About the Book

An uplifting "story" in poetry that reminds us to be comfortable with the decisions we make in enjoying life to the fullest.If a doctor gave you (and could really give you) 2 months to live, what would you do? Would you put together a list of people, places and things to see before your 60 days are up? Then have to do it all over again for another 60 days because you are the exception to the rule... or perhaps you'd not make it to the second day on your list...?A doctor cannot 'give' you time.But, hey... one thing they're right about is that one day each of us is not going to be here physically. Get over it!!! So why not start and restart celebrating your list now?You see, we often get caught up in the headlines of doom and miss the subtitles of success. This book's subtitle is "A Celebration of Life." It's not about dying... it's about living. You'll hit the ground running right after reading the last four lines of the title poem: I found out I'm dyingAnd that I have been since Day #1So I spend little time regretting my lifeBecause I'd rather spend the time having fun.Sporty King is a Motivational Speaker who has used his gift of poetic expression to inspire audiences of all ages, ethnicities and genders for over a quarter of a century. King guides you through the book by 'discussing' the inspiration behind, and use for each poem for practical application toward sharing this gift of life
About the Author: Sporty King, ACS/CL, The Master of Listening... is a native of Harlem, in New York City. He started writing poetry in 1969 to combat homesickness. Having won an ABC (A Better Chance) Scholarship, he went away to private high school in Massachusetts. During his first year he was one of seven blacks in a student population of 200+... second year 1 of 5... 3rd year 1 of 3.... His poetry started out somewhat militant, but with an introspective base of seeking to understand rather than perpetuate. King began his 18-year career at The Wall Street Journal in January 1975 as a messenger. While at the Journal, he began sharing his poetry at the department Christmas party. Sporty wrote poetry that would get each person in the department's name into the poem. It became the highlight of the party, and heads of other departments began seeking invitation to his department's party. He served his final 6 years at the Journal as Midwest Region Classified Advertising Sales Manager, before retiring to pursue his oratorical gift. In July 2010 he relocated to Charlotte, NC and has continued sharing his gift for saving lives through his contract with the Urban League, facilitating a Life Skills Training Program. Sporty is an accomplished member of Toastmasters International, having earned the designations ACS, CL (Advanced Communicator Silver, Competent Leader) and in 1996 finished as one of the Top 9 speakers in the world at the International Speech Contest. Among King's media appearances are ABC/TV's "Someone You Should Know" news segment; and weekly on WGN/TV's nationally syndicated Minority Business Report, delivering inspirational messages about business and life. In January 2011 he began working with the Cadre of Speakers... facilitators available to Military Service Members through the Yellow Ribbon Program (YRP). YRP weekends serve pre, during and post deployment Service Members and their families to keep their bond strong as they keep America strong. Seminars are scheduled for the families and are held in multiple locations every weekend throughout the country. He is a member of AATH, an organization that believes in the healing power of laughter. An expert on personal success, the impact of words in our lives, and turning any negative into a positive, Sporty is the author of 5 books: I Found Out I'm Dying: A Celebration of Life; Do You Have Any Idea... How Fine You Are?; StartingToday...; Your Name Came To Mind; and Morning... Noon... & Night...
