Manifesting Things is the first of many books I hope to publish in the near and distant future; it has been a work in progress for all my life, it seems. Its contents are drawn from a vast sea of spiritual, religious, philosophical, global, and personal sources. It is written in observance of unknown African ancestors, Jesus Christ, Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi, Florence Scovel Shinn, Minnie Riperton, Muhammad Ali, prophets, seers, mystics, and childbearers from all over the world. I don't claim to be the author, or originator, of any of its tenets; more or less a messenger - a teacher and a student at once - hoping only to benefit others by my successes....as well as my failures. While the book was written with African-American women in mind (simply because I am one and, naturally, think in terms of our particular concerns), my ideas are universal - intended for anyone willing to join me on this wondrous journey of the heart and creative mind. Between the book's 200+ pages, I am hoping to inspire ways to improve everyday life, promote spiritual connectivity, and maybe even change the world!
"McGlown, a New York City-based
jewelry designer/artist/writer, offers
up a hodgepodge of Christian, Muslim,
West African, and Eastern spiritual
traditions in her writings.....The prose
is nearly lyrical. I also like the fact
that she does not present herself as a “guru”; she freely admits to having
ongoing financial problems, crappy
relationships with men, and struggles
with single motherhood. Her candor is
refreshing in an age when self-proclaimed “spiritual leaders” all too
often present themselves as the end
all and be all of enlightened living.
And the cover art itself is worth the
price of the book."

Here's what readers had to say about The Omo Misha Times :-)
Hello Misha.
Just thought that I'd take a moment of my ever decreasing time to let you know how impressed I am by your writing style and content. I don't know of many people who can take the simple words and phrases we use every day and mold them into such an embellished work of art. Keep the good work up, and good luck with your book.
