Two weeks ago, my mother became a published author at 96 years young. One week ago, my father joined her at 98. On today's walk, I talk about carrying — the stories we hold for years before we set them down, and why the moment to set yours down is never behind you. Naomi Good by Gladys Duhart and The Joneses by Lyrie Duhart are both on Amazon now.

Today is Father's Day — and today my father, Lyrie Duhart, becomes a published author at 98 years young. In this episode I walk you through what it means to release a debut novel nearly a century into a life: the jazz years, the Army, the decades of work, and the story he carried the whole time. The Joneses is here. So is my mother's debut, Naomi Good. Two parents, two books, one family still standing. A Father's Day reflection on why it is never, ever too late to tell the story you were meant to tell.

Today is a glory day. My mother, Gladys Duhart, 96 years young, releases her debut novel — Naomi Good, a story of faith, family, and grace. The ebook is live on Amazon today. In this special launch-morning walk, I share what the book is really about: a woman who falls, refuses to let her past be the final word, and rises. The same gospel I preach on this walk every day. It is never too late. My mother is the proof. Walk with me, then go download the Naomi Good ebook — live today. Paperback and signed copies coming soon.

Two weeks out, and everything changes. On June 14, George's mother, Gladys Duhart, becomes a published author at 96 years young with her debut novel, Naomi Good. One week later, on Father's Day, June 21, his father, Lyrie Duhart - a jazzman who played with Ray Charles in 1943, an Army veteran, soon to turn 99 - releases his first book, The Joneses.

In this walk, George counts down to both launches and carries one truth: you are never too old, never too late, to begin the thing God placed in your heart. Two elders. Two debut books. One bloodline still standing.

Today is Mother's Day. Today my mom Gladys Duhart

becomes a published author at 96 years young.

Mom was born in 1930 in McComb, Mississippi. She

left at 18 for East Hartford, Connecticut. She

married my father Lyrie in 1950. They have been

married for over 75 years. They raised five

children.

A few years ago, mom was sitting in a nursing home

when she told me God spoke to her. He said she

had stories left to tell. So mom started talking.

I started writing. Page by page, a novel emerged.

The book is called Naomi Good. It is faith-based

fiction grounded in the real Mississippi mom

remembers. A Black woman in 1931 rural Mississippi

who refuses to disappear.

Today, on Mother's Day, the book is real.

In this episode, I share mom's story, the story

of Naomi Good, and the moment family came through

first when my cousin Karen reserved the very

first signed copy.

Mom is hand-signing the first 50 paperback copies

herself. When the 50 are gone, the signed edition

closes forever.

The bigger message for every Champion carrying a

story they haven't put on the page yet: the page

is still empty. You are still allowed to fill it.

📍 Ships within 14 days from Manchester, Connecticut

👵🏾 Limited to the first 50 readers, signed by

mom herself

The Kindle ebook publishes on Amazon this week.

The paperback follows shortly after.

Happy Mother's Day, mom. We love you.

Food for Thought. Fired Up. God Bless. Peace Out.

#WhileYouWalk

This week on Food for Thought While You Walk, Chef George K. Duhart

steps back from the recipes to talk about something that's been on

his heart all week.

Mom turned 96 this weekend. Dad is 98, turning 99 in September.

Both have stories that have lived inside them for decades. And

this year, both of those stories are becoming books.

In this episode, Chef George talks about stewardship. Stewardship

of money. Stewardship of food. And stewardship of story — the

currency that matters more than money. The wealth that disappears

when we don't capture it.

What story is your family carrying right now that needs to be

written down, recorded, or asked about? Don't wait. The time to

ask is now.

Food for Thought While You Walk.

Fired Up. God Bless. Peace Out.

— Chef George K. Duhart
