 Superb Tv Show, January 19, 2016
I admit that I became interested in eventually watching The Biggest Loser Show Season 15 Episode 1 (episode #1501)titled Taking Chances after finding out about the phenomenal success story of Rachel Frederickson. I’m glad that the show is made available because it is insightful for me to see what each of the contestants encounter and share towards their journey of weight loss success. Of course, I was also surprised at how much weight the body can be capable of losing/releasing once I saw the contestants step on the scale. Obviously, due to my own fitness goals, I plan on watching many more episodes of the The Biggest Loser, especially season 15.

Born From Some of My Newfound Goals, January 19, 2016
I’m obviously happy to be able obtain a magazine subscription plan that allows both print and Amazon kindle (digital) issues of Runner’s World magazine. There is a feature in the January/February issue of what it is like for runners in Bangkok Thailand. There is also a unique feature titled Run Like It’s Your Job where some runners share how they rearranged their professional lives to make time for running. This was extremely important for me to see, especially since I have a fresh start towards dedicating myself more to my fitness goals but to also give me an idea of what to expect in terms of being able to integrate more physical activity for the rest of my current lifetime while taking into account professional/career concerns. Some of the careers featured in just this article alone are that of a operations manager at a taxi advertising firm, a self employed marketing consultant and yoga instructor, a packing specialist for a parts manufacturer, an adjunct professor of economics at Rutgers University, and a self-employed recruiter.

My Goal To At Least Visit California again Influenced Me To Watch This, January 19, 2016
The Real Housewives Orange County Season 9 Episode 1 (titled Hawaii Uh-Oh) feature some of the women taking in the sights and sounds of Hawaii. What I like about the episode is the candid views that a watcher can get from glimpsing into their lives. For instance, one of the women implies how much she is going to miss her daughter, when she discovers that her daughter is following her Marine husband to Oklahoma with her grandchild. Another woman shows how much she cares for both her husband and children but truthfully admits her policy on paying them minimum wage and allowances. I would gladly watch more episodes of the Real Housewives of Orange County because of the candid nature of the women featured in this episode.

Unexpectedly Gave Me A Glimpse Into Indirect Word Communication, January 19, 2016
This Margin Call Movie stars big name actors such as Kevin Spacey, Stanley Tucci, and others. The movie gives a glimpse into how some of the employees lives are turned upside down from their work in the financial industries. I did like that the film also gave a glimpse into how some conversations can potentially work when a customer is asked about their interest in investing in a particular venture.

 Another Side of Washington D.C. Affluence?, January 19, 2016
I admit that I decided to watch the first episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac titled Mind Your Manners after seeing it advertised on either Daily Mail UK and/or the Bravo tv website (I truthfully forget which one I first saw it on). Anyhow, the pros of The Real Housewives of Potomac; The women featured in the show seem to truly love their lives and seem grateful for their wealth. I also liked that one of the women featured truthfully mentioned her career as a public relations specialist and seems to enjoy it. The other positive is that the women seemed to want to attempt to make time for each other to have fun (such as in the scene where they are in the restaurant together). The cons; I am not walking in the shoes of any of the women so I’m going to try to be fair in my critique but it seemed so trivial towards the end of the episode when two of the women were arguing over a chair (I truly think that had the cameras not been watching them that there is a fair chance that maybe they would have settled their dispute in a more drama-free manner). Another scene; There was a scene where one of the women were being questioned on her long-distance marriage. I truly feel that she does love her husband and maybe the person asking her was truly concerned for her well-being. However, I noticed that the woman kept probing her to answer even though it was clear that she was not yet ready to talk about the long-distance marriage (although in the inquirer’s defense the episode 2 preview looked like the woman questioned looks more ready to discuss her marriage). There are more moments, but I’m going to avoid saying more because I’ve only seen episode 1. I confess that I do not know how many more episodes of the real Housewives of Potomac that I plan to watch because, as of the past week, my life is actually getting unexpectedly busier (for the better/happier) and because I already have some of the other tv shows that I plan to watch within the next 5-12 months as my schedule/my personal time permits; Growing Up Hip-Hop, Billions,The Biggest Loser, The Magicians, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Real Housewives of Orange County, Vanderpump Rules,Mad Men,The Last Ship, Dragon Ball Z,Masterchef junior, Chopped junior,NCIS,House of Cards,Charmed, Supernatural, and some other Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu Shows I prefer to keep a secret for now. However, I’ll at least give episode 2 of the Real Housewives of Potomac a try because maybe episode 1 just stemmed from many of them being nervous and/or frazzled from knowing the cameras are watching them.

