A Book and a Chat with Zenaida Roy-Almario

When Zanaida Roy- Almario, my guest on today’s “A Book and a Chat” was told that teens and tweens should not be expected ‘to know how to resolve issues and concerns positively and proactively, by a life coach she was upset. Then, when she attended her oldest son’s freshmen college orientation, the dean of admission indicated that the number one thing that incoming freshmen in college do not know how to do is resolve issues and concerns! Whether it is with a dorm roommate, a friend or a professor, young adults are quick to ask someone else to fix the problem versus trying to do it on their own,” On hearing this and with her experience as a daughter, sister, aunt, wife, school volunteer, banking/lending professional and most of all mother to try and help teens tweens and parents.

Zanaida created “BRAGN™ – Be Real And Great Now. Zenaida wrote BRAGN™ as a result of her frustrations, suffering from internal negative self-talk, shyness and lacking self-esteem. Zenaida wanted to provide empowering communication skills that young adults and parents can utilize today, to spare them the trials and heartaches she experienced as a teen and adult. Zenaida has an Associate In Arts in Communications Studies. She also studied various communication programs.

Zenaida realized the tremendous value mentor-ship can bring young adults and parents, which is why she has made it her mission to encourage, inspire and guide them to “Get BRAGN™” to increase their lives’ positive results!

Following this she has now released a great book for all ages titled "Rhymes and Reasons to Inspire Positive and Proactive Communicating Young Adults" is intended as a guide to help young adults live life positively and to the fullest.

About BRAGN (Taken from Amazon):

A Book and a Chat with Terrell Dunnum

My guest on today’s “A Book and a Chat” is Terrell Dunnum, a school teacher and ordained non-denominational minister. He holds a master’s degree in Christian counseling from American Bible College and Seminary. He is the founder of Total Freedom Ministries, Inc., a non-profit organization that provides mentoring, biblical counseling, and basic life skills to troubled youths and families.

His debut book is “While There is Still Time” a book of prophecy revealed through poetry.

The inspiration for this book came from a series of events that transferred what many people would be consider a dream into the actuality of reality. Writing a book was not something Terrell had set out to do. In fact, the only writing he’d thought about was that which was requirement for obtaining his master’s degree in Christian Counseling.
One day the words of poetry started flowing into his mind and Terrell found himself at odd times of the day or night having to stop whatever he was doing and let the creating of these poems just take place, let the words flow from his mind, allow himself to be used to share the words.

The end result is this great book “While There is Still Time”. As one reviewer put it...

Author Terrell Dunnum uses his gift of words to express a message of faith and action in WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME. Combining scriptures that speak of a necessary sense of urgency along with the author's skill, the book takes you into what is needed in order to ensure we are making the most of the time we have here.

Time is really the operative word, since the sign of the times seem to indicate that the events we see going on in the world is leading us towards either destruction or the promise of eternal life. As with the title, the book reminds us again and again that there is a choice to be made. It is up to the reader whether he or show will heed the call.

Dunnum reminds us of the Holy Scriptures message that God is speaking to us all the time in the world and situations we see. The question then becomes 'Are we listening?' The answer could literally mean the difference between life and death.

The words that are shared in “While There is Still Time” are not preachy, they are not does and don’ts, they are just a poetic message that he shares to help with the reader that will help many along life’s bumpy roads.

So listen now and share an interesting and entertaining show as I spend thirty minutes sharing "A Book and a Chat with Terrell Dunnum".
