My name is Donna Kay Harris. First, let me welcome you into my small world of spiritual awareness. My spiritual awareness started in 1978. I used to write to free my spirit. I was at a point in my life where I wanted to be freefree from work, family, and old friends. I wrote to connect my spirit and have a clear understanding of my lifestyle. I started to write to find my authentic self, as well as to realize if my family and friends were authentic to me and themselves. It helped me change my caretaking behavior. Learning and growing in a way that I can serve God in my adult life, this book is a gift to myself. I hope it is a gift to anyone who reads my poems. I hope my poems can help you on your spiritual journey in life.

Because racism isnt so blatant these days, it is important to highlight the issues that are keeping the African American race in bondage instead of continuing to let those issues go unresolved and cause more issues. This book suggests dealing with the issues head-on to move forward and end the cycle of dysfunction. This book has discussed numerous ways to heal from sophisticated slavery. It is important for everyone who reads this to self-reflect and see which type of sophisticated slavery is affecting them, whether they are experiencing issues in their employment or health or trying to discover their purpose. Once that has been discovered, then you can create your own strategy on how you can heal. Please use these various tactics provided to help you heal. Use your support systema friend, counselor, or spiritual counselor or psychiatristto aid you in the process. Once you have healed yourself, then you can also share what you learned with others. The goal is to heal the community. We also encourage other cultures to get involved. This is a group effort, and we can make progress one day at a time. During my spiritual journey and my observations of life, I have always been amazed at what brings us to Gods love. It may be a hardship, a family death, or any kind of separation in the family. This may seem odd, but I have always felt that African American people are blessed and privileged to have had so many hardships. During this adversity and definitely horrific experience, they were forced to rely and depend on God. They just dont know that this was the most awesome support, love, honor, and bonding that anyone can ever experience. I hope anyone who reads this book will be encouraged to use the love of God, your healer and your provider, as a special gift for yourself for anything you ask for in life. I have witnessed the power and support of God. It is more powerful than any amount of money, any amount of success, and any other human gift. Please trust God in everything you do.

Unlike the media would have you believe, most black males find great value in education. They want to believe that they have a special gift and that they can make a difference in the world. The problem is that they have ill feelings about how society has deprived them of the most qualified teachers and the best ways to be engaged in their own education. As a consequence of repeatedly being marginalized, criticized, and put down by society and teachers, they do not feel motivated to attend school or to produce outstanding academic work. The Secrets for Motivating, Educating, and Lifting the Spirit of African American Males contains essays that center on how to help educators and parents to equip young black males with the drive necessary to craft fulfilling lives for themselves so they dont slip through the cracks in the educational system. Historically, we are still dealing with what happens to the image of Black people in the minds of white people. A book like this helps to make certain that the information teachers provide to all studentsregardless of their racewill help them understand that the history of this country has made generation after generation of black students see themselves as academically and socially inferior to white people. Most importantly, its the teachersnot just black teachers, but all teachers who have to understand the power they have to change the mindset of society. Changing how society thinks about Black people, particularly Black males, is a task teachers can truly accomplish because they have the power to create lesson plans that challenge how students think about each other. For such lessons are important for changing the attitudes and beliefs of the entire community in which we live. REVEREND C.T. VIVIAN, A Pioneer of the Civil Rights Movement, Author, Educator, and a Close Friend of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This book provides a fresh perspective for understanding the problems associated with the education of Black males. As a minister, I have not encountered a project that gathers the collective wisdom of a group of over 20 Black male educators who are dedicated to helping the world save young Black males. When all their ideas come together, they are bound to create a storm of new thinking about how all of us can work together. As a spiritual leader, my role is to help young Black males understand that the same God that was in Dr. King is the same God that is in them. This is a difficult lesson for some Black males who have been brainwashed to see themselves as having no say about the outcome of their lives. This book will help us, including those in the ministry, to reevaluate the thinking patterns of our boys so that we can better prepare them for the critical thinking that is required for life in the 21st century.

There was once a poor man who came from a good Christian family. Because he had many questions, he left home to discover why just a few become rich. His quest led him to a rich man who was not only pious, but kind, loving, and humble. This made the poor man think differently about rich people. The rich man welcomed him to his home, and the poor man wondered why this man was so kind to a poor stranger. For months, the poor man studied the rich one. All my life, he thought, I have been raised to believe that the rich are mean and do not have respect for others, let alone take time to pray to God. But now, I know that the rich also pray. I must ask this man to teach me. So his lessons began, and the rich man taught the poor one everything he needed to know to begin living a fulfilled life. He taught him that it is the blessing of the Lord that makes one rich. He taught him how to cultivate new beliefs. He taught him that he had to change his mental attitude toward people and money. But above all, he taught him that money is but a servant, meant to serve a purpose. The poor man was transformed and became rich himself. He also became an evangelist, spreading the good news to others. About the Author Upon completing a degree in law at the University of Kent in Canterbury, England, Kingsley C. Njoku, a Nigerian, found himself far from home and facing a crossroads. He stumbled upon a centuries-old secret that brought him courage. He discovered the power of positive thinking and faith.

This is my first book in the "Secret" series. The Secret of Success, is the proposition that real peace and happiness result when the whole person has physical, social, financial, and spiritual success. You develop all those qualities to achieve real success. Your whole life is full of mental peace and happiness when your whole person becomes greater than the sum of its parts. Real success is not an accomplishment in just one area but proficiency in all four. Our education system provides instruction for the whole curriculum of life. If you are good at math but cannot speak with proper grammar, your success will be soiled. An entertainer like Elvis Presley may sell two hundred million records and have two hundred million friends but be broke and alone with a drug and spending addiction. The ordinary person focuses on the parts of life they are trying to receive while the successful person focuses on the whole life they are trying to accomplish. The second book in the series is The Secret of Money: Beating Inflation in the 21st Century. It would be a nice complement to this one.
