 Both A Template For The Tourist and/or A Prospective Relocatee, April 25, 2015
Moon Virginia Including Washington D.C. by Michaela Riva Gaaserud caught my attention due to the shared agreement between my husband and I to eventually permanently settle in Virginia regardless of whether we are employed in the private sector or the government sector. However, I’m going to avoid saying more about the timeline when this would happen out of consideration for first finalizing my plans with the people in my life (such as my husband, mother-in-law other concerned people in my life etc and practical considerations (giving at least 2-3 weeks notice to employers, time needed to plan the relocation ect). I like this book because it features various parts of Virginia such as the cities in northern Virginia; Arlington, Old Town Alexandria and the nearby areas, Fairfax county, Loudon county etc. Then there are other areas covered such as Williamsburg, Hampton Roads, Newport News, Virginia Beach etc. The Alexandria Film Festival(page 102), The Lighted Boat Parade (Page 181), and The Blue Ridge Parkway (page 294) are some of the multiple features discussed in Moon Virginia Including Washington D.C.

More Than Ten Things To Like About This Movie, April 25, 2015
Suprisingly, I unexpectedly came across this dvd of 10 Things I Hate About You at my Walmart job after searching for another dvd. For some reason, I felt drawn to this movie even though I obviously graduated from high school quite some time ago (class of 2000). There are multiple celebrities attached to this film (information available online from both wiki and the Internet movie database) and the movie centers around a popular and charismatic female named Bianca Stratford (Larisa Oleynik, I remember here from the Alex Mack episodes I watched as a teenager) who is sought after by Cameron James (Joseph Gordon Levitt) and an equally popular and wealthy student named Joey Donner (Andrew Keegan). Bianca’s sister Kat ends up getting drawn into this soap opera and is chased after a fellow student named Patrick Verona (the late acclaimed Heath Ledger) thanks to the calculated string pulling by Cameron James, his friend Michael Eckman (David Krumholtz) and Joey Donner. Gabrielle Union and Allison Janney are also some of the multiple celebrities featured in this film that I also recognized (online sources credit being the Mary Jane tv series to Union and Janney to the Masters of Sex tv series). The dvd comes with the following movie trailers; When In Rome, Extract, and 10 Things I Hate About You tv series. This dvd feature film also includes the other listed bonus features; 10 Things I Hate About You 10 Years Later, Exclusive Footage, and Filmmaker as well as Cast Audio commentary. Some of the multiple things I loved about this movie 10 Things I Hate About You; The indie rock music featured in the film that the character of Kat (Julie Stiles) is seen enjoying, the various fun songs featured in this film (Push It by Salt N Pepa, Hold Me Now song by Thompson Twins, Sexy Boy by Air etc), and a compelling quote by that Heath Ledger’s Veronica character is seen quoting in the film. The motivational and memorable quote referenced in this movie is “Don’t Let Anyone Make You Feel Like You Don’t Deserve What You Want.” I say this because I truly feel that this insightful quote can apply to various aims in a person’s life (career goals, where a person wants to live, other personal goals etc.) even though the Verona character (Heath Ledger) was actually saying this as encouragement to Cameron James . Last, but not least, the various Shakespeare references unexpectedly encouraged me to look into attending some plays/theater in the future (fortunately, I figured out how I can attend at least one play every 3-4 months at a minimum). Overall, these are some of the various reasons why I found the five dollar purchase of !0 Things I Hate About You to be a bargain for an uplifting and heartwarming movie.

Stone Temples Midwest Concert, April 25, 2015
I admit that I purchased this Stone Temple pilots dvd of Stone Temple Pilots Alive In The Windy City on April 9, 2015. However, I have previously been familiar with the music of Stone Temple Pilots for quite some time due to the fact that a family member generously gifted me with the Tiny Music Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop by Stone Temple Pilots around the time I was 16 years old. Additionally, the alternative rock station I frequently listened to from the time I was around 14 until I was 19 (radio station Q101 that was based out of Chicago, Illinois until I moved away after enlisting in the U.S. navy in 2000)often played various songs by Stone Temple Pilots. I even purchased and reviewed the Thank You cd on September 13, 2009 after coming across STP greatest hits compilation in a local Orlando Florida library a couple miles from the University of Central Florida (I left the review on the Amazon UK website). Purchasing this dvd is well worth is because the band’s music harmonizes well with Scot Weiland’s vocals in the concert performance. With this said, I also enjoy music by Linkin Park and have even purchased their recent Hunting Party cd at my job over six months ago. I’m well aware I may get some unhelpful votes for this because it is not a popular sentiment. However, using the name of Stone Temple Pilots without Scott Weiland’s powerful music vocals is akin to taking Mike Shinoda or Chester Bennington out of Linkin Park and still calling them Linkin Park. Back to the dvd set, many of the classic hits by Stone Temple Pilots are included on this dvd; Vasoline, Wicked Garden, Big Empty, Sour Girl, Creep, Plush, Interstate Love Song etc. (18 songs). My favorite songs cd wise from Stone Temple Pilots are Wicked Garden, Plush, and Vaseline. The band gave their best unified performance in this dvd concert edition and I would have to say that these were some of my favorite performances concert wise even though the songs have a melancholy tune; Sour Girl, Interstate Love Song, Dead and Bloated, and Trippin On A Hole In a Paper Heart (which is also the closing song on the concert dvd). There is also a bonus feature of an interview with STP.

