~Foreword~
by Fran Briggs
Every so often, you'll come across a book that transcends the obvious and unveils the unknown. How to Jump From a Ferris Wheel and Land On Your Feet, is such a book. This publication goes far beyond the preliminaries of personal empowerment. It rises above.
Other books may have this appeal in a series, but not the unique collection of positive and uplifting stories found here.
When Miriam L. Jacobs sent me the manuscript, I was favorably impressed by the pervasive authenticity. And, I am very thankful.
How to Jump From a Ferris Wheel and Land On Your Feet has been an invaluable guide for my own success journey. The stories of these ten, amazing women not only shed light upon that which was once in the dark, but challenge all who read them to experience a radical shift in their own believing and abilities.
I invite you to capture their extraordinary characters and spirit.
Within these pages, you will discover strategies for overcoming which derive from real-life experiences. Each of the writers brim with brilliance and illustrate a rare and wonderful gift: the power to enlighten, inspire, and amaze through storytelling. You will discover a domain of knowledge, profound truths, and unlimited applications for success and happiness.
How to Jump From a Ferris Wheel and Land On Your Feet is not only a "fast-read," but it's quite enjoyable as well. Each story evokes an appreciation for the courageous and faithful. Prepare to be touched.
If you're in search of a book that not only inspires, but delivers dynamic solutions to not-so-every-day problems, your wait is over. These women will show you how you, too, can jump from a Ferris Wheel and land on your feet.
Let the enlightenment begin!

~ R.I.P Three Little Angels ~
by Auntie Mimi
Awoke with thoughts of angels
Danielle came to mind
that pretty little
special
girl
who left the world behind
Too soon, so soon
she wasnt even four yet
When God said come here
my child
Come meet me at the gate
of Heaven.
Awoke with angels
flying
all about my head
I saw Susan, sweet Susan
laying lifeless; she was dead
God knew why He took her
This innocent child of two
Couldn't understand it then
Not sure if I really do
And Shantel, the oldest
of the three
With beauty, brains and as
wise as she
could be
Her life was short,
only six when she died
for all of my sweet angels
a river of tears we all cried.
Awoke with dreams of angels
they are always in my heart
Not a day ever goes by
When the moments that are dark
Fill me with sadness,
overtaking
my soul
sending me over the edge
to a dark
and lonely road
where I sit and contemplate
my angels who are gone
who left this world too soon
And flew up to the
Beyond.
I know that they are happy
laughing
bouncing with glee
But, I sure do wish
I had them sitting right beside me
Rest in Peace my pretty angels
you now belong to God
Someday we'll meet again
In the Great kingdom of the Lord.
(This poem is dedicated to the memory of
my three nieces who died tragically
in 1987 when a house fire roared.
They are in Heaven with my brother
and their mother. God bless their souls.)
