Life's Missing Instruction Manual : The Guidebook You Should Have Been Given at Birth

by Joe Vitale

A gentle reading book that refreshes the ideas of elder wisdoms that we should apply in our daily living. I like the fact the ideas are presented in short sections, making it the perfect travel or bed-stand book. You can read a few pages at a time and not loose context of a story line.

It reads fast and left me wanting more, so I turned back to page one and started over. Each read shows shows me something different that I can connect to at that very moment.

The Everything Feng Shui De-Cluttering Book: Simplify Your Environment and Your Life (Everything Series)

by Katina Z. Jones

This little book is an easy reader. It is full of the beneficial tips and ideas for fast paced lifestyles. This was the first book I ever read on Feng Shui and it was a perfect starter book. I keep it now as a quick reference and refer to it often to refresh my mind and get new ideas without digging into the deeper subject books. This book makes a great gift to someone who has not been introduced to Feng Shui.

Antique Trader Book Collector's Price Guide (Antique Trader's Book Collector's Price Guide)

by Richard Russell

Book is a good resource for a quick study. The most helpful chapter is on high ticket rarities with a listing of some high demand books that while rare .. are still circulating quite frequently. It’s a good one to check out of the library, but don’t rush out to buy this one .. in my humble opinion.

Simple yet thought provoking (rated 5 stars)

100 Ways to Motivate Yourself : Change Your Life Forever

I really enjoyed this audio. It’s one of few that are an easy listen while your doing other things. It doesn’t demand 100% attention and you can catch something new with every listen. By putting just one or two suggestions into practice you slowly sow habits to build character. A+ audio for busy people.

I bought the DVD (rated 4 stars)

Stardust (Widescreen Edition)

I never read the book, didn’t even know there was one until reading the reviews below. So I had no standard to compare it to.

I found this movie full of cute jokes that were safe for the kids, a bit of action, a touch of suspense, some fairy tale magic, a love story, a coming of age.

I found the characters refreshingly unique – I mean a gay sky pirate that captures lighting is not one I had seen before.

It is just a little bit long to keep the kids fully engaged from start to finish but we all have enjoyed watching it several times.

It was a keeper in our family.

The Last Mimzy (Widescreen Infinifilm Edition)

Another one to add to the rent list (rated 3 stars)

The Last Mimzy (Widescreen Infinifilm Edition)

by Robert Shaye

The previews of this moving looked so magical and mystical. The scenery and special effects looked spectacular. And they were. And that is where the ohh ahhhh left. The characters felt dry, other then the main character (the adorable little girl – who was more convincing then the rest of the cast) and the stuffed bunny that made these little cooing sounds was the best supporting actor for this flick.

This movie had a ton of potential but fell short of delivering.

It is another worth watching .. once.

Rent it - don't buy it (rated 3 stars)

The Astronaut Farmer

by Michael Polish

Got this for the kids (although I am a bigger fan of most of their movies then they are.) The movie is a bit slow moving for the younger viewers with long unnecessary dialogue. The story line is a bit weak for the older viewers. The scenery fails to capture the imagination and overall it was one of those movies you sort of say .. yea it was worth watching .. once.

Why I recommend "The Secret"

The Secret

by Rhonda Byrne

The information contained within “The Secret” has been found through other various books and writings. That much is no secret. But never before have I seen a theatrical production that is captivating to watch and spiritually vibrant while delivering information.

The sequence in which they deliver many pieces of the secret puzzle is one of the most eye-opening deliveries available.

Although I can say I was already familiar with most of the information presented, the way in which it was laid out and tied together with a fundamental key to unlock that which I already knew, but did not recognize.

This movie made it to my “gratitude wall”. I will be forever grateful to have this movie in my collection.