Honey Flavored Cheese Curls, April 25, 2015
I can’t blame others for laughing about this, but I admit to have already purchased at least six bags of Herr’s Honey cheese curls from my job even though I first spotted the 8.5 ounce bags of Herr’s Honey cheese curls at my job less than four weeks ago. The honey taste on the Herr’s cheese curls has the right amount of sweetness without being too overpowering. A coworker mentioned to me how he has enjoyed these cheese curls since he was a kid so at least I’m not the only one at my job who enjoys these Herr’s honey cheese curls.

Lemon Themed Oreos, April 25, 2015
These Lemon Creme Oreos (a package of 15.25 ounces) are another find from my job. The lemon crème has a balanced hint of citrus without being too sweet. Additionally, these cookies are also good for a person in your life who likes oreos and is willing to try the different flavor spectrum of oreo cookies (I have known about oreo kids since my childhood, but I admit my husband’s predilection for oreo cookies, among some of his favorite cookies, are what have indirectly influenced me to more recently purchase some of the different flavor oreos offered).

Novelty Pineapple Salsa, April 25, 2015
I spotted a sixteen ounce jar of Newman’s Own pineapple salsa at my job due to my previous enjoyment of pineapple salsas (I admit that I remember first trying pineapple flavored salsa back in 2010). Anyhow this Newman’s Own pineapple salsa has the right mix of pineapple and tomato elements. I have tried this salsa with doritos (with appetizing results), and this Newman’s Own pineapple salsa also pairs well with Tostito Lime chips.

Ginger and Lemon Combine Very Well For This Jelly Preserve, April 25, 2015
My predilection towards peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as an inexpensive treat influenced me to purchase this 12 ounce jar of Mackay’s Ginger preserve from my job. The hints of ginger and lemon are mixed together well in this jelly. The unique taste ofMackay’s Ginger preserve makes it good as a standalone topping for bread as well.

Quenching Water With A Cherry Kick, April 25, 2015
The 20 ounce bottles of Everfresh Clear Fruit cherry blast flavored water allows me to quench my thirst at times when I’m craving water with enhanced flavor. I also enjoy that the Everfresh Clear Fruit cherry blast water allows me to taste the water free of a pleasant aftertaste. The only catch is that I’m considering the option of ordering this brand and flavor of water online because it is frequently out of stock in one the stores near me that frequently carries it.

A Heart’s Description, April 25, 2015
I’m charmed to have found out about Ghost Town by Adam Lambert due to finding out about it in one of my e-mails (I’m a voluntary subscriber to his e-mail list). Anyhow, this single of Ghost Town by Adam Lambert is not to be confused with Madonna’s Ghost Town song (which is also good). Madonna’s Ghost Town anthem deals with true love between two people regardless of external circumstances that would test even the strongest couples (such as financial tests, what is happening in their external world etc). Adam Lambert’s Ghost Town plays with the idea of his heart being like a ghost town and blends the theme of western themed music, hints of rock, as well as dance with original results. For this reason, I would recommend Ghost Town by Adam Lambert for those who are open-minded towards music mashups and music artists who like to experiment with their music.

A Chillout/Synth Pop Love Song?, April 25, 2015
I have recently heard Cherry Blossom Girl by Air on iheart’s Ambient radio. However, I’m fortunate to have also been previously exposed to this song back around 2005/2006 via Yahoo music radio. This song appears to be about being in love with someone you met that either enjoys cherry blossoms or with whom you first spotted cherry blossoms with. Either way, Cherry Blossom Girl by Air is great for those who like synth pop and/or chillout songs.

