Reading "the Baron Son" again

Image
I figure I am at a repeat point in my life. I feel a desire to go back and read some old books, see old movies, and talk with people who have impacted my life. I was recently reminded about this book called "The Baron Son" I read it years ago, and like all good books I passed it on (those on the Journey always pass on knowledge).

I also will continue to discuss some of the new products and books I have been purchasing to help on my Journey. So continue to check me out. Peace Nuff said
