I want to thank you again for mentoring me with my marketing and sales for my children’s book. Not many people would have taken the time to help another aspiring writer/publisher. I do not believe I would have been as successful had you not lended your expertise.

Closure is the theme for you this season, so I said a prayer for you that God will give you the space and peace of mind needed to finish the task at hand. That he would lead and guide you in all that you do. That he continues to order your footsteps, as all good men’s steps are. That as you write your true purpose and calling will be revealed. Amen!

When we walk in our destiny, especially after we discover what that is, all the struggles, disappointments, and hard knocks – only enables us to realize we are more than mere survivors as others deem, we are part of making history reality, we are the conduit through which the power of enlightenment, consciousness, and most of all, historiographers, griots of who we are and whose we are! I am as always my Brother, proud, humbly proud to call you my friend, my inspiration! Blessings as always – our prayers and hope is for you to continue the path which you have been led, remember Jeremiah 29:11 and 2 Timothy 1:7.

Mr. Woods…I was wondering where I could get a copy of your book? I ran across your website this weekend and it piqued my interest. I’ve been researching the response measures taken by the major cities affected by Katrina and Rita in 2005, namely Houston and New Orleans for my own personal enrichment and also perhaps because I am particularly concerned that we have forgotten these after a couple quieter hurricane seasons. My view was always from what the television brought into my living room and I never felt like that was good enough. No matter how many journalists reported on the Katrina disaster I always felt like they were missing the point.

Thank you for telling this story and informing everyone who really was involved, what really happened, when the events actually took place, where the most devastation actually occurred, why there was miscommunication, and how the people coped with this disaster.

Michael,

I just came home from a play on Shakespeare’s life.  A compilation of his works as told by himself, Will.  A one-man show.  It brought you to mind, as I close out my night here in Las Vegas.

There are those, who have a vision, a conviction so strong that one moves forward to birth it, and do so from a power greater than oneself, from the power within themselves. Even though they might not be totally conscious of that power.

You are likened onto that.  For whatever intentions you believe you have for bringing The Contraflow to fruition, there is something much bigger in play.  The cool thing is that is the Truth, the exciting thing is we get to watch and be a part of its unfoldment.

I am getting off track.  The intent of this email was to tell you that what you have accomplished to this day in time, is amazing and a story all its own.

I am humbly extending my acknowledgement to you and to express my gratitude of the honor of being involved in this project.  It has been my pleasure, Michael.

Sincerely,

Sharon
