    Love’s Journey can be best described as a cross between a spoken word album and an audio book that combines poetry with emotional story telling. It’s more than a collection of poems about love put together. Poems written over a two-decade period organically come together to form a narrative of their own to reveal emotions as the true protagonist of this audio book. The commentaries for each poem help the story to unfold before your ears. They reveal some of the story behind the poems without giving away too much. They also provide clues to help solve some of the mysteries behind the events that inspired such deep emotions. Some mysteries presented are solvable while others aren’t and retain the book’s overall intrigue. 
    Love’s Journey tells the emotional story of my experiences with love in its various facets over the years in the form of poetry. Romantic love and heartbreak are recurring themes for most of the poems, but there are other forms of love included as well. Why write about these experiences in the form of poetry? Our individual experiences and circumstances may be something that not everyone can relate to. But emotions are universal! We all have them. My poetry is a way that I can emotionally connect with others, especially those with different life experiences. Feel your own emotions in my poetry and connect my words with your own personal experiences with love.   
    Each poem is enjoyable on its own, but the greatest reward is to be had when viewing them as an episode of a series from my real-life experiences. Listening to Love’s Journey more than once is required to unravel the love mystery that develops from the questions you will naturally ask yourself as you listen to it. You may even learn something from my journey that will benefit you on your very own journey of love. Take notes as you listen and compare them with the provided commentary as you embark on Love’s Journey!

    Walter Lionel George was born to British parents on the 20th March 1882 in Paris, France. 
    It was not until he was a young man of 20 that he learned English.  In 1905 he moved to London to work in an office but soon found himself working as a journalist, and as a foreign correspondent, for various London newspapers. 
    By 1911, with the publication of his first novel ‘A Bed of Roses’, which portrayed the fall of a penniless young woman into prostitution, his efforts were rewarded, and he turned to literature as a full-time career. 
    His writings now sold well.  He added short stories to his offerings as well as literary essays and several tracts that discussed left-wing themes.  Some critics thought his subject matter to be difficult and poorly chosen. His political views gained him little credit amongst his peers although such luminaries as George Orwell praised both subject matter and style. 
    His personal life was also turbulent.  His three marriages left him widowed twice.  In 1908 he married Helen Porter who died in 1914.  Helen Agnes Moorhead followed in 1916 but died only 4 years later.  His last marriage was to Kathleen Geipel in 1921. 
    W. L George died on 30th January 1926.  He was 43.

    Tap Dancing to Work (2012) looks at the long life of investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway and one of America’s richest men. Carol Loomis, who led coverage of Buffett for decades at Fortune magazine, collected more than 40 articles along with excerpts from Buffett’s annual letters to shareholders to showcase his ideas on just about everything. Some articles are lighthearted, such as one that explores whether Warren and singer Jimmy Buffett are related (maybe). For the most part, though, the articles highlight his investment strategies, his long-time friendship with Microsoft’s Bill Gates, and his profound impact on the US economy, the stock market, and CEOs worldwide.

    This is small part of introduction of the book: Desmond Mpilo Tutu, a name synonymous with courage, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to justice, was a South African Anglican cleric who served as Archbishop of Cape Town from 1986 to 1996. Born into a segregated society under the oppressive regime of apartheid, Tutu emerged as a beacon of hope and a powerful voice for the oppressed. His unwavering belief in human dignity and his tireless efforts to dismantle the apartheid system earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984. 
    This biography delves into the remarkable life of Desmond Tutu, exploring his journey from humble beginnings to becoming a global icon of peace and reconciliation. It chronicles his early life, education, and conversion to Christianity, highlighting the pivotal moments that shaped his character and set the stage for his extraordinary contributions to society. 
    Tutu's life was a testament to the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and bring about positive change. His legacy lives on, not only in South Africa's transition to democracy but also in the countless individuals and organizations around the world inspired by his unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and human rights. 
    Early Life and Education 
    Born on October 7, 1931, in Klerksdorp, a small town in South Africa's Transvaal Province, Desmond Tutu grew up amidst the harsh realities of apartheid. His family was of mixed ancestry, with Xhosa and Motswana heritage, and he experienced firsthand the discrimination and segregation that defined the lives of Black South Africans under apartheid. 
    Despite the challenges he faced, Tutu was a bright and inquisitive child. He excelled in his studies and was particularly drawn to literature and history. After completing his primary education, he attended St. Peter's College in Johannesburg, where he continued to excel academically and demonstrated a strong leadership potential.
