Book Description
I wrote this book at the start of the Global Pandemic, back in March of 2020. The world shut down. Schools shut down. Students everywhere were sent home. As a second grade teacher, I was sent home without a chance to say goodbye to my "kids." We tried our best to put together some semblance of normalcy with continuous virtual learning with virtually no training or expertise. I did this all while staying home with my husband and three young daughters. We were grieving in all kinds of ways for the loss of human lives as well as the loss of what was. In the midst of all the pain and unknown and constant state of panic, I tapped into my love and connection to the healing powers of nature to bring balance and harmony to our family. I also recorded videos of our outdoor adventures and shared them with my students. We were living history and I didn't want anyone to miss out. I truly felt that getting outside and exploring was (and still is) far more beneficial than any work I assigned in the digital landscape.During this time of isolation, my husband and I brought our girls to new rivers and rapids, waterfalls, and wonders in the woods. The lessons we collectively learned during our time together made us stronger and wiser. Perhaps one of the greatest lessons being the simple yet profound truth that Nature is our most cherished gift and wisest teacher. There are numerous changes and transformations that occurred during this extraordinarily difficult time that we must hold on to as we continue to evolve and live our individual yet intricately connected lives. Like really living, understanding, and appreciating the benefits of slowing down, lightening our loads, giving thanks for the little things, spending quality time with family, seeking help when we're not okay physically, mentally, or spiritually, being of service, and the healing power of human touch and spending time outdoors in Nature. What lessons has nature taught you?

Book Description
"Courage on Bataan and Beyond" is a comprehensive story about Abel F. Ortega's life during the Bataan Death March and Japanese imprisonment written by his son. Abel will take the reader with him from his childhood days when he would sit in a rocking chair and dream about the Far East to defending the Bataan Peninsula in a last ditch effort to keep the Japanese from taking the Philippines. Abel narrates how his family's prayers and his faith in God helped him to survive the infamous Bataan Death March, three-and-a-half years as a POW and two Hell Ship Voyages. This book will evoke both laughter and tears as one follows Abel from captivity to liberation. In his three-and-a-half years as a POW, he endured near starvation, hard labor, torture and the indescribable and inhumane cruelty from his captors before being set free August 15th, 1945. There were very few POW's who survived the Japanese brutality of Bataan and their following captivity, and of these, not many are still with us. Today at 85, Abel feels his story needs to be told so that the brave soldiers of Bataan will not be forgotten once again.