Invigorating Prime Playlist, January 19, 2016
This Scores For Work Playlist is very relaxing to listen to and I also found it helpful in stimulating my creativity towards my writing. This Scores For Work Amazon Playlist has a wide range of brilliant songs on here from various movies such as Hedwig’s theme from the Harry Potter movie, Old Friends from the Hobbit film,Dream Within A Dream from the Inception film and more. The Scores For Work Playlist is perfect for an eclectic music listener. I admit that the Scores for For Amazon playlist is only one of the multiple playlists that I have enjoyed so far. The New Age for Work playlist, Chill Electronic playlist, Stress-Free Playlist, and Uptempo Pop For Work Amazon Prime Playlists are but some of the multiple playlists I have listened to from Amazon prime so far.

A Memoir of the Day In The Life of A Late Publicist, January 17, 2016
Starmaker Life As a Publicist with Farrah, The Rat Pack, and 600 More Stars Who Fired Me by Jay Bernstein (Author), Larry Cortez Hamm (Author),David Rubini (Contributor) opens with Bernstein speaking to a mother and her daughter connected to a wealthy and influential family in the United States and his confession that he compared her to one of his favorite clients Farrah Fawcett and he also writes positively of Suzanne Somers (pages 2-3), and how he bounced back early in his career after he endured one of his first experiences with getting fired in Hollywood. Bernstein additionally covers multiple points in his career such as as his work with celebrities such as Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra (pages 90-91). On page 189 Bernstein recalls meeting up with the late financier and producer Dino De Laurentis (one of his granddaughters is Giada De Laurentis, a famous chef) and on page 247 he admits to the heartbreaking moment that he was fired by Farrah Fawcett (even despite their mutual respect for each other). Fawcett and Bernstein were dining at the Bagel Nosh, a Beverly Hills restaurant and Fawcett did at least admit that she could no longer keep Bernstein as her publicist as a condition for her new Faberge contract (this was eye-opening to me because it proved to me that sometimes people are not necessarily fired due to bosses and/or management that hate them but other circumstances that a person can’t always prepare for ahead of time). In Chapter 22 (starts on page 249),Jay Bernstein discusses his employment with Suzanne Somers. I’m also glad to have come across this book because the author indirectly shows how people can put in a word and/or favor for someone, which can garner them unexpected help in the career/professional arena. I’m lucky to have seen this firsthand in my own life because I received an unexpected but positive-oriented letter in the mail letting me know that my name was among the list of people selected for free assistance with my employment endeavors (this unexpectedly occurred less than three to four days ago after I was praying for any forms of help with my career endeavors/pursuits).