Rock Song Pondering The Meaning of Life, April 25, 2015
Believe by Bravery is played on one of the local radio stations where I currently reside and I still enjoy this song each time I hear it. The first time I remember hearing this song was back around 2008 when I was living in Norfolk Virginia and I was ironically pondering about what to do with my life while relaxing in a car that I enjoyed and owned. Anyhow, I say ironically because this rock song brilliantly appears to deals with the singer mentioning about the feeling of going through life with something to believe in and basically wanting more out of their life than to just simply go through the motions of living and breathing. Regardless, Believe by Bravery is a meaningful and a thinking type of rock song.

Living Life With Intensity and Zeal Song?, April 25, 2015
Lampshades on Fire by Modest Mouse caught my attention because of my previous familiarity with their Float On song. Additionally, I’m lucky to be able to enjoy this song due to hearing it on the radio, iheartradio, and Pandora radio (however, lampshades on fire by Modest Mouse is one of those songs that I actually like more each time I listen to it). Anyhow, I’m only guessing the meaning (due to the fact that I have not yet looked up the meaning online) but I’m guessing that this song is about taking in and enjoying life (due to the mention of a party in this song). Obviously, I’m full aware that the meaning could be something else. Either way, Lampshades on Fire by Modest Mouse is perfect for those who like rock and/or indie rock songs.

A Brief Yet Content Packed Hampton Roads Area Guide, March 19, 2015
I must preface this book review of Moon Spotlight Coastal Virginia (Including Colonial Williamsburg) by Michaela Rivera Gaaserud via mentioning that my interest in looking into living in various places across the U.S. is independent from the fact that both my husband and I have mutually agreed on following our shared intent to settle/reside in the Washington D.C. area together by the time we are both in our 60’s (preferably traditional employment as my first choice until at least my mid 50’s, and self-employment after age 58 or later if spiritually up to me). I say spiritually up to me because I’m humbly aware that many men and women are sometimes forced to fend for themselves via self-employment (for a myriad of reasons) due to the competitive employment market even for minimum wage/private sector jobs(such as the case in the Washington D.C. area). We (my husband and I) both actually enjoy living in the Washington D.C. area and a long distance marriage would only be our last resort (due to economic necessity). I prefer to avoid publicly sharing our various reasons why, but I obviously intend to keep the longevity of my marriage in mind when weighing a relocation and/or career decision and must avoid saying anything further out of consideration for my husband, mother-in-law, allowing ample time to notify my employer, any concerned friends, any concerned family members etc. Information on Williamsburg and The Historic Triangle is found on pages 26-27 and includes information on the Yorktown National Battlefield Visitor Center. House, condo rentals, and restaurant information on Virginia Beach are details of note that encompass pages 49-57. Chrysler Hall, The Virginia Zoo, Naval Station Norfolk, The Hampton Roads Naval Museum, Nauticus National Maritime Center, Battleship Wisconsin (all between pages 44-45), and the Norfolk International Airport (page 57)are among some of the multiple attractions mentioned within the Moon Spotlight Coastal Guide Virginia book (including Colonial Williamsburg) by Michaela Rivera Gaaserud.

Late 1970’s Occult Book From Late Author Anthony Norvell, March 19, 2015
I’m more than aware how blessed, charmed, and lucky in my life that I am even as I write this review for Exorcism: Overcome Black Magic With White Magic by Norvell. For me looking into books like this tap into the burgeoning interest I’ve had for magick/occult studies for quite some time and am now increasingly revisiting due to my growing self-realization (especially once I turned 34) on how much I’ve been unintentionally suppressing and/or censoring my ‘true self’ (with my obvious intent to bring forth more and more of my expanded true self each day,for the rest of my current lifetime). There is a wealth of occult/spiritual information in this book such as; using meditation as a way of activating/increasing your intuition (pages 38-39), exorcism process for transforming current financial challenges into greater monetary riches and abundance (pages 26-27), how a group of scientists used one of the author’s rituals on a test group via negative suggestion to induce sickness (pages 106-107), the author’s exorcism rites for transforming life inspired by his studies of Ancient Egyptian culture (pages 173-184), and white magic rituals that tap into angelic/celestial energy (pages 185-191).

Comfy For My Feet While Providing Balanced Strength For Strolls, March 19, 2015
I’m very fortunate that my mother-in-law bought me these set of New Balance Women’s Country Walking Shoes (I wear a women’s size 10 in shoes). I walked approximately four miles the first time that I received them, which turned out to be even more comfortable than the previous pink tennis shoes that I bought and wore (to which I reluctantly admit were ok in comfort but less comfortable). Anyhow, these New Balance Women’s Country Walking Shoes slip easily on and off my feet while providing strong durability during my walks outside. These shoes also provide a snug fit while allowing an ample grip during outdoor movements.

