Once Upon A Season

Strangers don't come to Storybrooke. The town's residents are victims of a curse--trapped by an Evil Queen in a world without magic, they don't remember that they were once Snow White, Prince Charming, Jiminy Cricket, and other characters from a fairytale world. The curse keeps them in Storybrooke, and keeps everyone else out...until a dark stranger with a typewriter arrives on a motorcycle. August, the mysterious newcomer, claims to be in Storybrooke because, as a writer, the town inspires him. As the other characters discover, though, he knows more about fairytales than he lets on. With one foot in the nonmagical world, one foot in fairytale land, and both hands on a typewriter, August is the perfect narrator to tell fans the story of ONCE UPON A TIME's first season and ready them for a surprise in the next.

The course of our lives is often predetermined by our family and cultural mindsets. Traditionally humans seem to follow the edicts of current and historic thought even though many cultural ideas prove to be unreliable across history. Do things change or, were we wrong about a number of ideas from the beginning? We can change attitudes and consequently influence our personal future. We can cultivate our intuition and create new possibilities for ourselves. Some people create misfortune without even knowing it! Success for them becomes a fantasy that never seems to materialize because certain choices were made without accurate perceptions or reflection. This accounts for many people becoming compliant and disappointed. Even overwhelmed. Some decisions are made out of habit and the same routines abet certain people in overlooking the possibilities that could begin a new and exciting future. This book details information on the individual aspects of success and is a unique approach to understanding how history and our environment can help us or hinder us. This work outlines a system of success that has proved effective for Americans competing in the workforce or struggling with life’s personal challenges. The book also contains historical facts regarding humanity and the previous thinking of our ancestors that brought us to the present. Not all of their thinking was healthy or productive. In this current season of human existence many people have become swayed by misinformation and so, I have chosen politics and religion as examples of how age-old thinking can bring about unintended but large-scale consequences. Even our chosen official’s minds loiter in outdated and inefficient thinking which fatigues their brains thus, not assisting them in assisting us! Everyone seems to embrace their own version of the truth however this habit can be costly when that truth turns out to be inaccurate. As separate assemblies of peoples we have gone against nature in creating many differing, even conflicting truths that have caused divisiveness among people that does not have to influence our interactions in destructive ways. Perhaps its time for us as a species to embrace the wisdom that has been our inheritance since the time of our own invention. I hope my words will do their part in bringing us back together as was the original intention of our creation.
