"Transcending Labels: The Power of Connecting with the Special Needs and Disabled Communities" is a collection of what has been on my heart to share for years; the immeasurable value of connecting with the special needs and disabled communities.There just so happen to be hints of ‘self-help’ suggestions in there, too. A bit of it is from my perspective, but a large portion comes from conversations with some of the best human beings that I have ever met.Use this as a guide for how to treat individuals with special needs and/or disabilities in your community. Take a suggestion from one of the application sections if you feel so inclined. Or, simply enjoy some heartwarming accounts of what it means to truly see beyond disabilities.“Maybe Next Year” is as thorough an account of being a diehard fan of loser sports teams as I could put together. It is certainly a passion project of mine, given that the better part of my 27 years have consisted of watching Cincinnati teams fail miserably. This book is meant to be a fun, light-hearted depiction of what it means to suffer through painful seasons and flat-out brutal losses with the teams you hold closest to your heart. Included in the book are what I feel are the most heartbreaking losses for 20 of America’s fan bases, my “Top 5 Most Miserable Combos in Sports Fandom,” and the Top 5 losses specifically for Cincinnati fans in my lifetime (1994-Present). My number one goal is that I have completed the largest example of reverse psychology that the sports world has ever seen, and that 2021 will be the year that a Cincinnati team finally gets it done. However, if the book simply provides some type of therapeutic value to the average sports fan, then I have done my job. Laugh with me or at me, shed a few tears for your team if you must, but hopefully you enjoy.