Cookies With Just the Right Amount of Sweetness, March 19, 2015
I admit that my food weakness for cookies and chips are what influenced me to buy and try this 12 ounce tin of Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies from my job. Obviously, these appetizing cookies are more for those who care more about taste than calories. These cookies do in fact have a smooth creamy taste (from the butter) and are enclosed in white circular paper wrappings to retain freshness.

Kingsman; The Secret Service Adventures/Exploits, March 14, 2015
I admit that I had another movie in mind as I was preparing my plans this week to catch a theater flick. However, I was determined to bring my husband, who insisted that we see this movie first and the other movie later (in return for him complying to see a movie with me). I went ahead and agreed to see the Kingsman; The Secret Service and was pleasantly surprised by the intriguing plot. Galahad (Colin Firth) is an experienced and dignified Kingsman agent who takes great pride in his job. What appears to be a chance meeting between Galahad and Eggsy (Taron Egerton) results in a professional and personal alliance that brings out the best in both of them. The Kingsman; The Secret Service characters of Merlin (Mark Strong) and King Arthur (Michael Caine) are also pivotal in helping Galahad in certain professional endeavors. Richmond Valentine (Samuel Jackson) is a highly influential, affluent, and famous man who ends up on the visual radar of Galahad after a certain situation transpires involving Professor James Arnold (Mark Hamill). However, Galahad has his work cut out for him because Valentine also has a talented and lethal femme fatale named Gazelle (Sofia Boutella) in his corner and loyally by his side. A glimpse of what foreshadows Richmond Valentine’s worldly aims is shown when he is in a meeting with Princess Tilde (Hanna Alstrom) and the Scandinavian Prime minister (Bjorn Floberg).

Unique Music Heartbeat, March 14, 2015
I admit that I purchased this super deluxe edition of Rebel Heart Madonna due to my strong interest and passion for Madonna’s music (Madonna’s hard candy cd is actually my first ever online review, back in June 2008). Additionally, I first started to purchase her music around the time I was 14 years old. Anyhow, there is a strong range of music to enjoy on this super deluxe edition of Rebel heart by Madonna whether you are a fan or a novice to her purchasing her music. Disc one has 19 songs on the first cd and contain a blend of pop, electronica, euro-dance, and R&B. Disco two is a music continuation of that music blend with 6 songs. There are songs that will appeal to men and women from various walks of life due to the range of life themes inherent in the songs such as track 6; Unapologetic B (for heartbreak) and track 8 Joan of Arc (to express the happy and more optimistic side of life). I’m more than aware that even among Madonna fans, the listed favorite songs are going to contrast depending on the person. My current favorite songs on this Super deluxe edition of Rebel Heart by Madonna are; Ghosttown, Devil Pray, Iconic (featuring Chance the Rapper & Mike Tyson), and Messiah. However, regardless of whether you are a fan or new to buying Madonna’s music, Rebel Heart by Madonna is perfect for those who have an eclectic taste in music involving pop, dance, electronica, R&B, and/or for those who just want to hear versatile music.

Los Angeles Area Relocation Primer, March 14, 2015
I must preface this review by mentioning that my interest in looking into living in various places across the U.S. is independent from the fact that both my husband and I have mutually agreed on following our shared intent to settle/reside in the Washington D.C. area together by the time we are both in our 60’s (a long distance marriage would only be a last resort for economic reasons). However, I have been looking at various books of places across the U.S. because it has recently occurred to me (just yesterday) that my husband and I both have equal opportunity in keeping our career/professional options open in terms of moving for work and then moving back to the D.C. area years from now after certain financial, educational, and /or professional/career goals are accomplished(if necessary for a myriad of reasons). However, I wish to avoid saying anything further out of respect and consideration for my husband, my mother-in-law, my concerned family members, my friends, allowing ample time to let my employer know etc. This Newcomer’s Handbook for Moving To and Living In Los Angeles by Heidi Deal, Joan Wai, and Holly Tri (6th edition including Santa Monica, Orange County, Pasadena, and the San Fernando Valley). The feature on neighborhoods such as Orange County’s Yorba Linda, Fullerton (pages 122-123), additional relocation and moving information (pages 151-152), radio stations while getting settled as well as newspapers/magazines (pages166-167), and cultural life (pages 236-237) feature in this guide. There are also written inclusions of luxury living, middle range lodgings, and inexpensive lodgings on pages 328-332. Last, but not least, there is a section on useful phone numbers and websites (pages 359-373 as well as much more information in this book).

