The second installment from S.L. Brown's Just a Thought series is a grittier reflection of the times in America and around the world. In Part One he continues where book one left off at the end of 2014. Here we find Sean tackling tough and often avoided subjects of race, equality, sexuality and more, in powerful, unique and thought-provoking ways. This section will challenge the reader's thinking and beliefs on the subjects in such a way it forces the reader to want to talk about it. Part One will take the reader on a journey.
Part Two of this book transitions to blogs that show the growth of a writer and motivator. This part returns us to the inspirational side of Sean's Thoughts as he shares his thoughts in the forms of blogs. These blogs, like the passages in Part One, are life lessons for others as well as for himself. Part Two will take the reader on a wider range journey of life's contemplations.
Part Three brings the reader back to inspirational Sean. Here he opens the doors of of imagination and wonderment as he shares pictures and motivational messages and passages. Images he has taken with his cellphone during his travels are shared with small messages, poems and thoughts. If Part One was gritty, Part Two was deep, then Part Three is the soft and easy relaxation of the journey. No better way to finish it off than a few stunning pictures.
There it is in a nuttshell. Just a Thought, Too dares you, the reader, to think and to have conversations about what you believe, what you understand and what you don't know about the world. It is made to inspire discussion and to fire up thought and thinking in each of us. It is up to you how that journey is taken. The tag-line for book one will work for book two as well:
"It'll make you think. Open it!"
Now onto, Just a Thought, Too!
Brown, S. L.: - In 1993, this Los Angeles native took his talents to Texas, Colorado, England, Korea and Washington State as a member of the US Air Force. After being medically retired from the Air Force he found his way into the Naval Reserves where he spent 10 years in San Diego. In 2015, almost 22 years from the day he headed into the military, Sean retired. The Iraq and Afghanistan War veteran hung up his boots and pursued a career in dance fitness and wellness coaching. It is in these ventures that Sean realized he had a gift of reaching people through his down-to-earth realistic approach to life and fitness. He began writing inspirational messages on his Inspiration with Sean Puffy Brown Facebook page. As his following grew, Sean had one more big step to make which he completed on Mother's Day in 2017. With the help of his good friend, he self-published his book of thoughts titled Just A Thought. Within a year of publication Sean had been interviewed on public access television and on internet television for his story, his messages and his thoughts. The feather in the cap, to date, was the inclusion of Just a Thought in South Kitsap High School's Reading Seminar class. Sean's messages were not only reaching adults but teens as well. Continuing to grow as an author, motivator and speaker Sean finds himself publishing book two of his series titled Just a Thought, Too. Starting off where the last one ended it is safe to bet that this too will be a great read. Only time will tell for sure.