2035 or Sooner is Now The Year I Truly Have Hope in Repaying My Student Loans Thanks to Shannon Young Sharing Her Story, January 17, 2016
This purchase of the Amazon kindlebook titled Pay Off: How One Millennial Eliminated Nearly $80,000 in Student Debt in Less Than Five Years (Kindle Single) by Shannon Young stemmed from my own determination to repay my student loans by the year 2030 (2035 at the latest) and I’m craving inspiration on how to make student loan payoff possible while still independently living on your own (whether on your own if single or with a spouse/partner depending on if you are married or unmarried but in a long-term relationship). I must preface that I had my own mind made up about pursuing my dream of going to college and have dreamed of doing so ever since I became a straight A student in the sixth grade and having my mind made up to eventually pursue my dream of going to college for sure after I made class valedictorian in eighth grade (out of around 389 students). I preface my valedictorian achievement not to be nostalgic but to imply why I have wanted to go to college at an early age as well as having a goal in mind since that age to eventually become an accomplished career woman (because I’m well aware that some well-meaning people may think that my education and college dreams may have originated from other people besides myself). Anyhow, I enjoyed how the author admitted to finally obtaining a lucrative chance to make a dent on her student loans once she relocated overseas to Hong Kong. This is an impressive accomplishment because she bravely admitted to having borrowed $80,000 to attend Colgate University while majoring in English (which definitely gave hope to me that I can repay my student loans before 2035 regardless of how my major is viewed in the general public). I also think that it was generous of her to share how much she made each month to help her repay her student loans within five years (I know some people will say Duh but I actually saw a good intentioned written story a few days ago where an accomplished person did at least share that they paid back their student loans while living on their own-which is an outstanding achievement- but there was missing information on how much they made each month to make that a reality). Anyhow the author courageously admitted that she made $4,870 a month but then it was adjusted to $2161 per month after her housing assistance allowance was factored in. Fortunately, I do not have a co-signer on my student loans which makes them completely erased upon my death (which fortunately gives me peace of mind especially for my friends, family members, and my husband who matter to me). However, whether I live until my 90’s or die young I would prefer to die knowing that I truly did the best I can to live up to my professional/financial potential regardless of how popular and/or obscure I am while I’m alive. I must avoid saying more out of courtesy for people who have not yet purchased the kindlebook titled Pay Off: How One Millennial Eliminated Nearly $80,000 in Student Debt in Less Than Five Years (Kindle Single) by Shannon Young.

Great If You’re A Madonna Fan, January 17, 2016
This Madonna 2016 Square 12X12 Live Nation calendar contains both uniquely expressive and colorful photos of the singer for each month. I like that she doesn’t take herself too seriously in these photos (which inspires me because I’m in the process of learning how to lighten up more) and she seems to have fun with the whole idea of how women are expected to look and behave such as for the June 2016 photo (where she is posing with bunny ears on her head but I don’t think that it was meant as a putdown to Playboy but rather what looks to be the idea of even a famous woman showing in a non-judgemental way)- basically that it is possible to be both highly visible while still having fun with however you’re perceived. My only caveat is that there is not space designated to write important appointments in the Calendar. However, I’m still glad that I bought the calendar, yet I understand that someone else may want primarily just one calendar where they can write down several things –such as personal appointments, work engagements etc.

Good Both For Madonna Fans and/or People New To Her Music, January 17, 2016
This music collection of the Original Album Series by Madonna a.k.a. titled Madonna Original Album Series has five albums of music for both people new to her music and others who enjoy collecting her music compilations. However, for the current price, the listener gets value for their dollar because of the variety of hits within the five cds referenced to be with this collection and currently available to listen to online such as; Open Your Heart, True Blue, Like A Prayer, Express Yourself, Cherish, Oh Father, Ray of Light, Nothing Really Matters, Music, Don’t Tell Me, Hung Up, Get Together, Forbidden Love, Jump, and more songs. Yes. I understand that Madonna has more dazzling songs within the five cds, it was just that I felt intuitively called to mention the ones that could be listened to online (such as through Amazon and/or youtube) or people who are still undecided and would prefer to have songs to reference from as a way to gauge if they would enjoy the five cds available within the series.

Nourishing Food From My Mother-In-Law, January 17, 2016
I’m glad that my mother in law purchased this Mother Earth Products Dried Spinach, 1 Full Quart because spinach is actually one of the few vegetables that I liked as a child and still find tasty enough to eat to this day. This dried spinach goes perfect with cooked food (such as scrambled eggs). The spinach has an earthy texture with a pleasant taste.

