Re: Sister Wives' Meri Brown Talks Catfishing Drama on Season Finale: The Person Became "Verbally Abusive"

bookluver321 — Mon, 16 Nov 2015 13:48:17 -0000

Feeling badly for Meri. She obviously needs to feel companionship... who wouldn't. While watching this episode I kept waiting for Cody to at least give her a hug or something, to show he at least gave a damn. Nothing. He just sat there and stared at her. She doesn't need to run off on her own, she needs a husband who gives a damn about her.

Great post! I think it is incredibly important for bullying to be prevented everywhere- especially in places of work and learning! There is a great book about hatred/bullying that I think everyone needs to read (bully/those being bullied). The book is titled, "Creating Hate: How It Is Done, How To Destroy It: A Practical Handbooks" by Nancy Omeara. It is a must read!

Great article, and goes along well with a book I just finished reading on how to build relationships with your child titled, "Little Things Long Remembered: Making Your Children Feel Special Every Day," by Susan newman Ph.D. I have really tried hard to focus on creating a stronger bond with my children and am always looking for great tips. I love the ideas you give here, this will also help me in strengthening my relationship with them by turning a negative situation into a positive one... thank you!

I completely understand what you are going through. It is not fun sometimes watching your children grow up and leave. It is exciting to see them do nice things with their lives, but you always miss them. I wanted to suggest to you a great book written by Christian author, Johann Christoph Arnold titled, "Rich in Years" http://www.richinyears.com. He has a lot of great advice for empty nesters. It is nice to get advice from someone who is on the same journey and talks candidly about his own struggles with this next phase of life!

Re: 7 Romance Novels with Super Awkward Animals On The Cover

bookluver321 — Wed, 13 Nov 2013 00:24:06 -0000

I love books that have animals in them. Maybe it is only because I am an animal lover, but I feel that animals always brighten up a story. I just read a fun romance, "A Thousand Years of Johnny Von" by Edith M. Cortese. It's about a girl who lives in Hollywood who walks dogs for a living. While out and about she stumbles across a movie star who she falls head over heals for. I loved the great historical romances that enter-twined with the main character's present situation, but especially fell in love with the main character's relationship with one very sweet chocolate Labrador. http://www.trumpetboypress....

bookluver321 — Wed, 06 Nov 2013 23:03:56 -0000

@NotMarkTwain, I couldn't agree with you more... life doesn't always have to have end happily, those are the times you learn the most, in my opinion. This reminds me of a book that I recently read, "A Thousand Years of Johnny Von" by Edith M. Cortese. It's not your typical romantic comedy. It's has plenty of romance, but the main character in the book ends up single and content! I loved how realistic it was because that is how life is. http://www.trumpetboypress....

Re: Top 10 Inspirational Books – May 2013

bookluver321 — Fri, 24 May 2013 14:43:23 -0000

Great list! Can't wait to check a few of them out! This list makes me think about one of my favorite authors, Susan Spira, author of three inspirational books, "Happy Shorts", "The Happy Tips Book", and "One-Liners For Life." Her books promote personal growth through humor and inspiration! In her latest book, "One-Liners For Life," I learned that people tend to overlook the obvious in life and need to be reminded of what’s important. To me it was my family and friends. Changed my life!

Re: Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop: Maya Angelou Releases 7th Memoir

bookluver321 — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 23:04:03 -0000

I haven't heard about her memoirs, but am definitely going to check them out. in fact, I just finished reading a great one last night "Ring EXchange - Adventures of a Multiple Marrier" by Pam Evans- A book about self-discovery and a reflection of past choice to learn life lessons from. I think that is what I love most about memoirs written by women, being able to learn from other women is amazing!

