    Thanks OCEAN Magazine! The new book, "postcards from the road", is NOW available! It is a 180 page book of life essays combined with a journal. This hard cover book is definitely something to keep for years to come. Come, sit, enjoy some tea...let's chat....

    Here's a partial quote from "postcards from the road." It's from an essay titled No Hoodies in Heaven....

    “Dear Teacher,

    You asked us today if we had one wish what would it be?
    While I have so many, and none at the same time, I wondered long and hard about what I would choose.
    While I was thinking, and working, I heard you talking.
    You didn’t see me see you, or hear you, but I was there.
    I heard you say “those” and “them” and I felt sad,
    for you….

    .....I choose to be not judged by the color of my skin but by the content of my character.
    You taught me that phrase, and I was listening,
    for both of us.

    Sincerely,
    a 6th grader”