 Undercover College Woman, March 14, 2015
I unexpectedly came across the So Undercover movie and was glad to have done so. The character of Molly Morris/Brook Stonebridge (Miley Cyrus) greatly enjoys her job as a private investigator. Molly Morris professionally works alongside her father Sam Morris (Mike O’ Malley) and the movie shows how evident it is that they have a healthy and strong father and daughter connection. However, even Morris’s close connection with her father does not prepare her for an accidental meeting with Armon Ranford (Jeremy Priven). Armon Ranford is aware of Molly Morris’s talent and intends to recruit her for an important project involving a sorority consisting of multiple wealthy sorority females at a popular college somewhere in the American south. In order to conduct her mission discreetly, Molly Morris is encouraged to pose as an undercover student transferring from the University of Hawaii. I admit that I would be receptive to the idea of seeing Miley Cyrus in future films.

Mint Taste and Oreo married together, March 14, 2015
As mentioned in previous reviews, my husband’s interest in oreo cookies predispose me to sometimes buying oreo cookies. I purchased these mint oreo fudge crème (11.3 ounce) from my job. These mint oreos have a taste of a girl scout thin mint cookie mixed with the cream texture found in oreos. There are also tasty hints of almost biting into a cookie reminiscent of andes thin mint chocolate pieces.

I also purchased these Lays Wasabi Ginger kettle cooked potato chips (8 ounce bag) from my Walmart job. These Lay’s Wasabi Gin ger kettle cook chips have a an unbeatable combination of savory taste with the right amount of Wasabi Ginger flavor. The Do Us A Flavor 2014 winner (and credited creator of this flavor) is Meneko Spigner Mcbeth (pictured on the back of the potato chip bag). Some of her plans on what she plans to do with her million dollars; college and dream wedding funds for her 3 little girls and a sports car.

Right blend of cherry flavor in this Wild Cherry pepsi, March 14, 2015
This 2 liter (2.1 quarts)bottle of cherry pepsi packs a mouthwatering blend of cherry flavor into this pepsi with the right amount of sweetness. On the plus side I’m blessed to enjoy good health and admit that I would probably drink this cherry pepsi soda everyday if there was little risk in my physical well-being for doing so.

A Musical Track Representing Lasting Love?, March 14, 2015
I have recently heard Fight For You by Morgan Page on the Tiesto and Armin Van Buuren radio stations on iheartradio. I would guess that this song Fight For You by Morgan Page might be an anthem for an enduring but complicated love. I say this because on one hand the song communicates a positive ode to love by telling a story of a woman who is determined to fight for the person she loves regardless of circumstances. However, the other things she sings about such as trying to convince the person she loves that they are right for them is bordering on a complicated partnership (whether it is about marriage or other types of romantic partnerships). You should not have to repeatedly convince someone that you are right for them after a few times. However, in fairness to this musician, Fight For You by Morgan Page is a catchy and unique song.

Amorous Affair Movie, February 14, 2015
It was watching the trailer for Fifty Shades of Grey while with my husband to see Guardians of The Galaxy that prompted my interest in seeing the Fifty Shades of Grey Film. Basically, the character of Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) draws the interest of Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) during an interview for an article. The pros; There is much steamy and smoldering passion between Steele and Grey because they feel a strong mutual and romantic attraction to each other. Additionally, the torrid erotic scenes between them are believable and bring the story characters to life. Viewers get a sense of how being in a relationship (whether married or not) can change a person because both Steele and Grey experience personal transformations in how they approach life (the longer they get to know each other). The cons; There is an abundance of Steele and Grey getting together in private to consummate their passion, yet there is not enough of them getting out enough to enjoy life more(such as camping in the outdoors, linking up for a spiritual community, volunteer pursuits, education pursuits, going to low cost and/or other types of events such as dances, parties, community/ political speaking meetings etc.). However, in the author's defense, I still have yet to purchase the other books so maybe there is Steele getting out more and enjoying life more frequently independent of Grey. Aside from that caveat, the Fifty Shades of Grey film is a well-timed Valentine's Day release due to the smoldering passion between the Steele and Grey characters.

Steamy and Smoldering Music Selections, February 14, 2015
After hearing the compelling song of Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding on youtube, I became interested in purchasing The Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack (which I did on January 30, 2015). There are multiple appealing songs on this Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack that combine the music sensibilities of Electronica, Jazz, Chillout, pop etc. Please know that there are other songs on this cd that I do enjoy listening to (such as the renditions of Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding, Beyonce’s Haunted, and Salted Wound by Sia). However, I have to admit that my current favorites from this Fifty Shades of Grey movie soundtrack would be “I Put A Spell On You” by Annie Lennox and “One Last Night” by Vaults. This Fifty Shades of Grey movie soundtrack is perfect for those who have an eclectic taste in music that has subtle love affair themes.

