Breakroom Blues, a fun and easy-to-read novel, beckons employers and recruiters to go beneath the surface of a job candidate's tailored resume, rehearsed interview, crafted smile and impressive handshake to seek the candidate's soul-true character. The philosophy employed is simple-once the candidate's soul is discovered, one can make better employment decisions that lead to heightened levels of success for organizations. PJ Pennington brilliantly seeks the soul of six characters using as the main setting the breakroom of a dysfunctional company. Each of the characters is employed by this company and demonstrates many of the employee behaviors we often see in real-life organizations. Breakroom Blues, a precursor to Breakroom Blues Exploratory Workbook and Journal, encourages us to look at our lives and examine our behavior especially when we are "on break"-away from work responsibilities or those we seek to impress. It is a call to continuously "workout" our thinking and conduct so that we keep ethically fit at all times and a reminder not to "rest on our laurels."

Do you remember the ecstasy of a first love, when every thought was filled with your beloved? The Inner Life of Love tells that story. But the captivating relationship involves humanity and the Divine mind. It tells the tales of the turbulence of discovery and ecstasy of remembrance while living in love with God. The photos (by the author) create metaphoric avenues for contemplation, while the words express the surrenders and struggles of a sacred relationship.

The Inner Life of Love invites the reader to join in a treasure hunt, as an active participant in this search for bliss. The book is reminiscent of psalms of love and skirmishes with spiritual antagonists. But always, it calls the reader back to consider love and compassion.

Are you always the person you claim you are? Honest, loyal, courageous, supportive, positive, ethical . you get the point. Or, are you guilty of: spreading lies, destructive gossip or vicious rumors? using your associations, position or job title to intimidate others? cheating on your timesheet? complaining about your organization and everyone, but you won't leave? stealing company's supplies? falsely pointing the finger to shift the blame away from you? taking credit for someone else's ideas or work? making excuses for failing to successfully complete an assignment? Any of these hit home? Ouch! You are what you behave! More than your spoken words, your behavior reveals who you really are. Your behavior drives your interactions with people and how they in turn respond to you. In short, your behavior helps determine your success in life. So, don't waste another second not being your best self!