Beach House Lounge Music, January 17, 2016
Hed Kandi Beach House is a various artist collection featuring lounge, chillout, and/or beach chillout music (hence the title). There is the inclusion of various artists within this three cd set, with each of the cds containing 15 songs. Currently, cd three starts out the strongest for me (with such songs as Touch by Bearcubs (Klaves Remix), Looking Back by Anras & Oscar, Ancestral Melody by No Logo, Take A Chance by Scott Diaz etc., yet I admit that this could change once I listen to Hed Kandi Beach house more often. Nonetheless, Hed Kandi Beach House is perfect for music listeners who are looking for group gathering chillout music (music you could still play around friends when relaxing but that you would still listen to if you are having some calming solitude time for yourself-such as for meditation, writing, reading etc.).

Popular 2008 Hits, January 17, 2016
This music collection of Now That’s What I Call Music 29 is ideal for people who listen to a wide variety of music because of the representations from different music genres; For instance, there are the songs Closer by Neyo,Forever by Chris Brown, Disturbia by Rihanna, and When I Grow Up by the Pussycat Dolls to represent the pop/dance genre. Then there are the songs Come On Get Higher by Matt Nathanson. Thunder by Boys Like Girls, Addicted by Saving Abel to represent the rock genre. There are more terrific songs on Now 29, it was just that I was listing a sampler to illustrate why Now 29 is perfect for an eclectic music listener. I admit that I’m previously familiar with some of these songs because some of them were featured on the local radio in Norfolk Virginia (where I lived from February 2008 until April 2009).

The following pages (104-105) contain a recipe for Chutney Canape Spread (listed to be referenced from James Beard’s Hors D[Oueveres and Canapes by James Beard (William Morrow & Co., 1963).

If You Like The Wolf of Wall Street film, January 17, 2016
This book The Wolf of Wall Street by Jordan Belfort is written in a way that various areas of his life are revealed; such as his account (appeared to be told in a tongue in cheek manner) of his encounter with a flight attendant from Switzerland and trying to undo himself out of the seatbelts he was in (page 122). Then on pages 298-299, Belfort recalls almost thinking that he was going to have to spend overnight at Nassau county lockup and much more. My husband and I both enjoyed watching the Wolf of Wall Street film (which we both thought was a quality movie but this book scratches the beneath the surface even more compared to what is in the Wolf of Wall Street movie).

Advertising Career Memoir, January 17, 2016
The book Then We Set His Hair on Fire; Insights and Accidents From A Hall of Fame Career in Advertising by the late Phil Dusenberry (listed on the book cover to have been former Chairman of BBDO North America) covers areas such as his take on what you have to think about when running your own business (page 79). Dusenberry gave the example of one of his friends who liked the wine and asked the owner about the wine he enjoyed. The owner looked up the wine in the Beverage Digest. Dusenberry also discusses in Chapter 11-Going Orbital his work with the late Michael Jackson and more(chapter 11 starts on page 218 which I’m guessing is how the author came up with the title of this book).