Music Variation That Blends Well Together, February 14, 2015
Now That’s What I Call Movies cd is another pre-order selection that I bought on January 30, 2015. I ordered this cd due to some of my passions involving music and movies. Additionally, I pre-ordered Now That’s What I Call Movies because I have purchased and still continue to enjoy Now music compilations (various editions from both the United States and United Kingdom). There is an eclectic mix of music on this edition of Now That’s What I Call movies (artists featuring Bruno Mars For Twilight, Bruce Springsteen For Streets of Philadelphia, Celine Dion for Titanic, Phil Collins For Against All Odds, rendition of Almost Paradise by Mike Reno feat. Ann Wilson for Footloose, artist Seal for Batman Forever, Elton John, Anna Kendrick etc.). My husband’s current favorite song is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen while my current favorites from Now That’s What I Call Movies are Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor (for the Rocky III movie), Happy by Pharrell Williams (for the Despicable Me 2 film), and Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins (for the Top Gun movie). From the wide diversity and music styles (soft rock, rock, pop, dance, country etc) of the artists/groups/musicians mentioned, one can infer that Now That’s What I Call Movies is a collection that is suitable for men and women who have a variety of musical preferences/tastes.

Red Velvet Tasting Cookie, February 14, 2015
I spotted this 10.7 ounce package of red velvet Oreos (limited edition)from my job and decided to eventually get these cookies due to both my curiosity and because of my husband’s enjoyment of the Oreo cookies brand. These red velvet Oreo cookies have a smooth filling reminiscent of cream cheese and a cookie taste that blends red velvet cookies with the classic taste of oreos.

Mouthwatering Hazelnut and Cocoa Flavors In A Jar, February 14, 2015
Reluctantly, I admit to impulsively purchasing this 13 ounce jar of Nutella at my job on the morning of Sunday February 8, 2015. I saw an on the go version of Nutella with graham sticks and got the idea of trying the jar of Nutella as a way to satisfy my chocolate craving. Anyhow, I tried this Nutella spread at home with peanut butter and bread, and the combination of the peanut butter and bread brought out the rich chocolate hazelnut taste of Nutella even more. I confess that I am also familiar with the taste of Nutella because I have ordered and enjoyed the Nutella and Bananas Crepes at iHop restaurants in this area. However, I remember first eating Nutella and banana Crepes at an IHop restaurant in Norfolk Virginia.

Good Fortune Manual, January 23, 2015
After a recent talk with someone that accepts me, I must preface this review by sharing that I do not write these reviews by showing off what I’m blessed with. Instead, I share the reviews, especially my book reviews, as a way of showing the topics that have caught the interest of my spirit/higher self and indirectly showcasing my gratitude for the abundance of information that is frequently being sent my way towards enriching my life more and more each day. I’m fortunate to have accidently discovered that my increased focus on the good luck that is already in my life is helping to heal my karma from both my past lives and current lifetime as well as opening my receptivity to more good luck in my life and a stronger/deeper connection to my higher self. This purchase of the book Liquid Luck; The Good Fortune Handbook by Joseph Gallenberger, PH.D. (listed to be the author of Inner Vegas) is inspired by the heightened blessing of noticing the good luck in my life more and more each day. Happiness And Grounding (starts on page 1), Liquid Luck meditation as it related to love (starts on page 53), Dragons Guarding Treasure (starts on page 97), and Tales of Treasure/Success Stories (starts on page 103) are some of the multiple features of the Liquid Luck Handbook by Joseph Gallenberger PH.D. He also includes recommended readings that start on page 145 and offers a Liquid luck meditation cd on his website to complement this book. I admit that have purchased the Liquid Luck meditation cd and I felt more of a heightened sense of being ready and willing to face various facets of my life just after the first time of listening to the cd. Obtaining this book and cd was also important to me because I intend to be able to visit the Monroe Institute within the next 5 years at the latest.

