truancy. I used to skip classes with my best friend Lisa. Each morning we would make an alcoholic drink of Southern Comfort with Canada Dry ginger ale in a large olive green Tupperware cup. So the first thing, I would do when my parents left for work, I would get up and make our favorite alcoholic drink and place it in the freezer so that it could be cold and slushy. We would drink this while walking to high school.
Once we arrived we would go to our locker, talk to a few friends, before heading out the back door to return either one of our homes, catch the city busy down town Detroit, or walk to the mall. Lisa moved away to Georgia and I never found a friend that could replace her.
I started skipping classes by myself and catching the Joy Rd bus to downtown Detroit alone to go the Main Detroit Library on Woodward Avenue. Oh my god! I loved this library so much because of the medieval paintings on the ceiling on the top floor and the old musty smell of the library books. I still love this scent today. I skipped school to go to the library to read and read and read. It was my home. I still have an affinity for libraries. When I travel, I try to find old libraries so I can find some obscure book, read, and sniff the pages.
What are you passionate about these days?
I collect Crystal Skulls and Alien Star Being Gemstones. I love them so much. Each one has a different energy. Right now, as I am typing --I am wearing my pietersite Alien Gemstone with labradorite eyes in between my breasts in the center of my bra. They are approximately 4 inches tall, 4 inches long, and 3 inches wide. Pietersite is a very powerful gemstone for harnessing your energy to complete tasks. It will will help you discipline yourself to tackle large and small projects. The first time I wore this gemstone, I nearly fainted because the vibration was so strong.
I had a past life regression reading where I was placed under hypnosis. It was an amazing experience. I was a white male name Peabo, I had a wife her name was Estelle, and four boys. I was a sergeant in the army. My current boyfriend was my wife in that lifetime. I was a horrible husband and father because I was always worried about money.
I plan to do this once a year or so. I was loopy for a couple of days. I learned a lot about myself. I bought a past life regression oracle cards and I plan to do some past life readings on my YouTube channel.
Jungle Beauty Goddesses “Pretty Blue” Book 1
If you were given planet Earth as a gift to develop its life forms—would the world be a better place than it is today? What would your primary expectation and goal be for each human? Would you give them free will or plan their destiny? Would you demand that your humans worship you as their creator? Would you be available to assuage their every desire; and acquiesce to their demands, prayers, and wishes? Would you grow to resent them for living the life you imagined?
The Jungle Beauty Goddesses were free-spirited goddesses who enjoyed their freedom as the youngest children—and the last deities born to their parents—creators of the universe. Per the family tradition of being awarded a planet, the septuplets were given planet Earth as a gift for their birthday. Their siblings, also gods and goddesses of the universe since the beginning of time, warn them about the challenges of selflessness, power, worship, and divine duty.
The seven sisters struggle to maintain their own freedom as limitless beings, while sibling rivalry makes it difficult to accept their collective duty to fulfill the family obligation to the deity-hood as creators for planets.
The entire universe threatens to collapse due to their negligence and disobedience. They question the boundaries of their divine powers as they ponder whether it is possible to mold a being to be superior to its creator.
Jungle Beauty Goddesses “Aquatic Ball” Book 2
Sometimes your worst nightmare is having everything you ever wanted. Upon visiting planet Earth, the Jungle Beauty Goddesses discover that the life forms they created are in danger of extinction, and an unforeseen dominant species has positioned itself to take dominion.
Unprepared and disillusioned about how to access their highest vibrational frequency; the Jungle Beauty Goddesses face their own demise.
The only way they can save themselves, their planet, and ultimately the universe is by managing to align with their deity powers and the wisdom of their highest selves in the face of their worst fears, disappointments, and betrayals.
Jungle Beauty Goddesses “Dirty Ball” Book 3
If you had the power to make anyone in the world fall in love with you—would you? Jungle Beauty Goddess Afar revokes her deity vows and takes her destiny into her own hands by participating in the life she was born to create for others.
Afar embraces the deepest, darkest nuances of her shadow self with brutality, dignity, and integrity. She brazenly unleashes the murkiest qualities of the human condition and leaves the chaos for her unsuspecting sisters to clean up or suffer the consequences of losing the planet given to them by their parents--creators of the universe.
Jungle Beauty Goddess Afar’s actions give a new meaning to the saying, “Hell has no fury like a woman scorned.”
Read an Excerpt
“They will never have to worry about a male demanding to be let into their being or feeling betrayed by another female who decides to do so. Their fishtails represent the wholeness of femininity; nothing can be taken away or added to who they are as complete beings. They are capable of reproducing themselves without males. I have decided that ten percent of the hybrid fish human water beings will be males; however, they will not be capable of reproducing, and they will only be attracted to other males. This is the best way for me to control masculine energy so that it aligns with feminine power and domination.” Afar continued to style the hair on various heads, never looking up at Mada.
Swish. Bloop. Engh.Engh. Engh. Swoosh. Blurp. Blurp. Sheesh. Sheesh. Bloop. Engh.Engh. Engh.
The loud silence of the hybrid half fish half human beings, swimming in the aquariums, fills the air in the room between Afar and Mada.
Mada walks around the table to Afar, places his hands on her shoulders, pulls her close to him, and asks, “Why are you so aloof, distant, and cold?”
“You mean like your kisses, dahling?” Afar quipped, looking deeply into Mada’s eyes.
“What happened to you? Have you gone mad?...Where is the woman? I fell in love with? Hhmm?” Mada asked.
“Under the apple tree waiting for the man who promised to adore her, pacing back and forth searching for him night after night, year after year; listening to the echo of his voice in her head promising that he would love only her,” Afar says nonchalantly before laughing deeply. “She is where you left her, dahling.”
