The Snake Pit: Jr. High Can Be Torture by Author Donna Dillon






The Snake Pit: Jr. High Can Be Torture by  Author Donna Dillon 









This is a short but powerful tale about high school is not as safe as anyone thinks, bullies come in all shapes, sizes and popularity. There are little angels that are are really wicked and the adults can not see the truth in front of them. It is an excellent story and a resource to be taught in classrooms everywhere.

The writing was light and serious at the time. A possible scenario and the friendships and peer pressure of the popular vs. the normal students is a tricky situation, to explain to teenagers. But you as an inspiring author explained it in an entertaining non fictional story about bullying, yet could come true.

The message comes across clear, All the community should be involved to stop it. and not hide their heads in the sand. The 21st century definitely needs more stories like these to teach the children the consequences and the aftermath of events that are mean and cruel. How the effects reverberant in the present and future of all involved and to receive consequences for the ones who do not stop bullying and violence before it gets out of control. This reader highly recommends this author and her books, she is wise beyond her years with her insight. This book can be read by all ages.

Songs for the Lord, by Author Linda Bonney Olin






As a reader I was looking for an uplifting book to heal a broken spirit. Times were dark and health low, so when I came upon this book, with it amazing abilities to listen to music of instrumental tunes playing and read the lyrics at the same time, I was delightful surprised. This reader have not listened to Christian songs in a while, as I went away from the church due to excuses or life responsibilities taking priority over being in touch with the Almighty and self.

I listened to the music and read the poignant lyrics, written by the author and I felt as if I was once again a little girl worshipping at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City or a favorite local church. In awe with the wondrous sensations of being one with the Almighty. As the instrumental sounds seeped deep into thy vessel and the vibrations came, it became a healing balm and an enriching experience.

The chorus of the instruments playing and the reading of the lyrics reach deep within this reader and I was lost to the wonder of hope, faith and divine love, once again. Gain faith in humanity with tears of joy pouring forth from my eyes and soul.

Even if you are not Christian, this is beautiful instrumental gift, as if the angels are singing, listen carefully you might hear them.

I highly recommend this book for all ages and all faiths. There one or more instrumental melodies or a songs that will reach into the reader's/listener's deepest recesses of a weary mind and the soothing sounds of the instrumental chords as well as the inspiring words may recharge you to believe in the impossible is the possible.

An Artist, Angels Cried and Dedication for Valentine's Day

I have the pleasure to work with the artist Matthew C. Nelson and promote his artwork and The Grove Comic Book, it started as a relationship as a healing balm to wounds that will take a long time to heal and continues today. For 2013 my acts of kindness were side tracked when someone threw a glass brick into my glass house of beliefs. At first I was angry by this person accusations then as time  progressed, one door closed, another one opened and I learn a valuable it is better to forgive then to hold grudges.

I love to promote others, help others and be a teacher when someone is in need. For 2 years,I enjoyed to  to promote Indie Authors with their own promotions and many other unforgotten deeds that led to memories and a fulfilment of a toasty feeling of accomplishment to me. Tingling sense of being a light to another. My purpose fulfilled to bring peace to the universe and community  in general. I am still involved with promoting, but for the month of February I decided a hard working artist with untapped potential needs to be promote.

He is hard working and resides  in a financial struggling economic area of employment. He wants to be an excellent provider for his family and he has alot of talents, as an author and one of the contributors to the Grove Comic on Facebook and the anthology of Angels Cried available at Amazon.com and so much more.  The Facebook page of Angels Cried has their own promotion, they are asking for 500 likes before February 1st, they are at 92, so MTMC2FE decided to adopt their page and ask that all go and click a like to show support to the world that the angels did not depart in vain. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Angels-Cried/291375294299301?fref=ts

The artist was there on my birthday and gave me a wonderful gift and a story about Silvertoe, a dragon. The story board is on my personal Facebook Page and I have been posting his other artwork on Message to my Children Facebook Wall.  I and he have been working together developing employment opportunities for him, as a children's author, an artist.

