This review is from: In Your Room (MP3 Music)
For whatever reason, this catchy pop love song that is In Your Room by the Bangles started to spontaneously play in my mind when I was listening to some female group songs less than a few days ago. Of course, I enjoy that In Your Room is a cheery love song coupled with the exquisite singing vocals and the well timed music and instruments. This song is worthwhile to listen to whether you are an eclectic music listener andor listen to 80’s love songs.

This song 2U by David Guetta feat. Justin Bieber has a cheerful electronic and club love song vibe. I have to credit the Pop Song Professor website blog for introducing me to this vivid song. I also like that this song gives off a blissful type of energy love song with intense vocals.

This review is from: Show Stopper (MP3 Music)
This song Show Stopper by Danity Kane feat. Yung Joc gives me nostalgia in a joyous way as I first heard this song both via local radio and television around 2006/2007 when my husband and I were living on the Mayport Naval Base (through the navy). The quality vocals/collaboration and the r&B/club music in Show Stopper give the song an exciting and carefree vibe. Additionally, the music video to this song is very fitting for Show Stopper by Danity Kane feat. Yung Joc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dance Pop BrillianceJune 11, 2017
This review is from: Power (MP3 Music)
I admit that I unexpectedly discovered this song The Power by Little Mix feat. Stormzy via youtube when I saw it being featured while I played another music video. I enjoy this song because it reminds me of their Wings song. I am only guessing the meaning of this song but I am wondering if this song is maybe pointing to a positive theme of spiritual power to overcome challenges and transform them into greater vehicles for triumph/victory/valor. Regardless of the meaning, this song is very upbeat and is great to listen to for a happy music playlist.

Tips and Traps When Buying a Home (Tips & Traps)
Tips and Traps When Buying a Home (Tips & Traps)
by Robert Irwin
Edition: Paperback
Price: $18.03
62 used & new from $1.35

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gem of A Find At My Local Public LibraryJune 11, 2017
I unexpectedly came across this book Tips & Traps When Buying A Home (4th Edition) by Robert Irwin recently when browsing through a local library on my way to one of the grocery stores nearby. My husband and I both see the good in our current apartment and intend to purchase a home by January 1, 2026 or sooner. Coming across this book is important to me because there are so many online articles by gifted writers giving advice about homebuying when there is no way of proving if some of these well-meaning writers are only trying to support a friend, romantic partner, andor a family member who is an apartment landlord that makes more money from tenants who are renters compared to homeowners. Some of the areas covered in this book; why to get an ARM in a falling interest rate market and a fixed rate mortgage in a rising interest rate market (page 4), picking the right home (page 47), relying on yourself and how much to offer (pages 82-83), a solid preapproval letter compared to a large deposit and must a deposit be in cash (pages 100-101), custom made plans compared to do-it-yourself plans (pages 142-143), insurance warranted homes, getting a home inspection, and/or finding a good builder (pages 184-185), and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Regardless Of Your Political Beliefs…June 11, 2017
This book Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind The Rise of the Radical Right by Jane Meyer caught my attention as a way to help me further understand that world outside of my background. A sampler of what this book delves into; the controversial mention of “welfare cheaters”, Olin Foundation and “government anti-poverty” programs are mentioned (pages 112), the Koch Industries and Koch Industries’ spokeswoman(public relations rep) Melissa Cohlmia (page 138), Wendy Gramm, an economist and director at the giant Texas energy company Enron who was the wife of Senator Phil Gramm, listed to be a powerful Texas Republican (page 154), mention of George Mason University as the largest research university in Virginia and Koch funds, and the mention of a West Virginia university professor by the name of Russell Sobel (pages 155-156), politician Tim Phillips and the Koch network (pages 278-279), Sheldon Adelson, New Gingrich, Mitt Romney, and Foster Friess (pages 318-319), and more.

The Magic of Journaling: How to Write Your Dreams Into Reality
The Magic of Journaling: How to Write Your Dreams Into Reality
Price: $2.99

5.0 out of 5 stars SuperbJune 11, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I admit that this kindlebook of The Magic of Journaling; How to Write Your Dreams Into Reality by Natalie Edwards caught my attention both because of the reasonable price and my increasing awareness that I truly am creating my reality the longer I am alive regardless of how much I acknowledge it. I actually unintentionally noticed this when I was archiving on my blogs and looking at some of what I wrote online as recent as 2 years ago and also around 2011, 2012 etc. Yes, I am very much aware that there is conflicting/contradictory information/well-meaning/subjective online articles that imply to be your true unfiltered self and other writings that imply that you have to care/watch how you conduct yourself/how you are perceived because of what others think of you and/or what they can choose to do for you for professional reasons. As a result, I intuitively intend to just aim to remember the times I have unintentionally created my reality to both challenging and positive results, make connections with that, and still continue doing so by tracing what I have written and/or what I have done in the past, care little what others think and speak my mind as long as my actions and intent are harm-free and turn to resources such as this to fulfill my intent to take a more significant role in taking control of my destiny/being the captain of the ship that is my life. A sampler in what is in this healing and enlightening kindlebook; It is fine to write for just five to seven minutes as long as it is consistent, some exciting journal prompts such as if I had (money amount included in the kindlebook) in the bank, what would I be doing each day (this alone gave me an idea to have fun/play with different money amounts), I am so happy and grateful for…, the projects I will complete in 30/60/90 days…., If I was connected to my highest self every day I would be…., If I was the woman I know I was born to be what would I be doing each day (obviously, men would tailor journal prompt to their gender), what do I finally admit to myself that I want… and many more healing prompts. Natalie Edwards has a helpful recommended reading chapter, using other ideas for the magic of journaling theme such as what are my goals for the different areas of my life, if there were no limits what would I be doing, what are the things I’ve already achieved in my life that I am most proud of etc. and more.

