Author Sally Gerth lost both her husband and only child within a two-year span. With this double blow came a “new normal” and many decisions. Sally could either “sit it out” or “dance” into the future—a metaphor for the choices we make as we cope with grief.   People wonder how she bears it, and the answer is: She chooses to dance! Her poignant, funny, and gung-ho journey is both a tribute to her departed family members and a resource for those facing the most challenging life and death scenarios. It hasn’t been easy. She shares insights into a perfectly imperfect marriage haunted by a mistress named “alcohol,” and her husband’s life-changing recovery. Written from a mother’s perspective, Sally celebrates her “carbon copy”—a son who lit up her world and produced her wonderful grandchildren. Suddenly both her husband and son were gone. Now what?  Refusing to be a victim, Sally honors Lou and Michael by living the life they would want for her, a life full of “Bucket List” moments and new adventures. Sally chronicles the steps she took to blossom into the woman she is today. “My best friends weighed in and pre-eulogized me,” says Sally of this collaborative memoir. “But the true mission of Sit It Out Or Dance is to help others heal.”   A sprinkling of faith, a dose of chutzpah and a positive mindset fill the pages. This must-read book is a testament that you, too, can find joy after deep loss. Follow along at www.sallygerth.com. The book is a wonderful resource for anyone facing the unthinkable.

The End Game will look at Sports from four quadrants. When properly executed these four quadrants will provide whole person development and a bridge to your success in all aspects of your life. The four quadrants are "The REason” we play sports and why sports exist, “The REsponsibility” of all parties involved and how and why they are charged to impact the development of those playing sports, “The REality” of a career in sports and “The REwards” that one should strive to achieve when participating in sports. Bo Porter’s book The End Game will analyze what REal Excellence looks like and the results of those that master “The End Game”. When you finish reading The End Game I hope you also gain a better understanding of how you, too, can give back and make a difference like Bo Porter has over the years.

The Pettis Norman Story: A Journey Through the Cotton Fields, to the Super Bowl, and into Servant Leadership

Imagine sitting down with an old-school Dallas Cowboy and hearing tales about the early days — the plays, the teammates, Coach Landry, the Ice Bowl, Super Bowl V, and much more. Then imagine if other players weighed in and gave you an insider view from the field.\nTHIS is precisely what you can expect in Pettis Norman’s autobiography, filled with stories that capture the blood, sweat, and tears that built a legacy on and off the field. Beyond football, Pettis didn’t rest on his laurels or sit idly by during the Civil Rights Movement. He wasn’t a bystander during the tense decades of the ‘70s and ‘80s when race relations dominated our country. Rather, Pettis was a navigator –– the North Star –– who forged political alliances with U.S. Presidents and emerged as an altruistic leader pioneering ground-breaking initiatives in Dallas that serve as models across the nation.\nUntold philanthropies and organizations welcomed him to their boards. His businesses were successful, and he never failed to help others by sharing his entrepreneurial spirit along the way. Pettis was involved — sometimes a lone voice of reason. A trusted voice. People listened and the community is better for it.\nFrom the cotton fields of his youth to the academic halls of North Carolina and the skyscrapers of Dallas, Pettis Norman’s journey is filled with love and loss, inspirational coaches and mentors, and a sense of duty that transcends multiple challenges. He begins life on a big stage and selflessly takes us by the hand and leads us through each era, teaching us so that history won’t repeat itself.\nHis greatest dream? That we can all achieve the oneness, the goodness, that we as a people deserve.
