good grief
There are no happy endings.
Endings are the saddest part,
So just give me a happy middle
And a very happy start.
– Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic
Grief doesn’t change you. It reveals you. I believe in therapy. If you’re depressed or experiencing chronic grief, please talk to someone. In addition to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline (1.800.273.TALK), there are so many resources a

“I am an invisible man. No I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allen Poe: Nor am I one of your Hollywood movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids, and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, simply because people refuse to see me.”

quote
“I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves or figments of their imagination, indeed, everything and anything except me.”

“Secrets. Everyone has them. The light of day and truth reveal some secrets to be nagging obsessions or habits, while other secrets may be as incriminating as a literal decaying skeleton in one’s closet.”

“Resentment has the potential to consume many who appear to be otherwise blameless. Unresolved caged resentment that one day breaks free and kills all of the delicate innocence in the yard. Acidic, rancorous resentment has gears for teeth that are perfectly oiled by bitterness and possess a judgment unable to discern the corrupted from the good.”

“While the differences between love and hate can be blurred and difficult to decipher at times, the dichotomy of denial and acceptance are much more distinct. One is halting and aggressively rejects all truth, while the other is more passive and at peace – welcoming whatever truth is in waiting, whether fortunate or tragic.”

Welcome to all of my new Goodreads friends. You're awesome and you know it, so clap your hands :)I look forward to reading with you all.
My name is Kenn Bivins. And if you'd like to try something NEW and exciting, my first novel Pious is for you. But be warned – it's explosive – a perilous package that, if opened, seems innocuous at first. An assuring caress is, without warning, followed by a concussive punch.Carpious Mightson is an esteemed and respected man in his community who is confronted with a desperate secret about his past when a registered sex-offender moves into his neighborhood.
Pious promises to be an addictive tale that is full of twists and turns, with a cinematic telling. It’s currently available at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and PiousBook.com. Get ready to be drawn in, intrigued and then left smoldering with introspection long after the final chapter has been read.
Hey, nice to be connected. My husband is also an advertising guy; and it lurks somewhere in my past, too. New to this; but promise to catch up with recommendations and reviews.
Your very welcome! I hope I can read something else from you soon :-)
Hi, Kenn...thanks for the invite into your circle of friends...CONGRATS on your book...and best of luck to you with any/all future writings...looking forward to sharing chats, reviews and any/all recommendations...have a blessed weekend...and Happy Reading & Writing :-)
Hey Kenn...Thanks for accepting my friend request...I've already added your book "Pious" to my "to-read" list. I see you're a fan of Cornel West too...I love "Race Matters", and you'll enjoy "The Darkest Child"...I gave it 5 stars...let me know how you like it when you read it.