A Curious Invitation: The Forty Greatest Parties in Fiction
A Curious Invitation: The Forty Greatest Parties in Fiction
Offered by HarperCollins Publishers
Price: $7.99

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect if You Like to Read About Parties andor intend to include Parties in Some of Your Writing,June 11, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This kindlebook of A Curious Invitation; The Forty Greatest Parties In Fiction by Suzette Field is entertaining. There is informative detail included that the author of the Great Gatsby actually did not become famous/recognized for the Great Gatsby story until after his death. I also did not know, until the purchase of this kindlebook, Jane Austen had a completely different love life than what was featured in her books. This was a helpful confirmation for me to know because I had already intuitively sensed even before obtaining this kindlebook that my creativity takes off even more when I allow myself to write more than just what my life is about. Additionally, works are featured from writers who became affluent enough in real-life to travel, study art, and indulge in live music events etc.

The Little Guide to Spirit Guides: Who They Are, What They Do and How We Can Connect with Them
Price: $3.99

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal Whether This is Your First Spirit Guide Book andor even if You Have Obtained Other Spirit Guide Books BeforeJune 11, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This kindlebook of the Little Guide to Spirit Guides: Who They Are, What They Do, and How We Can Connect With Them by Clare McNaul is obviously good to get if you believe in spirit guides andor at least open to the idea of spirit guides. The names of different guides are featured ; protectors, teachers, doctor-chemist, runner guides etc. The author helpfully lists that protector guides offer protection from negativity and provide strength, energy and courage especially when asked. Teacher guides, as the author puts it, can come and go throughout different intervals of a person’s life, bring different talents and skills to our lives that they worked on and mastered on earth. It is helpful to know that teacher guides can show a person lessons in a life path, why certain events/experiences transpire the way they do and what a person is meant to learn from those experiences. Doctor/chemist guides can become more noticeable to a person when they take greater interest/make positive changes in relation to their physical body/health. Runner guides can also come and go out of a person’s life and can even help with matters such as finding an apartment, love to be kept busy, like being given a challenge, and are usually more aligned with the vibration of the earth. McNaul also lists that spirit guides can often connect with us through gut feelings, hunches, signs and symbols both in our waking life and in dreams, coincidences, nudging and arranging, by using our intuition. I also like that the author takes the time to elaborate on how to connect with our spirit guides by dedicating a chapter to it (out of consideration for the author my intuitive heart is influencing me to leave out extensive detail of this chapter).

This kindlebook of Psychics, Healers, and Mediums: A Journalist, a Road Trip, and Voices From the Other Side by Jennifer Weigel caught my attention because it seemed to be an open-minded kindlebook of how the author views the world of psychics, healers, and mediums. Weigel bravely and boldly touches on how even psychics are not immune to having rivalries with each other, difficult emotions with each other. There is an example of a psychic’s past dug up by a rival psychic but their handiwork was cleverly hidden at first. This is believable to me because I know from firsthand experience how mental strength and resilience can come in handy when a rival(s) andor critic(s) may use their friends, family members, andor even professional/career allies to target you online in something as innocent as a comment that you post to an article andor review shared online. Fortunately, I have the luxury of ignoring the person/group of people, intuitively/logically responding, andor just leaving well enough alone to let my strong/good karma assist me in prevailing/ experiencing a triumph(s). However, even I can easily see how someone that is a high profile psychic may not have that same luxury due to their fame forcing them to giving a response whether they want to or not. Weigel recalls when one of her friends Marie was getting a reading from Echo Bodine. One of Echo Bodine’s spirit guides that came around about seven or eight years ago named Lilli looks like Glinda from the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz. Echo Bodine has also had clients who have psychic kids who can see into the future. The mention of some family members of Echo Bodine are also in this kindlebook via the title The Other Bodines. Some of the following other psychics, healers, mediums featured in this kindlebook; Rebecca Rosen, Concetta Bertoldi, Thomas John, Paul Selig, Dr. Judith Orloff, Caroline Myssand more.

