I am grateful for fellow authors and blogger pals, like Michael D. LeFevre, author of He Was Weird.

Once you read, He Was Weird, the story will stick with you. Within the pages of this book is a multifaceted story that holds deep meaning for parents, teenagers, teachers, and those in authority. The story of will grip you. It won’t let you go until you reach the final conclusion, which isn’t simply what the boy does, or why, but how his actions change (both directly and indirectly) all of those around him.

While reading the first few chapters, it occurred to me that I wasn’t the target audience for this book because “I’m not a sports person,” nor do I have teenage children. I’m not a school teacher, or authoritarian figure who might influence a teen either. I wondered if I could make it through the book! But we do have a 13-year old granddaughter who is on the Autism spectrum. We think she’s outgrown most of it, but we do still find that she needs help, like more time to complete her school assignments. My daughter works with said granddaughter’s teachers and school administrators to give her that extra allotment of time, thankfully. But other kids have bullied our granddaughter and I’ve offered her the same advice my mother gave me when I was little. I was bullied from the time I was in kindergarten. Ah! So, there’s the touch point.

The more I read of the bullying our main character endured, the more hooked I became in this book. Though the story is about a boy, I could still relate a bit. Especially the name calling. Even as a girl, I got physically hit, had hair pulled, and had toys broken when I was little, so there’s that. But overall, I think the bullying made me think less of myself–it dropped my sense of ‘self esteem’. And in this case, for a young boy on the Autism spectrum who suffered deficits in attention, motor control, and perception (DAMP), it was so much worse. I connected with him, while thinking of my granddaughter and how she absorbs words and actions deeply, and as some would say, “takes EVERYTHING to heart.”

I won’t give you spoilers because there’s so much action within the pages of He Was Weird. Besides the main characters, there are many others you will get to know. There are characters you’ll love and several you’ll want to hate. There will be characters you’ll side with and those you’ll want to kick out of the job or office they’re in. I sympathized with several and couldn’t imagine living in their shoes. And there were many I would never want to know, much less live near. But I don’t want to spoil it for you. I will say, be prepared to sit with this book and learn lessons from it. There’s plenty of blame to go around by the end. This book is engaging and potentially life-saving. You’ll see.

Deep dive topics

We’re down to earth (even if we are conspiracy theorists) not in the ground yet! Just dancing around in the mystifying Multiverse… all humble like. But we’re always thinking, onward and upwards! And since I haven’t had much feedback, I’ve decided to focus on the following topics for 2025, continuing to dance with my strange and unusual sides. Thus, in upcoming blog posts I’ll write about:

  • Balancing Perspectives
  • Expanding Consciousness
  • Self Reflection
  • Kaleidoscope Method
  • Mirrorball Perspectives
  • Moral Ambiguities
  • Multifaceted
  • Multiverse

Everything happens for a reason in the multiverse and there are myriad sides to every story

Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason in the multiverse and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s THRIVE in ’25!

Yours in expanding, coexisting (because there’s more than one-side to every story), spiraling consciousness,
