Dearly Beloved - Prince...

Pamela Ayo Yetunde

"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life." 
  
When Prince spoke those words over celestial organ sounds in the opening moments of "Let's Go Crazy," he wasn't just inaugurating yet another Billboard Hot 100 hit—one of forty-seven in his career; he was also giving voice to the deep-seated and richly complex spiritual underpinning of his art. Prince is beloved by millions worldwide, and a true legend of the pop genre. Yet most of his fans don't recognize the spiritual messages coded within his work, nor understand the connections between Prince's own religious devotion—which evolved over time—and the sexualized messages of his music. Prince was beguiling and used his seductive and mysterious charm to draw his fans into his spiritual and cosmic worldviews, often without their knowledge. 
  
In Dearly Beloved, Pamela Ayo Yetunde, a lifelong Prince fan and founder of the Theology of Prince project when she taught at United Theological Seminary in Prince's own Minneapolis, decodes the spiritual and sexual messages behind Prince's work, from For You to Graffiti Bridge to The Rainbow Children and beyond. 
  
Exploring more than forty years of his music and art, you will discover Prince as a spiritual giant. He might not have always gotten it right, but nonetheless he cast a powerful vision for what it means to be dearly beloved, what it takes to gather intentionally, the opportunities presented by being in the present, and how to engage with the complexities of human experience. For anyone who loves Prince, is inspired by him, is confused by his lyrics, or is curious about what his music means—and for all who live in search of deeper meaning and tools for cultivating resilience in difficult times—Dearly Beloved is an essential spiritual guide.

Drink Water and Mind Your...

Dr. Donna Oriowo

Society was not built with the needs of Black women in mind. As a result, we learn that the only way to feel good about ourselves is to prioritize everyone else's needs over our own. We find our value in being the perfect partner, mother, daughter, employee, and friend. But that is exhausting. Instead of feeling good about how dope we are, we only feel good about what we do for others. 
 
 
 
Supremacy culture teaches us to hate Black people, to hate women, and to especially hate Black women . . . except when they need us. So in a world where our service is required for acceptance, how could we ever feel good about ourselves while also giving the middle finger to systems of power? How can we live our best lives? The answer: Self-esteem. Self-esteem has been gatekept by the white and male supremacist delusions for far too long. It's time to put power where it actually belongs.

Based on years of research and Dr. Donna's career as a licensed sex and relationship therapist, this book will help you set boundaries, prioritize your needs, understand your immense worth, and pursue a life that brings you pleasure and joy.

By tradition, our next world experiences are fixed in accepted philosophical understandings or time-honored religious beliefs. Any challenge to these options requires that we find the private moments to become unbiased and fearless. 
The Afterlife Experience - How Our Association with Nature's Elements Shaoes the Outcome suggest something outside cautious thinking. It recommends that for one moment, we try and imagine something that rest beyond what we have historically embraced. That we explore unorthodox ideas freely and without past ancient convictions.

It asks that we not turn our back on the influence of nature's elements in determining our current existance or any expected afterlife path we will travel. 
There are few times in our erathly travells when we are asked to become adventerous. The Afterlife Expperience is one of those moments

The Anxious Parent - Finding...

Jessica Schoettle

Parenthood is supposed to be full of joy — but for many, it’s also full of worry.
You love your children so fiercely that it hurts. You stay up late replaying every word you said that day, wondering if you handled something wrong. You overanalyze every decision, every milestone, every what-if. You want to be present, calm, and grateful — but your mind won’t stop running.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
In The Anxious Parent: Finding Peace When You Overthink Everything, author Jessica Schoettle offers a compassionate and honest look at what it means to raise children in a world that never stops demanding more. With wisdom drawn from her own experiences as both a mother and a lifelong overthinker, Jessica invites readers to step out of the chaos of perfectionism and into the gentle practice of peace.
Through heartfelt storytelling, grounded insights, and practical guidance, this book helps parents recognize that their anxiety isn’t a flaw — it’s often love that’s working too hard. Each chapter offers understanding, reflection, and simple tools for finding calm in everyday moments, including:
• How to recognize the difference between awareness and fear
• Ways to let go of control while still feeling secure
• The emotional cost of perfectionism — and how to trade it for presence
• How to model emotional regulation for your children
• Simple daily grounding practices for anxious minds
• Gentle ways to share the mental load with your partner, family, or faith
The Anxious Parent isn’t about silencing worry; it’s about learning to live peacefully beside it. It’s about transforming anxiety into awareness, and awareness into connection.
Jessica’s voice is both comforting and real — like a friend who sits beside you, not above you. She doesn’t promise a quick fix; instead, she offers a new way of seeing yourself: as a loving, capable parent who doesn’t need to have it all together to raise kind, resilient, emotionally healthy kids.
