Sample Chapters & Links – My Blog Series
Though each digital outlet usually has a preview capability, what is previewed to the reader varies tremendously.
Some outlets have pre-determined unalterable percents, and some allow the writer to set the percent, which then is passed on to where the book is distributed. But even then, the receiving retailer may have their own set limits.
What I want to be able to present to a reader, is at least 10% of the actual content.
Of the story. Or photo-memoir. Or photography. Or poetry.
This new series on my site allows me that.

Everyday Gratitude
Vol 1
© Felipe Adan Lerma
One
made a call to my
ancient-to-be
mom
who at 84 1/2
is so thankful we’re thankful
too
may i be as alive at 84 and one half as she is now
got calls from the kids
calls completing
the circles
it’s thanksgiving
for my wife and i
and
our little circles of circles
ringing the holidays
and for that
i am grateful…
*
Two
we wondered down to the tree lighting
with the families young and old
carriages and canes
into the town’s downtown
bundled like newborns
gifted with boots
wraps caps and
gloves –
the coffee at the market we
paused
in…
hot tasty with mocha
yet most grateful
am i
for
able-ness
eating
my
bagel
organic with seeds warm with scents
what a blessing chewing
enjoying to eat
*
Three
time
spent in a cool winter
sun –
time
spent wandering
among the chores
like children
caught
in a tools-delight
unaware
chores
are
more often
less enchanting
but grateful
for these
bits of ignorance
slips of knowledge
our sifts of living
with those we love

Note: Things digital seem to be changing more each day (vs settling down), and some online outlets have had sporadic problems with downloads, links, and accessibility. In addition, as events evolve, it may have become necessary for me to either remove an outlet, or settle on just one I can depend on.
If all else fails, please contact me for availability : yoga (dot) adan (at) gmail (dot) com .