Re: The 31-Book Birthday Giveaway Starts Today! Tell Us Your Passion Project & Win a Free Copy of The Alchemist

bookluver321 — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:51:04 -0000

Happy Birthday! I haven't yet decided what my passion project is- I do know that I am a very creative person and I want to do something with that. Up until recently, after reading a very inspirational book titled, "Stop Playing Safe: Rethink Risk. Unlock the Power of Courage. Achieve Outstanding Success," by Margie Warrell, the thought of making changes in my life hadn't even entered my mind. I am now learning how to better define my sense of purpose and am pursuing more inspiring goals. I am getting closer to change!

Thanks Jim. I agree. I am learning that stepping out of my comfort zone also has positive results for me too. I am getting better at it. Thanks again for your great post! I hope you have a chance to check out Margie Warrell's book. I think you would like it a lot, it has definitely been a life changer for me.

Re: So, What’s Stopping You?

bookluver321 — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 02:52:07 -0000

I had to laugh as I read your article, because I feel like I come up with a lot of ideas that others tend to use. My problem, just like you have stated, is that I have problems executing the ideas (mainly out of fear) and someone always beats me to the punch. I just finished reading a book titled, "Stop Playing Safe: Rethink Risk. Unlock the Power of Courage. Achieve Outstanding Success," by Margie Warrell that has taught me how to step out of my comfort zone a little. It has taught me to embrace a ‘Courage Mindset’ to speak up with confidence in every situation.

I am patiently waiting for a really great book to come out in March, "Stelladaur: Finding Tir Na Nog" by S. L. Whyte- it is supposed to be an intriguing coming of age story. In the meantime I have been looking for some other great books to check out. Thank you for recommending these. I am especially excited to check out Maeve Binchy's book- the cover art is just to die for!

It sounds like you had such a fabulous childhood. I too had a love of books and still today take any minute that I have to delve into a good book. Tonight I finished up a fictional spiritual novel, "Quest for the Lost Name" by George Makris. Maybe it is a mix of the great Christmas break, or the fact that story is just so fascinating, but I will always remember this book. So good.

Great post, I couldn't agree more. I just recently read a great leadership book titled "Green Beans & Ice Cream" by Bill Sims, Jr.. The book also talks about positive influences in the workforce and that positive reinforcement is also one of the most powerful forces on the planet.

Like Brittany, I love "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers as well! Very inspirational. Another great spiritual/inspirational book that is on my list is "Quest for the Lost Name" by George Makris. It is the kind of book that grabs you from the first line and keeps you going until the end!

Hi Dan. I do not have a site or a blog, would love to get one going some day soon though. For now I enjoy reading other people's blogs- another relaxing thing I am doing for myself each night. Thanks again for letting me stop by to comment.

Wonderful post! I have found that one important step in my personal growth goal, is to take more time out for myself. Reading has become my latest passion and I try to especially find good books that will help enlighten my life- for example my latest favorite "Quest for the Lost Name" by George Makris. Entertaining, yet spiritual. I have found that by NOT stretching myself too thin, I am able to accomplish more and am able to complete more of my goals.

Re: Contest: Win a copy of The Art of Assassin's Creed III!

bookluver321 — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 01:47:31 -0000

I just finished Carlton Davis' latest book titled, "The Art Dockuments" - a wonderful book full of fun short stories about the history of LA's Art Dock, and get to peek inside the lives of 33 artists- always living on he edge. I now have a huge appreciation for what goes in to make such beautiful art! I have to say that these are really beautiful. Being the art and history fanatic that I am, I would love to win a copy of this! Plus, I have a 12 year old son who spends hours trying to master such beautiful images of beautiful historical art (always drawing knights) and I have to say he is getting pretty good. This book would be something that he would be completely thrilled to have as well.http://artdock.net/

I love when you find a great book, so great that it makes you want to stay up late to read it because you can't just put me down. That is exactly how I felt as I was reading "Quest for the Lost Name" by George Makris, a fabulous book full of mystery, romance, thrill- it was magical! Now I can't wait to check out "A Notorious Countess Confesses." Thanks so much for suggesting this!
