This review is from: Sunny Days (MP3 Music)
I am so glad to have unexpectedly come across this song Sunny Days by Armin Van Buuren feat. Josh Cumbee through youtube. The message of the song is beautiful and is pretty much about looking forward and believing in better times, hence the sunny days message. This song Sunny Days is also a gorgeous music blend of dance, electronic, and futuristic pop melodies.

Thavis Is Here
Thavis Is Here
by Harry Homewood
Edition: Mass Market Paperback

5.0 out of 5 stars Having An Open/Inquisitive Mind Is Vital BecauseJune 24, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I confess that I have to credit another writer/author by the name of Joseph Malam who wrote the kindlebook for A Quick Guide For Making Contact With a Higher Intelligence for giving me the idea to check out this book Thavis is Here by Harry Homewood. The only caveat to this book is that not every chapter is dedicated to the contact that author makes with his spirit guide Thavis. Some of the other chapters are spent with Homewood trying to explain his proof for why and how he made contact. Some of the ideas that were very helpful for someone like me; the soul does not actually decide whether to return to reincarnation back on earth, reincarnate into another world, or stay in the spirit realm until after they pass away. This alone was more helpful than I realized because I came across some sources that implied that you have to reincarnate unless you were a highly advanced soul andor other unique sources that left that question wide open. A technique is given for how to deal with andor neutralize an earth-bound or what the author calls an errant spirit who tries to interfere when you are close to making contact with your spirit guide(s). Encouraging information is given that everyone is capable of making contact with their spirit guide and accessing their psychic abilities but that some people are obviously more gifted at this than others. This was important for someone like me to hear because once again I have sometimes came across well-meaning sources that would place a hierarchy on the type of people who usually develop their intuitive abilities andor connect with their spirit guides. Homewood makes it clear that some people will successfully make direct contact with their spirit guides right away while for others it may take 6 months or longer. I admit that up until getting this book I actually thought that only a select few people can actually see what their spirit guides look like while they are alive on this earth and that usually one does not see what their main spirit guide looks like until after they die. However, according to this book, many people are actually capable of seeing what their spirit guides actually look like when they are alive once they work more on their spiritual development. One must also give themselves the time and opportunity to write as Harry Homewood ties some of his information on making contact with the idea of writing. Even as an open-minded woman, what does make this book a little eerie and maybe prescient is the fact that this book delves a little into the afterlife, it came out in June 12, 1978 and the author passed away in 1984 (his death listed via the website source goodreads). Yes, I understand that death is not something to be feared, it is just that I found it eerie that the author passed away around 6 years after making this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gives Me Buoyant NostalgiaJune 24, 2017
This Amazon playlist of Now That’s What I Call Music 4 has an eclectic mix of music from the late 1990s. I know that I am showing my age by saying this but I remember a multiple number of these catchy hits from my senior year in high school (yes, I am the Class of 2000). There is a wide range of pop, R&B, dance, and rock on this collection. The songs Candy by Mandy Moore, I Need to Know by Marc Anthony, I Knew I Loved You by Savage Garden, I Wanna Know by Joe, Waiting For Tonight by Jennifer Lopez, and Meet Virginia by Train are some of the guilty pleasure songs that I enjoyed from this collection. As a matter of fact, I confess that I was listening to Candy by Mandy Moore less than a few days ago when I was going on one of my fitness walks outside (my husband likes the Candy song too). However, there are a wide variety of songs for various people on this Amazon playlist of Now That’s What I Call Music 4.

5.0 out of 5 stars ExaltingJune 24, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I admit that I was the one who persuaded my husband to come with me to see the Cars 3 film. Fortunately, he liked the Cars 3 film as well. The film Cars 3 touches on the story of Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) who wants to make a career comeback so to speak and enlists help from various characters to do it. The movie cheerfully paints how it is never too late to turn things around regardless of how things appear initially. I have always believed that as long as you are alive on earth, then you still have another chance to turn things around andor enhance to make things even better. As a writer, I am glad to have came across a film with that positive message.

I admit that one of the things that sparks my interest to look into this kindlebook of Secrets of Alfea (Winx Club) is because it reminds me a little bit of the Ever After High series. I plan on writing one set of stories for adult audiences and another set of books for children audiences (under different pen names) and looking into series such as the Ever After High and the Secrets of Alfea helps me understand how to tailor children’s books to a wide audience. The Secrets of Alfea (Winx Club) kindlebook features the various characters getting together to organize an important college party at a type of magical academy. However, there are some people who wish they were invited that, rather than organize their own party, decide to take matters into their own dangerously speaking. The story of the Secrets of Alfea (Winx Club) also touches on friendship in a fun and lighthearted way.

Giant National Capital Barbecue Battle
1101 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington, DC 20004
b/t N 12th St & N 11th St 
Federal Triangle
I disclose and admit that I am a woman who volunteered from the general private sector public for this Giant National Barbecue Battle Event this past Sunday morning. I got off the Archives metro train station as it was closest to the event from where I was taking public transportation (via the Prince Georges Plaza metro station).I had a very easy role as a volunteer which was just to help the other volunteers serve drinks to the paying customers getting alcohol. Each customer had a wristband indicating they were at least 21 which helped make it easier to legally ensure that the customers getting the alcohol were of age. Additionally, I worked around some knowledgeable volunteers who helped make sure that I was following the rules when it came to helping to distribute the drinks (volunteers were forbidden to partake of the alcoholic drinks while volunteering for good reason).  I started working at the stand early in the day (around 10 am) and freely left my stand by 2 pm which gave me plenty of time to look around at the Giant National Barbecue Battle Event/festival. Various vendors and companies were there; Famous Dave's, a place called Smoke Shake BBQ (which a saw several people lining up at), a Johnsonville Sausage stand, Ben and Jerry's food truck, and many more food companies at the event. Some of the food that was listed to be available to serve were funnel cakes, ribs, philly cheese fries, different dessert treats such as deep fried oreos twinkies and cookie dough, philly cheese steak sandwiches etc.There was even live music at the event that I saw a large crowd gathered around, the singers performed some contemporary hits in their own style to what I think were musical tributes to such artists as Lorde, Adele, and more artists. The employees I interacted with were friendly to me. For instance, on my way out of the event one of the female security guards made sure to see if I was going to come back to the event because she appeared to want to help me if I planned on coming back later in the day. I forgot the exact time I left yet I think it was sometime between 3 and 4 p.m. that I left the Giant National Capital Barbecue Battle Event.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music BrillianceJune 28, 2017

