Greetings Loved Ones, 

It's Yazzie here. God had revealed to me the vision for this first book a few years ago. As the years passed, the Spirit would reveal to me specific details such as the dedication, the chapters, the content, the cover and the book title (inspired by a well-known gospel song my mentor Patrick Ellis would play every Sunday on the radio). God also placed all the people I needed in my life to make this possible, but I need my community's help to fund the production process -the editing/manuscript review, publishing package, paperback printing, etc. Any amount will be most helpful. Most of the time when someone publishes a book, they present it as the final product, but my entire life story and work has been a result of community and collective efforts. If I had the money to do it myself, I certainly would. This is one of those times where I must call upon my tribe, and my beloved community. 

I am so beyond thankful to present my God-inspired, passion-packed and emotion-filled offering up to you -that my pain, and hard lessons may be used to your and your millennial and Gen Z children's benefit. You will laugh, you will sigh, and you will cry tears of sorrow and tears of joy and feel refreshed, inspired and encouraged. Take a look at the questions below to get a better idea of some of the topics I will cover through my dynamic life story. You think you know -but you have no idea lol! Thank you as always for your support and kindness towards me. I pray that your donation be multiplied and returned to you tenfold. 

Have any events in your life ever left you feeling hurt, devastated, depressed or confused? Have you ever had the desire to overcome doubt and fear to do something you’ve never done before, but you just don’t know where to start? Have you ever felt underqualified to do something you know you want and need to do, but continue to procrastinate? Have you ever asked, Lord why me?

Have you ever had sleepless nights because of hurt or because of a vision that won’t allow you to sleep? Have you ever been insecure about your body and felt less deserving of love or accolades because of it? Have you ever been sexually abused and felt anger, sad, depressed or insecure and are trying to process it, heal, restore your trust and move on with your life in a healthy way? Do you need to find the courage to walk away from an abusive or deceitful relationship? Have you ever struggled with an eating disorder?

Do you want and need some real life, tangible examples of what mobilizing Christian faith looks like? Are you seeking to find meaning in life or of life? Have you ever wanted to start a nonprofit or your own business? Have you ever wanted to travel abroad, but haven’t done so yet?

Have you ever dealt with parental incarceration and felt guilt or shame about it, like you are the only one? Have you ever faced self-identity issues, insecurities or cultural discrimination?

Have you ever dealt with financial difficulty? Are you a millennial or Gen Zer who wants some inspiration in the form of juicy tea? Do you want a new book for your book club or class to read, engage and analyze? Do you want to build up your personal brand or tap into your purpose, but you don’t quite know how or where to start? Do you have children or teenage children who seem to be living recklessly/aimlessly, or feel as though they need some direction or motivation? Do you want an easy, fun read with a roller coaster of emotions and events?

If you answered ‘YES’ to ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS, then THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU! Welcome to the Rough Side of the Mountain -to be released in 2018! 

With Love and Sincere Gratitude,