Riveting Episode, January 17, 2016
This tv show of Billions Season 1 Episode 1 (the pilot episode) stars Paul Giamatti as Chuck Roades and Damien Lewis as Bobby Axe Axelrod. I admit that I decided to take a chance on watching after watching the Billions tv show after seeing the stoic expressions of the actors on the ad (which told me that this was going to be a tv show with much depth and drama) and due being acquainted with the two actor’s previous works. The recent films I have watched featuring Paul Giamatti are Saving Mr. Banks (based on the collaboration between Walt Disney and the Mary Poppins author Pamela P.L.Travers and the Illusionist movie while I have watched Damien Rice before in an episode of the Homeland tv series featuring Claire Danes). Anyhow, Giamatti stars as tough and determined Chuck Rhoades, an attorney who carefully walks the fine line between wanting to do what is best for his job while also dealing with his professional nemesis Bobby Axe Axelrod (Damien Lewis). What complicates the layers of each of the men’s characters is that both men love their wives and children. Chuck Rhoades is married to Wendy Rhoades (Maggie Siff) who has to walk a fine line between making sure that she is truly giving her husband the emotional and professional encouragement he needs while also still doing the best job she can as a performance coach employed by Bobby Axelrod. I recognized Malin Akerman as Bobby’s wife Lara Axelrod (due to previously watching Akerman in a Trophy Wife tv episode). Anyhow, Rhoades takes his job seriously as does Axelrod but this is where the similarities appear to end. Rhoades currently does not believe in using his money and/or influence to get an unfair edge over others especially when it may pose an ethical danger to him and/or illegal danger. Bobby Axelrod on the other hand does put on a public persona of being financially charitable and friendly to others (just from this episode it can actually make you pity the former employees who may have unintentionally crossed Axelrod). However, the pilot episode shows that Axelrod’s charitable giving of his wealth may be just a public cover that he is using to cover up for things that he is doing when not as many people are looking (seen from a secret meeting of Axelrod with another character and when Axelrod taunts Rhoades with a major purchase he initially led him to believe he wouldn’t make). Rhoades is no shrieking violet either and he (Rhoades) courageously makes this clear after a speaking engagement that featured Axelrod that he is not afraid of him even with the influence that he knows that Axelrod has. I would not be surprised if the characters of Rhoades and Axelrod were inspired and/or crafted by a multiple culmination of real-life examples. Nonetheless, I’m glad to have found out about the Billions Tv series and I look forward to watching future episodes of Billions.

Supernatural Pandora’s Box Unleashed?, January 17, 2016
I unexpectedly found out about the Magician tv series after catching a commercial on it on tv recently (I just wish that I could remember if it was from the Bravo channel or the Syfy channel). Anyhow, The Magicians tv series Season 1 Episode 1 Unauthorized Magic features characters who attend a secret mystical university reserved for certain people to hone their occult/magic skills. The tv series shows two of the characters undergoing a special type of initiation to see if they qualify for admission to the Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy the two characters involved in this who also happen to be best friends in the series are Jason Ralph as Quentin Coldwater and Stella Maeve as Julia Wicker. Coldwater is excited about attending Brakebills College because it is a place where for the first time in his life that he feels that he truly belongs. His best friend Julia Wicker wants so much to also attend and the pilot episode of the Magicians appears to show why sometimes things happen in the timing and/or the way they are meant to be even if the person does not see it that way (which deep down I know but it was good to be reminded). I was taken for a shock to see what happened to some of the characters at the end of the tv episode-which my husband politely explained to why is a script play/take on maybe a message being sent on why a person must send a certain spirit back to where they came from after calling on them for whatever reason (obviously depending on the purpose and what spirits are being called). This episode of Unauthorized Magic from the Magicians tv series is perfect for both either people who enjoy fantasy tv series and/or aspiring writers wanting a glimpse into how a fantasy tv show series is written.

I’m Happy To Have Discovered This From an Amazon E-mail Newsletter, January 17, 2016
The tv show Just Add Magic is filled with much emotion and tells the story of close friends who band together even more after finding out a particular cookbook has magical recipes. One of the characters has a grandma who tells her to trust in her instincts for a brief moment when she happens to be talking. There is so much more to this enthralling tv Just Add Magic that is perfect for all ages and/or aspiring writers who want to watch a tv study on how plots to children’s tv shows are developed.

Fantastic Rock Song, January 17, 2016
I remember first hearing this astonishing rock song that is the Cradle of Love around the time I was 10 years old (both via local radio and television). From the music video, I take the meaning of Cradle of Love by Billy Idol to be about a person’s romantic interest obviously being fully aware that someone has a crush on them and/or are in love with them.