Memories and Plastics Secrets


I remember as a little girl how my father would use different equipment, soldering irons and welding tools to fix a broken item, from a digital board of a computer, to the back of the old RCA tube televisions and other items. On Saturdays as a treat he would take us to visit his friend's garage. Most girls did not like the smell and environment of a mechanic's and body shop, I did not either, but it was the quality time as a female I would have to enjoy with my father and brothers.  I learn a lot about cars and fell in love with the older models of cars, like Chevy and Ford, which were easily to repair with the right tools and expertise.

So after I finished cleaning the shed, I went on the Internet and wonder where people could purchase items such as welding equipment and other supplies. Surfing around the sites I learn about the process of welding plastic work pieces together. It is a very common process for joining plastics. One company that interested me was http://www.heatstaking.com. They seem to be updated and carried the latest inventory. I check out their events page and thought my father would be in his glory attending the show and learning about the different machines that the experts are using now to build everything that uses plastic and other materials. Also I ponder about the education required for this specialized skill and which is the future and global requirement for this generation and next will be.  

They would have to learn about small to large creation from toys to harbor freight and in-between.
I look around more and came across the Wikipedia page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_welding,
If I was younger and decided to go back to trade school I would study the knowledge of how to do ultrasonic welding, where a press is used to put the two parts to be assembled under pressure.
Placed in a nest or anvil where the parts are placed and allowing the high frequency vibration to be directed to the interfaces and mould together with clean lines.

An ultrasonic stack composed of a converter or piezoelectric transducer, an optional booster and a sonotrode (US: Horn). All three elements of the stack are specifically tuned to resonate at the same exact ultrasonic frequency (Typically 20, 30, 35 or 40 kHz). I like holding an item in my hands, and look at the smooth lines that flow throughout the item. All done by specialized machines with complex parts and produce an excellent usable product.  It is funny how cleaning out a shed brings about knowledge and I found a site I can recommend to my dad’s friend’s son, my brother-in-law to investigated as he is in need of replacing his welding equipment to meet state requirements.

Bombay Bear by M.J. Higgy







I as a reader first saw this book by M.J. Higgy in a Facebook event, the author was auctioning it off to help the victims of the Storm Sandy Hurricane that struck the northeastern coast in the earlier winter of 2012, and I like the cover, and downloaded it into my kindle. Sometimes life throws us curve balls and as a reader I was looking for something to distract my mind and thought it been a while since I read a children's book. I opened my kindle and picked Bombay Bear.  This book has an author and artistic touch to it and uplifts the spiritual and awakens the inner childhood wonderment of readers of all ages.

When I first open the cover to the back, I was pleasurably surprised by the beautiful colorful artwork about Bombay Bear. The story is about an orphaned bear that is controlled by an evil performer to dance for alms. The little bear was performing to bring money to his master, the evil man, but he was not bringing enough in for the begging bowl.  After a while the performer is tired and desires to travel to a new location and set up a new act of the dancing bear performance to increase his wealth.  There is an India tale mixed into this story, a short but powerful narrative about good and bad, light and dark and karma, he sees a way to increase his riches but at what risk? .

As a reader I do not want to spoil the brief but entertaining tale. As a mother and if grandmother I would recommended this delightful treat of an ebook or paperback  to my children and others for it has valuable morals in it and explains that everyone's actions will bring about good or bad consequences.  Karma is alive and it is a gift not to be played with. The only flaw is the story is too short to sit with children and relished over the meanings of the lessons woven into the plot.

 It is a starter and this author should continue to bring books like this alive as the worlds' children need knowledge and adults to explain morals and though good story telling it is easier to teach which choices  bring about which consequences. This author seems to understand this niche. Highly recommend readers, parents and loved ones to preview the author's present and future publications. Goggle Author M.J. Higgy and the book, Bombay Bear. The artwork alone is worth the investment, as well as the gem of a story to share with others.