Inspired By The Energy of The Higher Worlds of Light, January 23, 2015
Touched By Heaven's Light; Inspiring Glimpses Into The Afterlife by Brad Steiger and Sherry Hansen Steiger contains multiple stories of men and women who shared their stories of what they saw when they underwent near death experiences and glimpsed heaven. However, I'm happy to say that this book is worth it to me because it helped to provide me positive confirmation that it is fine to still have a goal of living to be at least 85 years old in this current lifetime while simultaneously keeping a spiritual and heavenly focus. For instance, there is also practical information on page 115 on how a person can increase their spiritual fulfillment/growth goals through meditating at least 15-20 minutes each day. Page 160 features information that confirms that it is actually natural and a vital component of spiritual growth to want to visit and experience being in heaven. Pages 167-168 features details that indicate that heaven contains various and refined duplicates of earth. Pages 169-170 feature information to indicate that spirits are able to travel instantly, there are no limitations of time and space in heaven, and that like minded people gravitate towards each other. I take this to mean that people feel more safe and find it easier to gather with people that are kindred spirits because the authors quote that there is not a trace of pretentiousness in heaven (other spirits can see past illusions and motives in heaven).

Unusual Enchantmant, January 23, 2015
I unintentionally found out about the release of Strange Magic from Yahoo News. Strange Magic is an uplifting animation tune that also doubles as a musical. Of course, Strange Magic ties into multiple characters that reside in the Bog kingdom and those in attendance at the Offspring Ball. However, the plot is definitely turned upside down when one of the characters collects a love potion for another suitor. The energy from the love potion ends up affecting various characters in different ways. There are musical features from popular songs featured in Strange Magic that are inspired by some of the multiple groups/musicians in Strange Magic such as the People Are Strange theme from The Lost Boys movie, I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston, I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You by UB40, Stronger by Kelly Clarkson, I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas, The Love Is Strange Theme From The Dirty Dancing Movie, Strange Magic song (a variant version of this song was also featured on Ella Enchanted), a variant of Bad Romance by Lady Gaga (at least the background music) and many other catchy tunes that could take up the length of another review. Overall, Strange Magic is a quirky and family friendly animated film that also has elements of fantasy.

The Life and Emotional Trials of Chris Kyle And His Family, January 23, 2015
As many already know, The American Sniper film stars Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle and Sienna Miller as Taya Renae Kyle. Chris Kyle becomes both pivotal and important in his job due to his skills as an American Sniper while balancing his career as a navy seal with being the best family man he can for his wife, son, and daughter. One must have a strong stomach to see The American Sniper because there are heartbreaking moments in the film such as the grizzly scene where a man native to Afghanistan known as “the butcher” tortures an innocent male child(young boy) before he dies by intentionally pushing him down on the hard ground and driving a drill through his head. As mentioned in the media, the film also shows a glimpse of the reality the many deployed members of the military face when both deployed, being married and/or raising children through showing what Chris Kyle and his wife Taya Renae Kyle go through as they navigate the circumstances of Chris Kyle having to go on multiple tours.

A Piece Of Early Virginia History, January 23, 2015
A recent feeling to explore movies, music, and/or other media to further understand my Native American/Menominee Indian heritage (inherited from my biological mother and maternal grandmother) is what prompted me to watch The New World movie (even if the movies are about other American Indian tribes) starring Colin Farrell (as Captain John Smith) and Qorianka Kilcher (as Pocahontas). I found out about The New World movie from a 2012 article on the Forbes website (I intend to update the article and writer by March or earlier). Christian Bale (plays John Rolfe) also makes an appearance in the The New World movie. The setting of the New World movie opens in the year 1607 in Virginia. The tension between the Powatan Native American Tribes and the English born settlers starts to show early in the movie. Without giving too much in the movie, the beginning shows how both groups at first got along despite the language barrier and tension. The film even showed that Pocahantas and other members of her tribe were instrumental in helping the settlers with their food challenge when they were all in grave danger of starving to death. I want to say more, but feel intuitively guided to avoid doing so for those who have yet to see The New World movie.

Action Pack Movie Set, January 23, 2015
Either this past Friday night (January 16) or Saturday night (January 17) was when I purchased this 17 movie set on four dvds from my Walmart job for just five dollars. My husband thinks it might have more likely been this past Friday night (January 16th). The front of the dvd cover includes a photo of Kiefer Sutherland and the back of the dvd photo includes Keanu Reeves and Dolph Lundgren. I admit that I did not have time to watch all the movies yet. However, I intend to update this review by March 2015 on a longer review for all 17 of the movies. So far, I have only watched CIA II; Target Alexa (starring Lorenzo Llamas, Kathleen Kinmont, and Jon Savage). In CIA II the character of Mark Graver (Lorenzo Lamas) teams up with Alexa (Kathleen Kinmount) to take care of some unfinished business involving Franz Kluge (John Salvage). Kluge is a very dangerous man, especially because his female partner in crime is just as violent, if not more so than he is. What complicates matters is the fact that Alexa and Kluge are strongly linked because Alexa became pregnant by Kluge and had a daughter named Tanya. However, the catch to the dvd set is that none of the three men on the dvd cover (Kiefer Sutherland, Keanu Reeves, and Dolph Lundgren) are not necessarily in every movie featured such as CIA II. The following are the other 16 movies listed for those who understandably would like to decide before March on whether or not to get this 17 movie dvd set; 1-Brotherhood of Justice, Black Jack, Choke, The Contract, Crosshairs, Alone In The Neon Jungle, South Bronx Heroes, Zero Tolerance, Tunnel Vision, Spenser; Pale Kings & Princes, Nightmare At Bittercreek, The Fall, Crash Landing, Burning Daylight, Running Red, and Second Story Man.

