Nicky Bell, diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma at age thirteen, died five years later, with his mother and best friend at his side. A Journey of Unconditional Love tells Nicky and Michele’s story, describing the battle with cancer in great detail. However, this book is about more than cancer and its treatment and the fight to survive. It’s about more than a mother and her son who had to face his mortality at such a young age and the despair and anguish that comes in losing that fight. It’s about more than death . . . This book is about life. It’s about how this mother and son approached the everyday moments of life despite the greater story that was playing out around them and was outside of their control. It’s about what each had learned from the other and the influential roles played in their life experiences. It is about how it still affects the life of the one left behind. It’s about the depth of human spirit and the soul’s ultimate survival, along with what the survivor is supposed to do with that energy. The connection between this mother and her son has lived on long after his passing, and it continues to be a force in this mother’s life every day. The inspiration in this story comes from the millions of small everyday moments, the choices made, the words spoken, and the unconditional love that makes such a seemingly senseless experience somehow bearable. This book gives a voice to parents and loved ones, caregivers and patients, those who relate to this loss, and those who know they feel every heartbeat in this story but who also struggle to come to grips with their own experience.

This is a sequel to my first book, The Book of John (Not the One in the Bible), A Memoir of Addiction and Recovery. Released on May 19, 2019 it went to number one in the New Release Substance Abuse category. In that book, I describe my life and the techniques I use to to improve my spiritual condition through all my "trials and tribulations." Everything happens for a reason and that reason is to experience life and grow spiritually. This is a never ending process, even when we transition after "death." There are many mansions (dimensions) in Heaven. We never really die, we just leave these magnificent biological units to continue our journey on different planes and dimensions or come back to Earth to play some more. The body is the biological software operated and programmed by the soul or Eternal Being of Who We Really are. We are Eternal Beings experiencing life in all its different forms and realities to experience emotions, learn compassion, truth, joy, happiness, etc. The good, the bad, and the ugly. This is a true love story literally from beyond this world! This is "the rest of the story" and the journey to unconditional love. It is bizarre, surreal, and profound all at the same time. Very few people will believe how this unfolded. Without knowing, at the time, everything was orchestrated perfectly and with Divine guidance from the spirit world, our Higher Selves, and a plan that was conceived prior to our entry into these biological units we co-created. A lot of you have heard about soul mates and not a lot about Twin Flames. This is about my Twin Flame, which is usually the path to awakening to a deeper understanding of Universal truths, which all lead to unconditional love. That's Who we are eternally. Get ready to take a journey, in real time, to the greatest love story ever told. What if? We are all just playing a role in this lifetime? That we chose the plan and how it was going to play out in order to learn or experience certain things? What if? The people that come into our lives to play the "villain" actually chose to do this for our greatest and highest spiritual growth. What if?/p> The people in your life that caused the most suffering and turmoil actually gave you the greatest gift imaginable. The gift to move beyond suffering and elevate your consciousness to a whole new level of existence. To rise from the ashes like a Phoenix. So then, who is there to forgive? How can you blame anyone or have a resentment if you agreed to everything on a soul level? What if?
