‘My Castle, My Jail!
Home Ownership Has Never Been Easier to Lose.’
What ever happened to the American Dream?

My Castle, My Jail!
Home Ownership Has Never Been Easier To Lose

‘This great read tells the fascinating story of the creation of the residential home ownership industry in the 19th Century. The research follows its growth of impacting every decision from where we live, how we make a living and the creation of financial instruments in creating business opportunities. From the first Wall Street melt down of 1836 to the Great Depression, 1929 to our very own 2006 global recession caused by financially engineered chicanery. Moreover it is a story of residential home ownership and it’s leveraging of financial impact on our global economy.

The story is presented through the incredible journey across Europe and the U.S.A. of three generations of Ronald Allens’ family. Like all families trying to find their way through life, there are many earnest decisions to be made and many valuable life-lessons to be learned. These riveting family episodes are explored through relevant historical events in the global markets and the effect these have had through time on residential home ownership.

‘My Castle, My Jail! Home Ownership Has Never Been Easier to Lose.’ is at the same time a touchingly personal account of your own generational family, seeking a place to call your own, a place to call home. What challenges did your grandparents face? How did your parents decide where and how they were going to live? How have your efforts germinated in this changing landscape called the American Dream?

For Release: January 2010

Publication of “13 Steps to Positive Change – There is no Fourteenth Floor”

Every one can tell a story of the many events, happenings and situations we go through in life. It is the ability to recognize the value of these experiences, the very art and science of managing our reality that brings the unique texture of life to each story told.

This book represents a short summary of 13 stories taken from my life and how I have interpreted them and if you will, translated these experiences in a positive way to grow and develop. It is a choice and as my father told me, “be patient there will be plenty of time to make decisions”. I have taken the number 13 as a point of distraction as many people associate an uncomfortable feeling when this number is brought up in conversation. At the same time it is precisely this number that has forged the original number of states in the creation of the Union; now know as the United States. One can elaborate about such associations and interpretations. These interpretations simply emphasize the importance of the meanings we subscribe to all manner of things around us. How you choose to interpret your life’s experiences will determine your life’s view. Just because a cannibal has human on the menu, does not make them any more or less a favor to the Gods…I’ll leave that up to your own interpretation.

Look back on your life’s experiences and project forward how you want your life to read out and more importantly how you want those around you that are left to interpret your life, your legacy

Publication of “113 Reasons to Read These Quotes – A Fearless Guide to Making Better Decisions”

113 Reasons to Read these Quotes has come about simply because of the response to my first Quote book ‘Life Cycles’ 113 Quotes to Guide Your Daily Decisions. People simply wanted to know my perspective because I asked them theirs. This Quote book contains the same quotes along with my interpretation of each quote. As in the previous book you will have space to add your thoughts, as the exercise is for you to identify with a quotes, no matter what state you are in, and consider it’s relevance to the situation you face. Hence, your own thoughts and ability to evaluate your needs carries the weight. As you perform this exercise, of the mind more often, you will begin to develop confidence in your ability to call upon those that have gone before you, give consideration of your perspective and evaluate the outcome without blame or guilt or condemnation. The outcome is the outcome and we all learn from the experience. Painful or pleasurable, it is the ability to learn from other people’s experiences, (or more painfully our own) that opens the doors of possibilities and desire to move on.

These quotes are taken from people of different times, cultures, and nationalities with the same common denominators faced by all…how to address a situation you find yourself in that requires you to think and act differently in order to get the results you want? Read through and find the one(s) that bring you inspiration. The one(s) that give you a new perspective you did not think of. The one(s) that provide a way to deal with your challenge. Value the experience of others.