This review is from: Believer (MP3 Music)
I admit that it was my husband who influenced me to be interested in this terrific song Believer by Imagine Dragons. Believer by Imagine Dragons has the perfect blend mashup of rock music and elements of indie rock. I still have yet to make out the full meaning of this song, yet I am guessing that it has something to do with feeling empowered andor powerful, being always ready to face life and rush towards making the best out of life regardless of what transpires.

I admit that this song Feels by Calvin Harris feat. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry, and Big Sean has a very summery and electronic feel to it. I admit that I still have yet to decipher the full meaning of the song but I am guessing that Feels has something to do with carefree fun andor love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Matches Its TitleJune 28, 2017

This review is from: Cleaner (Amazon Video)
The Cleaner stars Samuel L Jackson as Tom Cutler, a business owner of a crime scene cleanup operation. Cutler juggles his business with being a single father to his daughter Rose Cutler (Keke Palmer) who he is close to. Tom Cutler’s life changes dramatically when he is asked to clean up a murder scene that belongs to the home of Ann Norcut (Eva Mendes). Cutler unknowingly becomes embroiled in a cover up scandal that has him understandably keep his guard up with law enforcement employees Eddie Lorenzo (Ed Harris) and Detective Jim Vargas (Luis Guzman). Of course, there are other actors and actresses involved in this very serious type of film. The caveat to the Cleaner is that some people who have read quite a few fiction books may be adept at guessing who is responsible for the cover up early on. For instance, my husband has read a significant amount of science fiction stories and he accurately made a guess early in the film who he thought was responsible for the cover-up. He still watched a significant portion of the Cleaner film with me as it has a suspenseful plot, it is just that I had to admit the one caveat that other highly observant people such as my husband might pick up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Choir Music Mixed With DramaJune 28, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: As It Is in Heaven (Amazon Video)
I’m very aware that I’m far from the target audience for this film, yet the writer in me indirectly influenced my interest in this film. Additionally, seeing one of the locations (Austria)pertaining to the movie plots of this film got my husband and I talking about the location as he has family members on his mother’s side who live in Austria. Additionally,I admit that I more or less decided to check out the film As It Is in Heaven because it was listed to be one of the films that Michael Nyqvist starred in as music conductor Daniel Dareus. The character of Daniel Dareus has a very difficult childhood before going on to achieve much music accomplishments. After coming close to death, Daniel Dareus ends up moving back to a small town in Sweden where he grew up and meeting church pastor Stig (Niklas Falk) . His life is changed even further when he is invited to help other various church members with their choir singing Lena (Frida Hallgren), Inger (Ingela Olsson), Arne (Lennart Jahkel), Siv (Ylva Loof), Gabriela (Helen Sjoholm). The lives of some of the church members are very dramatic to say the least . The character of Holmfridd (Mikhael Rahm) has to endure unnecessary taunting from fellow church goer Arne over his weight. Inger is married to Stig,loves him a lot, and she bravely confronts him about some of the vices he has as more of a loving way to try to help him see that he is harder on himself than necessary. Gabriela enjoys participating in the church choir but has to go through so much just to be able to do this because of the dynamics with her husband Connie (Per Morberg). Arne has a relative named Tore (Andre Sjoberg) who shows interest in joining the choir group one day and some of the other members are reluctant to accept him until Daniel helps convince them to allow Tore to join. Lena is the character in the group with a heart of gold who treats other people in a considerate manner yet she also has to endure much judgement from Siv who like Stig is harsher on herself than she has to be.

This review is from: Wonder Woman (Amazon Video)
I have to properly credit my amazing husband for persuading me to check out the Wonder Woman film. The character of Wonder Woman named Diana (Gal Gadot), a princess of a land called Themyscira wants very much to be a powerful fighter and even her aunt (Robin Wright) convinces Diana’s mom to eventually consider the importance of her training. Chris Pine also makes an appearance in the film as American Pilot Steve Trevor. Steve Trevor dramatically changes Diana’s life when their paths cross.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original 80s songJune 21, 2017

This review is from: True Colors (MP3 Music)
I admit that this song True Colors by Cyndi Lauper is very uplifting and is a summery 80s tune. I like that the lyrics communicate a positive message of seeing the beauty and goodness within oneself from time to time.


A Thrilling Song But Be Careful Where You Play The Song
               I admit that I unexpectedly found out about this song Wild Thoughts by DJ Khaled feat. Rihanna & Bryson Tiller online and through a local free paper in the Washington D.C. area. This song is a daring music tribute to Carlos Santana’s Maria Maria song  feat. Wyclef Jean. I say daring because the lyrics seem to be a shocking yet novel R&B tune that lives up to its title when it comes to how two people feel about each other romantically speaking while Maria Maria is more of a love song on the conservative side.