Thunderstruck by AC/DC is an alluring rock hit that has musically strong guitars and well placed chanting. I admit that I chose to go to the songfacts website to garner the meaning of Thunderstruck, which from the website the group got the idea to pair thunderstruck with the power concept (since their name AC/DC is affiliated with power).

I’ve Already Played This Song At Least Seven Times Since First Hearing it Less than 7 days Ago, January 17, 2016
Feel The Vibe by Bob Sinclair feat. Dawn Tallman is a heart-filled type of dance song that invokes a feeling of optimism. I’m guessing that this song is about spiritually soaring regardless of the external obstacles that pop up in a person’s life whether they are self-inflicted and/or if they are being spiritually tested from other people. I’m truthfully grateful to have come across this song because Feel the Vibe by Bob Sinclair feat. Dawn Tallman truly gives me an emotional boost each time I hear it. I’m rationally/intuitively aware that this may sound crazy but this musical gem of a song makes me feel as if this is a message from my higher self in how I truly need to feel (through the lyrics that Bob Sinclair and Dawn Tallman created together in this song) as a positive/healthy key towards my spiritual evolution, personal growth, and professional/career growth.

Romantic Alternative Rock With A Summer Energy, January 17, 2016
Tear In My Heart by Twenty One Pilots appears to be a rock song about the singer mention a woman who occupies a large space in his heart (metaphorically speaking). He sings about her taking him higher than he’s ever been (which I’m guessing she makes him feel a euphoric romantic high).

For a Happy Love Playlist, January 17, 2016
The song Never Leave You Uh-Oh by Lumidee feat. Busta Rhymes appears to be an upbeat dance/R&B tune about sticking with the person you love long-term. I admit that there was a timeframe back in 2004 (while I was in California)when I would wake up to this song as my alarm. I would have to say because this song is a happy love song and I still feel that way about this song being an uplifting love song.

Judging A Book By Is Cover Song?, January 17, 2016
The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson is a compelling alternative rock song that I first heard as a teenager in the 1990’s (from both local radio and television). I take this song’s meaning to symbolize the singer’s way of truthfully admitting that we do live in a world where many people are prejudged (even outside of Hollywood)based on physical appearance/weight. This song actually creeped into my dreams as an adult after I reluctantly accepted that I must get a handle on my weight not just for health reasons but reasons having to do with getting a job and how my value as a woman may be perceived (whether I like it or not). I took this song being in my dream as an intuitive warning to accept that reality that I just mentioned without feeling self-pity (I prefer to avoid public sharing when I had that dream). Nonetheless, The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson is a rock song with depth that explores a person’s journey to greatness without letting the physical appearance judgements consume them.

A Summer Kind of Reggaeton Song?, January 17, 2016
I must make it clear by admitting that I do not know that much Spanish (very little Spanish) which therefore indirectly influences the fact that I do not understand the full lyrics of Oye Mi Canto by Nore, Nina Sky, Tego Calderon, Gemstar Y Big Mato. However, I first heard this thrilling song in California back around the summer of 2004 via a local radio station that would play both American top 40 songs and reggaeton hits such as this song-which caught my attention more for the music, vocals, and beat. I admit that I normally prefer to primarily listen to songs where I can at least partially understand the lyrics-but Oye Mi Canto is one of those musical rarities where I enjoy the music and vocals even without me understanding the language.

Vintage Indie Pop Rock, January 17, 2016
How Soon Is Now by The Smiths appears to me to be an indie/rock song about a person who wants to be accepted for the person they are just like everybody else and that they have feelings just like everyone else does. This is another song that I first heard as a teenager but I notice that the song How Soon Is Now by the Smiths have also been featured on various popular movie/tv shows such as the Craft movie, the Charmed tv show etc.