She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful Examples of Staying the CourseJune 11, 2017
I happily used one of my Amazon audible credits to obtain the audible audiobook version of She Persisted:13 American Woman Who Changed the World by Chelsea Clinton and illustrated by Alexandra Boiger (publisher Listening Library). The audiobook version is also narrated by Chelsea Clinton and the length is just 10 minutes, which packs a good amount of information even in such a brief time. Luminaries such as Nelly Bly, Virginia Apgar, Maria Tallchief, Florence Griffith Joyner, Oprah Winfrey, Sonia Sotomayor, and more are featured in She Persisted. Obviously, this audiobook is going to appeal to many teenagers and young children, however this audiobook is created in a way to where multiple people of many ages can find inspiration as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tragic Yet ComplexJune 11, 2017

This review is from: Magnolia (Amazon Video)
I admit that I took a chance in seeing the Magnolia film after finding out that Tom Cruise was in it as a character by the name of Frank T.J. Mackey. Mackey ,to say the least, seemingly takes pride at getting what he wants when it comes to a certain part of his personal life or so it seems. However, his character is far from the only outrageous character in the film. There is Julianne Moore who plays the character of Linda Partridge. On the surface, by American standards, Linda Partridge should be happy because she does possess the mainstream ideal of beauty and financial success. However, the viewer is treated to why she feels the way she does and it is completely different from why it is ideal. Linda Partridge is married to Earl Partridge (Jason Robards) who is fighting for his life and is being looked after by his loyal home caretaker Phil Parmer (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Former Quiz kid Donnie Smith (William H. Macy) is trying to find his way through life in California, professionally speaking, after things go differently than planned with his employer Solomon (Alfred Molina). Stanley Spector (Jeremy Blackman) is the current quiz kid on the tv show still airing. This seems harmless enough but Spector is pretty much treated as a machine more than a human being and evidence of this is seen when he asks Cynthia (Felicity Huffmann) what seems like a trivial concern yet is brushed off. Jimmy Gator (Phillip Baker Hall) works on the Quiz kid tv show, is married to Rose Gator (Melinda Dillon), and is estranged from his daughter Claudia Wilson Gator (Melora Walters). At first, the viewer is left wondering why things are so tense between Jimmy Gator and his daughter Claudia Gator. Then there is police officer Jim Kurring (John C. Reilly) who is dedicated to his job, has good intentions, and treats the people he is faced with in his job fairly even he is placed in very dangerous situations. Kurring is shown keeping his calm even when being screamed at/yelled at by one of the women named Marcie (Cleo King) who he interfaces with for one of his house calls. I understand that Cleo King was just doing her job yet it was pretty funny(wouldn’t be funny in real-life yet funny in the context of this film) the way Marcie character was required to answer when Kurring asks her a question involving a discovery he makes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why I’m Very Glad To Have Been Recommended ThisJune 11, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Fortunately, I had seen the documentary of Tales From the Script featured in my personalized Amazon recommendations section and having it available on Amazon Prime video sealed the deal for me to check it out as an aspiring writer. Some of the following featured screenwriters of Tales From the Script; brief screen features include Get Shorty (screenplay by Scott Frank 1995), screenwriters Gerald D. Pego (Angel Eyes), Mack D. Rosenthal (Mona Lisa Smile), John August (Big Fish screenplay), Joe Forte painter/filmmaker, Doug Atchison (Akeelah and the Bee), Ron Shelton (Bull Durham), Jane Anderson (How to Make An American Quilt), William Goldman, Adam Ritkin (Underdog), Bruce Joel Rubin (Ghost), Dennis Palumbo (My Favorite Year), Antoine Fisher of the Antoine Fisher story,Melville Shavelson,Frank Darabont, John Carpenter, Josh Freedman of the Sarah Connor Chronicles, and more. There is also a brief scene featuring Joan Cusack and Alec Balwin for the 2004 Screenplay of the Last Shot by Jeff Nathanson. I also like where the documentary featured the title of Foodstamp and Goodwishes-The Origins of Hollywood. My husband and I do not use foodstamps and we would not judge anyone on foodstamps. However, one of the screenwriters bravely admitted that there was a time that he had to use foodstamps before his screenwriter career gained traction, and other screenwriters featured in this section admit what they had to overcome before finding the success they seek in their screenwriting endeavors. One scriptwriter even mentioned about patience and being willing to sometimes accept that you must be willing to write if you are willing to wait at least 9 or 10 years andor even longer before you achieve your dreams when it comes to writing scripts for movies. This alone helped me to intuitively understand that not just for myself as a writer, but other people involved in writing can find company knowing that everyone’s writing path is different and some people take longer than others and that is ok. However, at least on a practical level, some of the writers admitted that it can be helpful to be open to still having some type of a full-time job while writing screenplays. This is due to the fact that some writers featured admitted to having one of their scripts take off for a movie only to have to wait months and sometimes years before another one of their scripts are noticed for a film/movie.

This review is from: Stella Days Extra (Amazon Video)
This Stella Days Extra trailer feature looked interesting for it being free. The trailer seemed to be about a very religious person who wants to open a theater to some residents who are skeptical of such a plan. I am aware that I am far from the demographic for this trailer, but as an aspiring writer I have an instinct that I must look at various spiritual andor religious viewpoints to add richness to my writings.
