Author, actor, designer and motivational speaker Clay Rivers has recently published his third book.
It’s called 3 Things I Know – Facing and Embracing Life’s Challenges.
There is no question we all face challenges, but for most of us, if we are lucky they come and go, ebb and flow. But Clay was born with several challenges that he has walks gallantly through life with.
This quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is one of my favorites because it not only resonates with black Americans’ fight for Civil Rights in the 1960s, but on a universal level it speaks to the human struggle of accepting one’s self while holding fast to dreams and abilities in the face of doubt and hubris, and humbly offering it all to the Creator for the fulfillment of his purpose.
Yesterday I asked my Twitter friend and member of the Johns Hopkins literati, Kim, for some ideas about getting reviews for my new book, 3 Things I Know.

I followed her lead and prepared the query letter for book she recommended.
I don’t know about you, but I was glad to bid 2015 a fond “GTFO!” Mind you, I’m thrilled to have witnessed all of 2015, but still . . . despite its blessings, 2015 left a lot to be desired.
One of the top five worst ways to handle life’s challenges. Explore the pitfalls of this tactic and discover better coping skills in my book, 3 Things I Know: Facing and Embracing Life’s Challenges.
Hey Clay,
Back in the year 2001, I was in a sales position working with many Independently owned stores. In sales you build relationships with your customers and learn a lot about each other. I had a good amount stores owned or ran by families from the Middle East.
Then 9/11 happened.
Everybody’s got their “something.” What’s yours?
And we’re back! Thanks for your support in 2015. You made #HeyClay a huge success last year. You’d be surprised how many people were facing similar situations to the ones mentioned in the posts. You’d be even more surprised to find out how many people were helped in facing and embracing their challenges.