90’s Dance/Pop, January 17, 2016
I happen to be familiar with the song Crazy by Seal because it played a lot on local radio (near where I lived) during the 1990’s and the song would also play on VH1. I’m taking the song Crazy by Seal to mean being less rigid when it comes to how a person approaches life, but once again I understand that this dance/pop song could mean something else.

Audiobook Spiritual Class, January 17, 2016
I admit that I chose to obtain this audiobook What I Know For Sure by Oprah Winfrey because of the multiple positive reviews. Oprah gets candid on how her history shaped her upbringing including the emotional pain that she carried with her family history and her true feelings when one of her family members revealed what was then a major secret about her. With relief, she narrated that Graham Stedman was there to comfort her and much more. I also found it healing that she emphasizes that every challenging moment has a silver lining and that your greatest challenge/struggle can produce your greatest strength and more information.

I’m Going To Take a Chance, January 17, 2016
I’m going to take a chance and confess that one of the reasons I purchased the kindlebook of Magickal Servitors; Create Your Own Spirits to Attract Pleasure, Power, and Prosperity by Damon Brand was for ideas towards my scriptwriting and storytelling hobby and for the affordable price of the kindlebook(other reasons I prefer to keep secret). Some of the following information in this one of a kind book by Damon Brand; the ideas behind servitor magick are more harm-free spiritually because the servitors are created from your own energy/freewill, he shares details related to using servitors in his novel writing under another name, perception servitors, servitors of influence, manifestation servitors, advice that it is ok to fashion a servitor after a human appearance but that you must avoid copying the appearance of someone living or dead, and much more.

I Wish I Came Across This Book Before Voluntarily Leaving The Navy Back in 2009, January 16, 2016
I’m happy that I found out about this book So Good They Can’t Ignore You; Why Skills Trump Passion In The Quest For Work You Love by Cal Newport because I have discovered from my own personal experience that whatever career I pursue must be one in which the doors are open to me and/or one where I can create my own professional doors while also simultaneously being one that I can easily transfer over to other industries with if necessary ( if forced to leave one workplace and/or I voluntarily choose to leave a given workplace) and keep one gainfully employed regardless of age (such as accountants, chefs, public relation specialists, human resource specialists, manager, careers in merchandising/employed as a merchandiser etc.) This book covers among the following; the authors mention of Steve Jobs and some details on him, the author explains why passion is a side effect of mastery and his reference to the Ted Talk of the Suprising Science of Motivation by Daniel Pink (also author of Drive). In Chapter Three Cal Newport persuasively writes why passion can sometimes be dangerous (when he discusses dangerous I’m taking it to mean if a person for instance leaves a well- paying job that helps them make at least $3,000 a month after taxes without thinking it through enough if there is a way to get their chosen career without taking the financially dangerous route of voluntarily leaving the company). To support his passion is dangerous point, he mentions the example of an accomplished professional living in Washington D.C. who works in politics but admits that they may want to purse something else, in chapter five Newport mentions the power of career capital (he references people such as Ira Glass for creativity in radio and the tale of a woman named Lisa Feur who bravely admitted to having left a career in advertising and marketing to follow her yoga passion (I mean the brave word sincerely because of my own strong interest in wanting to be employed in the advertising,marketing, and/or public relations career fields until the day I die, which hopefully won’t be until I’m at least in my 90’s).

History Stories Told In Music Form?Hamilton, January 16, 2016
An American Musical Original Broadway Cast Recording by Various Artists features 46 music tracks touching on various historic stories in music form. A person also has to have an open mind as well because the tracks touch on controversial issues such as The Reynolds Pamphlet where it appears to be about the controversy surrounding a mistress that Alexander Hamilton had but was not at first initially aware of key elements of his lover’s background that she left out (I admit that I am somewhat familiar with the Reynolds Pamphlet story because of finding out about it through the One Nation Under Sex book by David Eisenbach Ph.D. and Larry Flynt). There are also some other compelling tunes such as You’ll Be Back, A Winter’s Ball, Satisfied, Wait For It, and more).
