TEXT content: (Writing Guidelines: Multicultural, pluralistic with in United State republican (governing by representation) democracy (living in freedom of expression within a society using agreed upon principles for each and every person) and which means: be patriotic! Keeping in mind the season, holidays (religious and secular), emotional variations for the time of year. Reading level: high school (tenth grade). Spiritual principles levels: middle school to university.

Curriculum guidelines:

1. Re-teach principles of life: Using the principles taught by Thomas Franklin Hart I in his website www.successseriesllc.com. “Everything I needed to learn I learned in Kindergarten” (Good hygiene, good manners (Thanksgiving), good vocabulary (as if God were listening- and He is!); making good food choices (your natural healthy body); minding your own business (personal boundaries: space needs, yours and others, how are you an individual from others: what makes you: you ); your clothing matters (Yes! Dress for Success!); discovering your health with routine exercise (Natural fitness); you are a valuable (Saving and Tithing), being a mighty creation with a Purpose in life (Be Big in your smallness); finding the courage to be alone and separated from loved ones (Discover His Presence); making new friends (or not); being able to allow others to be their-self (more personal boundaries); finding your voice (you can sing! Sing!); what does it mean to be a citizen of the United States of America (USA)?(How is the USA different from other countries in a quickly globalizing multicultural pluralistic world?)

1. Write the book in four sections according to seasonal influences:

Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.

1. Teach outdoor awareness (basic outdoor survival) and seasonal influences upon homelessness. (REI is your best friend.)

1. Teach seasonal variations influencing benevolence (all is grace, expect nothing). Thanksgiving.

1. List universal principles of spiritual recovery (universal spiritual awakening principals). Thanksgiving. Developing intimacy, what to expect and not to expect (all is grace). Friendship within a transient population (what is friendship, four types of love, the road blocks and realistic expectations), what to expect and not to expect, making choices for yourself: how to prevent some heartbreak and emotional loss, putting on the spiritual armor (recognizing the spiritual warrior within that you were created to be); developing a sense of joy from recognizing the abundance and grace that abound in your life every moment: Being here now). Spiritual consequences of not honoring your soul spirit and higher power.

1. Teach theology of the human body (awareness and seasonal healing). Listening to your body. Taking five: Thanksgiving for every part of your body every day. Recognize your body belongs to a higher power and your higher power is fighting for your good. Your body seeks health. Your body and your environment are connected. Your higher power uses your body to bring you into full spiritual maturity. Your physical body has needs, stages (phases) of life, and materially communicates with the physical universe. Your physical and spiritual body are one. Honoring your physical body’s needs. Consequences of not honoring your physical body’s needs.

1. Teach homeless survival: where to find resources; how to find or create a source of income (church resources, creating your own business guidelines, government assistance).
