Life is about acceptance and patience. We are all going to meet hardship and bumpy roads, so to overcome everything, we should first believe in ourselves and learn to love ourselves. For that to happen, it will all start in you and your thoughts, just like the law of attraction that states like attracts like, meaning, our negative thoughts will give negative results and positive thoughts will result in positive results. Life is a precious thing that needs to be nurtured, and for that to happen, a positive attitude is needed. I am trying to give you all the guidance and support that you need so that you can move forward.

A Greater Ireland examines the Irish National Land League in the United States and its impact on Irish-American history. It also demonstrates the vital role that Irish-American women played in shaping Irish-American nationalism.

In this groundbreaking book, Lilian outlines problems being faced by the boy-child and the underlying societal outcry in this era. She particularly uses close comparisons with current set environment attributing to more males in prisons, gun-violence indulgence, suicide, depression, drug use and substance use, and abuse among other things. She defines possible reasons for the dimmed light in boys. The hypothesis in this book does not claim to have all answers to the setbacks on the boy-child or any gender controversy. Using her personal experiences as a single mother of a boy and interacting closely with male figures through family and work, she gives possible roots of the problems. But one thing for sure, you will connect with and relate with her thoughts and ideas toward igniting back the flame in our sons. And therefore, champion toward making them realize their positions and purpose in the society.

When the first man Adam heard the voice of God walking through the Garden of Eden, he hid himself. The Bible says that he hid himself because he was naked. To uncover a good application, let's examine the word naked. May I suggest that he hid himself because he was unprepared, misinformed, or simply not ready? He was perhaps (as are many men today) not in place nor proper form. He was not dressed. He was not adorned with a sense of power or purpose. He had no strength or motivation! Perhaps he was in a position of authority, but powerless to perform the expectations and duties of the position he held. He was supposed to make things better, but he made a mess of almost everything he touched, because he did not understand his purpose! He did not understand his relationship to what he touched, nor did he understand himself. Adam hid himself then, as many men hid themselves today. Adam was not functioning according to his created purpose. What was his created purpose and why did he cover himself with fig leaves? I will answer the question of his created purpose directly in chapter 3 of this book. For now, let's talk about the fig leaves. Today's man covers himself with fig leaves called crime; theft, murder, rape, and domestic violence to name a few. They end up incarcerated, imprisoned, and extricated from the place of purpose! Today's man hides from child support or they hide themselves from the child and family altogether! Some become career criminals, effectively wasting their lives away. All too often, men seem to seek and discover ways to be absent. When he does not fix the problem, the problem fixes him. What he will not control begins to control him. What he refuses to master now masters him, and thus begins the societal reality and the sad plight of fatherless young men. Women are left alone to rear and train and to raise them! God asked the question, "Adam, where art thou?" So with the same intention of calling men out of obscurity and into accountability and presence, I now also ask, "Men, where are you?"
