In addition, Vaunda's poetry has been published in Cricket and Cicada magazines. Almost to Freedom, her most recent title, received a Coretta Scott King Honor for illustration in 2004. Mayfield Crossing won the Georgia Children's Book in 1995, and Beyond Mayfield received a 1999 Parents' Choice Gold Award. Vaunda's first book, Always Gramma, was selected by the Children's Book Council as a Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies. My mother found my name in a novel she was reading." The children's librarian and author says, "It was destined from the day I was born. Vaunda Micheaux Nelson loves bringing books and children together and feels lucky to have two careers that foster this. Now I can attempt to state the general context of it all and it still would not fully grasp the interaction. My eldest niece took a break to nap and in entered my youngest niece’s imaginary friend, who decided that it was best for us to pivot towards playing Leggo’s for 20 minutes, mixed in with my crystals. We talked about Haitian deities, Peppa Pig and Kamala Harris while coloring & painting. This played out over and over again until this past week, in which I had a moving visit with my nieces. Took some notes, referenced it pertaining to my private practice. 4 years later I have finished reading “The Fallacy of Understanding, The Ambiguity of Change”. I had the thought “oh major cool points” pertaining to the owner of both books. Such a stark difference of purpose, entirely different target audience, but (originally) published within 3 years of each other. The existence of both pieces of literature on the same end table was marvelous. The book next to it caught my eye first, “Pimp: The Story of My Life” by Iceberg Slim. Edgar Levenson resting comfortably on the bottom shelf of an end table. In January of 2016 I noticed this book by Dr. New York, Monarch Press, Inc., 1966 (Monarch Notes and Study Guides).

Gal 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Let us review the words of Paul that have been misinterpreted by most Christians Today, we will delve into the Scriptures in hope of uncovering the truth behind his words and clear out any misunderstandings these verses have created. The proof for this idea comes from the letters of Paul – “the misunderstood apostle” as I call him. They are taught that whoever “obeys/does” the Law of God is “under a curse”. Each New born Christian is taught one way, or the other, that the Law is useless, done away and even a curse. The belief that the “Law is a curse”, is a doctrine that has been handed down for many generations in Christianity. Singularity has how many main characters in one story? I haven’t even bothered counting, but the number doesn’t compare to the level of continuity to keep track of, pull together, and make gel. It’s sometimes hard to keep track of a handful of characters. It put my creativity, memory, and commitment to the test like nothing I’ve done before.

When CeCe reaches the searing heat and dusty plains of the Red Centre of Australia, something deep within her responds to the energy of the area and the ancient culture of the Aboriginal people, and her soul reawakens. Her ticket to a new land brings the adventure she dreamed of…and a love that she had never imagined. One hundred years earlier, Kitty McBride, a clergyman’s daughter, abandoned her conservative upbringing to serve as the companion to a wealthy woman traveling from Edinburgh to Adelaide. The only clues she holds are a black and white photograph and the name of a female pioneer who once traversed the globe from Scotland to Australia. With nothing left to lose, CeCe delves into the mystery of her familial origins. But following the death of her father-the reclusive billionaire affectionately called Pa Salt by the six daughters he adopted from around the globe-she finds herself more alone than ever.
