Read the first few pages of the book, or browse the reviews and find out who compared it to Orwell's 1984 and why reading this will leave you both shaken and stirred.  Check it out at www.seedsofgerminationortermination.com

A

 dream is a seed.  What we do with that seed is a choice—a choice of germination or termination—a choice we make that is reflected in our every action, every second, every breath.

...and so the story starts.

People ask me from time to time how I stay positive and maintain my positive energy in a world that seems to fall to pieces.  My answer is always the same.  It is not important what we do, but rather that we do something.  The world is not going to change overnight. That most needed change is as vast as the ocean.  Many people feel overwhelmed by this realization, but I encourage you all to find comfort in taking those steps that are within your power, small or big.  What is important is that we all move forward, one step at a time. Ultimately the ocean is the sum of googles of little raindrops. Each one of us has the power to be a little raindrop of change. A lot of little raindrops make a very mighty ocean! 

Many people have been deeply affected by In the Eyes of Anahita.  The feedback I have received and the life changing stories I have heard have been overwhelming.  Afterall, I just wanted to make the reader think about certain things.  Stories certainly do change lives and that is why it is so important to share them.  Here is just one example of how after reading In the Eyes of Anahita one young woman decided to become a raindrop of change:

Together with a group of committed people we started SHI - Canada.  We are currently awaiting our charity status in Canada.  As soon as we can provide tax receipts for donations we will start fundraising for our exciting projects in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua, Belize and El Salvador.  You can check it out at www.sustainableharvest.org.