Unveil The Clairvoyant Side, January 23, 2015
A determination and intent to grow my budding and natural intuitive faculties motivated me to purchase Unleash The Psychic Within You; How To Trust Your Intuition For Success by Joanna Garzilli (2nd Edition). How her world was turned upside down (starts on page 1), the connection between intuition and indecision free decision making (starts on page 43), and using intuition/personal visionary traits within to remove blocks, limitations, and see past the illusions (starts on page 79).

Dainty Pop Tarts, January 23, 2015
With gratitude regardless of what others think, I admit that these Kellog’s strawberry pop tarts are among the multiple grocery items that my mother in law purchased for my husband and I through Amazon’s prime pantry. I thought it was a nice gesture for her to buy these pop tarts after my husband admitted to her that I enjoyed smores pop tarts. The strawberry pop tarts are also just as toothsome and go perfectly with a cold cup of milk for dipping. The strawberry pop tarts also have the right amount of sweetness.

Divine Support System Allies, January 23, 2015
A sense of setting an intent to connect with the spirit realm/higher realms of light, my higher self, and to be a magnet to positive celestial energies prompted me to obtain Spirit Allies; Meet Your Team From The Other Side by Christopher Penczak (author of The Inner Temple of Witchcraft). Connecting With The Gods Within (such as your higher self, starts on page 11), Learning To Play (starts on page 59), and Building A Better Spirit (starts on page 165) are some of the multiple subject matter features included within Spirit Allies; Meet Your Team From The Other Side by Christopher Penczak (author of The Inner Temple Of Witchcraft).

Communicating With Heaven, January 23, 2015
A desire to forge a deeper connection to my higher self and benevolent celestial energies of the higher realms of light is the main motive that inspired me to obtain Communing With The Divine; A Clairvoyant’s Guide To Angels, Archangels, and the Spiritual Hierarchy by Barbara Y. Martin & Dimitri Moraitis. The pros to this book; Information is included such as details on the main meanings of a spiritual hierarchy (starts on page 11), God And The Holy Ones (starts on page 26), Spiritual Teachers (starts on page 163), and Connecting With The Higher (starts on page 251). Please understand that I’m more than fully aware that there are currently many men women, and children alive who are naturally psychic without even trying and/or were born that way even before meeting certain spiritual teachers/mentors that had a positive impact on their life. My only caveat to this book is Martin’s implication on page 226 that a person cannot learn how to be clairvoyant and/or psychic by reading a book. Additionally, I understand that connecting with the powerful spiritual teachers, mentors, and/or other people can accelerate a person’s spiritual evolution. It is just that I respectfully disagree with Martin because the topic that she discusses in her book is helped somewhat by natural intuition (although high intuition is not necessary yet it helps). A talented critic could argue that such an implication on page 226 would also mean that a person cannot learn to connect with the divine by reading this book and/or any other books. No, I prefer to avoid playing devil’s advocate when trying to make my point that it is just as possible to at least start to develop psychic abilities/intuition by being exposed to various books as it is connecting to angels and other benevolent forces from the heavenly realms/higher realms of light. This is especially in light of recent years where legitimate psychics have been able to join up with other professional psychics/intuitives/clairvoyants and/or other talented men/women via the internet, through high functioning clients, and other avenues to assemble books on developing psychic abilities/intuition/awakening the third eye. Aside from that caveat, Communing With The Divine; A Clairvoyant’s Guide To Angels, Archangels, And The Spiritual Hierarchy is a detail packed and healing book on connecting to positive celestial energies of the light/their own higher selves/souls/spirit in conjunction with manifesting personal goals, maintain resilience,tackling challenges with resourcefulness while mitigating adverse karma, creating more frequent occurrences of happy and/or lucky days, and/or success (on a personal, professional, and/or spiritual level).
