This is great! Your last book The Moment of Lift had a long waiting list at the library. Its important to write and have yourself in media, as the hegemonic person and idol/role model so people can see from first hand objective point of view where you coming from. With all the war mongering and excess computers updated every year, and such a lot of mothers unable to provide adequate nutrition, education even in first world countries. It's "a cruel world" *metaphor, and you with your cancerian planets unable to live without being a mother until 35 years, as your book explains it takes a lot of financial and emotional planning, and then a 14 hour difficult labour with first baby. One can only primarily look after their own babies, then be a voice for others. One of my highest strengths is not being a mother this Century, and being University educated.

Also, I would like to ask for your or anyone here for help about humanitarian assistance. I just heard about a girl from Bangladesh who is in a hospital in NJ. She has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. All treatments have failed, and her doctors said she is dying and is just matter of days. Her parents tried to come to USA from Bangladesh to be by her bedside and for the last time to see her before she dies. I just heard that her parents were denied visa to the US under section 214(b) of the US Immigration and Nationality Act. A denial under section 214(b) means parents were not able to demonstrate their intended activities in the US would be consistent with the classification of the nonimmigrant vias for which they applied, and It is really sad. I am not even related to the family, but when I heard about this, I remember that I am connected to you and others from department of State in Linkedln and thought maybe someone here can help. I am willing to guaranty their return back to Bangladesh if that is what US embassy in Bangladesh needs. Please let me know if you or anyone you know who can help with this and need additional information.?

Hmmmm. Love it already before reading it. Title speaks for itself. Transitions, change, moving forward, future, hope, new horizons. We all have had next days in life. Please have it translated into French too and why not into African dialects. This is your time and red carpet to tell your story in your own word.. Here at www.sayapafrica.org we will buy and read it to be inspired by it. Thank you Melinda

Melinda, suena como una lectura indispensable para quienes buscamos aprender de la incertidumbre y el cambio. ?? Será interesante ver cómo esos momentos difíciles pueden convertirse en lecciones prácticas, no solo personales, sino también para líderes en todo el mundo. ?Crees que las experiencias personales pueden ser aplicadas a la toma de decisiones estratégicas a gran escala? ??

Wonderful experiences will surely pave the way to the learners and the psychological students and social activists as well.Heartily congratulations for this inspiring enthusiasm!
