Deuteronomy. Content Warning.
It has been awhile but here is another critique of an old book entitled 'Deuteronomy' written by a famous old writer. This is quite the story that teaches us how to judge and reminds us in how to keep those famous laws that we all need to follow and in keep in mind. We all must keep the faith in what we do everyday. There are also stories of how crimes will be punished and blessing will be given and even shared in order to be in safety. To me this is an introduction in how to live our lives.

What is Love?
What is Love? Is love an emotion that is easy yet hard to show? Is it a feeling that just comes out? Love is what it is and can be shown in anyway that one may show it. Love of all persons, places, things and ideas, and this is not a grammar lesson (haha!). Love is a chance just to share how one feels at a particular moment in one's living life. I guess there could be some out there that could share false feelings of this emotion, but I think that is rare for we all know that we are all loved and being cared for by one overwhelming identity that we all feel love for and that he loves us even if at times of hardships. Love is everywhere.

What is Christmas?
What is Christmas? Christmas to me is a season of hope and love. To be honest when I was younger it was a time of receiving for it was hard to be a giver when as a child you did not have much to (spend) on others. It was not till I was much older that giving became more important for some reason I did not want to be forgotten by family and friends. You do not have to give a big present as long as you give from the heart. I would at times just to receive a special card especially if it was homemade. I like homemade items. Well back to What is Christmas and the season of giving and what it means to me?

Good Sunday morning!
Good Sunday morning! This is the start of a new day and week. What are your thoughts for the coming week. Sunday morning is a time to reflect on the past week while thinking what is and can happen in the coming week. We all need a chance just to be and not worry about what has happened and will happen for things will work out one way or another. Just be.

My Gastronomy Tube
'My Gastronomy Tube' is a children's picture book written by Kimberly Gastineau. This is the story of a young child who has trouble eating for some reason. The little boy named Tommy will learn to make some adjustments to having his tube. The pictures throughout this picture book are done with bright colors using both primary and secondary colors that shows what is occurring with Tommy and his family. 'My Gastronomy Tube' would be a good book for pediatric nurses who may need a way to explain to the child, parents and other family members of this procedure and for teachers who may have a student entering the classroom with a tube and help explain that the student is just like the other children in the class.

Baby Aviva Orangutan Diva
Here is a children's picture book entitled 'Baby Aviva Orangutan Diva' written by Hans Kullberg and illustrated by Carl Mefford. This is just simply an adorable story of an orangutan named Baby Aviva who likes to sing and likes her colors. Baby Aviva goes in search of something she needs and wants and finds out there is more. Hans has written a story that children will like for the pictures tell the story just as well as the words. As the reader you will be able to feel the emotions that are shown throughout the book. Carl uses what looks like muted colors along with the shading one does have the feeling that you are in a jungle and in for quite an adventure.

Feelings. Content Warning.
We all have various feelings about ourselves, but this critique is to describe some very basic ones as in the feelings of joy, charity, happiness, and faith. As the crayon leaves its marks we all leave our own. In joy we can feel what...

Silver Bells
Here is a critique of a novel by LuAnn Rice that has been out for quite a while entitled 'Silver Bells' and it is a romance/family story that has also been a Hallmark Christmas movie for the past several years. Believe it or not I have read this book several times during the Christmas season. It is the story of Christy and his two children, Danny and Bridget and a woman named Catherine. Christy and his children live and work on a tree farm in Canada, but every December they go to New York City and sell the Christmas trees. Catherine is a woman who needs to be able to let go with something that she loves and always will. Christy also has to learn how to let go for Danny has an issue that he needs to solve.

Mormon. Content Warning.
I am currently reading 'The Book of Mormon' and I have read similar stories in another book that offers the same yet different characters that are even mentioned in 'The Book of Mormon'. This is one book that one could say is a supplement to another great book of literature. One can learn to see ideas in a different light. I am not Mormon, but I have known a few, but not Donny and Marie and the Osmond brothers except through their specials and television show. 'The Book of Mormon' is a read that reads like the other good book.

What is Black Friday?. Content Warning.
So, what is Black Friday? This is a day set aside for the first day of the Christmas Shopping days. The day after Thanksgiving we all seem to rush out to the many sales that the stores are putting on in order for us to try and save on all the big-ticket items that may or may not be Christmas presents for whomever. Always in a way will be a Day of Infamy.
