Chapter 1 It was two years since Allison Stevens had been to her hometown of Rustin, Colorado. She left after high school graduation, due to an unresolved issue with her father. One minute she was in a heated argument and then she was grabbing her suitcase walking out the door, only looking back once, but it was long enough to see the hurt look in her mother’s eyes. She threw her suitcase onto the back seat of Tom’s Chevy and got into the front seat. Tom leaned over, gave her a quick peck on the cheek, and then started the car. At that time her heart and mind were a million miles apart. Tom who was a couple of years older had swept her off her feet. Tall, with gorgeous brown eyes and a voice that dripped like honey, he was always telling her she was the most beautiful girl he ever saw. When he ran his fingers through her long auburn hair, it would send chills through her body and when their eyes met, she felt as though she would melt. “Tom, where will we go?” Allison asked, now faced with the reality of the hasty decision she had made. “Collingwood. I’ve been offered an internship with an advertising firm there. I know you’re scared. It’s a big step, but you’ll see. Everything will work out. We’ll get married. Isn’t that what you want?” he asked -glancing over at her with his dazzling smile that seemed to make her lose all common sense. “Yes, of course. But where will we live? Do you have money to get a place? Allison asked, feeling unsure of her future. Doubt was beginning to creep in. “We’ll stay with my brother and his wife until we can get a place of our own. I already talked to them.” “It sounds like you have everything all figured out,” said Allison leaning her seat back. “How long will it be till we get there?” “About an hour and a half,” Tom said. “Why don’t you get some sleep and I’ll wake you when we’re there.” “Okay.” Allison took one last look out the side window as the highway stretched before her leaving her home behind. Her final thought before her eyes shut was, I will probably never see my parents again. The years had not been kind to Allison. Tom was not at all what she had expected. He did get his job at Bedford Advertising and seemed to settle in quite nicely, and Allison even managed to get put in charge of the advertising for their magazine. She started to get one pay raise after another and felt she was finally living the life she was meant to live right before the bottom dropped out. Allison was called into Mr. Bedford’s office one day in the middle of June. In the time she had been there, she knew that nothing good ever came from a special meeting with the boss. “You have been a valuable asset to our company, but with the conflict between you and your husband, due to our company rules we have to let one of you go.” Mr. Bedford got up from his desk and came towards Allison. “I hate to have to do this, but we are terminating you.” “I’m not sure I understand why.” Allison got up and walked towards the door. “But I’ll clean out my desk.” “Stop by accounting and pick up your check and your letter of recommendation before you leave. I wish you the best, Allison.” That was the end of the life she treasured. One-day Allison had a high paying job, a husband she loved and hoped to have children with some day, and then it was all gone.

START EVERY TIME | Chapter 4 “Do or do not. There is no try.” - Yoda Once you’ve started you must continue to start - daily. You can create anything you wish if you commit to it every single day. Treat every day as its own. The path to achievement is a collection of your daily starts. Every single day you may have to overcome fear, remind yourself of your clear vision and your purpose to begin. Don’t wait until you’re in the mood to begin. Take on what's right in front of you. Imagine transforming from who you are now: a person who sits for hours each day only to think about starting, into a person who takes action in those hours once filled with thought. “One step in the right direction is worth 100 years of thinking about it.” - T. Harv Eker Every time you think about hesitating, don’t. Speed to implementation. When you speed to implementation, you will shrink the time between thought and action. The more you shrink the time between thought and action, the quicker you will begin. F__ fear. Be clear. Just Start. Every time. You’ll be surprised how much your focus intensifies over time. When no time exists between your thought and your action, you will become automatic. Speed to implementation until you become automatic. Stay with it and you’ll become automatic.

It reaches out to another person, whether friend or stranger, with an open hand. Poetry moves the heart. It is but a tiny voice that cries out to reshape a troubled world. Poetry is faith. Poetry is hope. Poetry is love. It reaches inside of us to create emotions previous unknown. Above all, poetry matters.

This book is meant to do two things. One to bring awareness to the lives of those who live in the ghetto and other urban and impoverished areas. These people have stories that no one hears about. When we hear about them in the news we don't see them as people, thus this books is meant to bring back humanity to those who we have dehumanized.
The second thing this book is meant to achieve is to inspire those living in the ghetto to not just achieve their destiny but become a destination for others to follow. It is meant to show people that they can conquer their environment and that no matter where you are born or what colour your skin is you can achieve greatness and even immortality. This book was inspired by books like The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela's The Long Walk To Freedom, Maya Angelou's I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings to name a few. So if you want to read a book meant to not just inspire minorities but also to give voices to the people whose stories we don't know about. Then this book is for you, your children and your grand-children. My hope is that book can help save lives and stop the stereotypical killings like the Trayvon Martins, Jordan Davis's, Oscar Grants, Mike Browns and the others who have been killed for no other reason than the colour of their skin and the prejudices that go with that skin."
