Heed the Message (helping one another to spiritual awakening)

If I were to blog my life story, it would be a therapeutic healing from many wounds, physical and emotional that I have carried over 50 years. It starts as a baby born in the Christmas season to dysfunctional parents. Mom a mentally unbalanced woman with a thirst for alcohol, violence and verbal abuse. A Irish dad and  workaholic who deny the abuse behind closed doors. Why I write this as my introduction because when I listened to Annie of heed the message.com testimonial, I felt as if a kindred spirit was speaking to me.

I have experienced many sorrowful events in my youth, into adulthood. Abuse, domestic violence and homeless. Now I struggled with a illness which is still undefined to cause and cure, multiple sclerosis. Yet, in all of my darkness, even as a young child, cold, afriad and hungry, there was a divine spark, a quiet presence holding my heart and broken spirit in his hands. A gentle father to reassured me I was not alone and loved.

Be it a phantom, delusion or true Holy Ghost sent by an unseen presence or the Almighty and his son this divine spark has aided me in the darkness of darkness journeys. Alcoholism, drug abuse and self destruction it was there. In dangerous situations it was there. In loss of loved ones, and all the traumas the flame stay with me. I would loss hope and be angry and with a sense of humor he would sent an angel like Marie, Paula, and others to reignited my dying flame.

This spark burns in my soul, asked me to create books and sites under message to my children 2. An outlet to help and promote others and teach through love. I had done this. Now my spirit craves to aid a courageous warrior Annie and her daughter on their mission to spread the messages and help the homeless. Heedthemessage.com. please go to her site and see her testimony and open your hearts and wallets donate to a worthy charity. Passover and Easter is here and coming. All faiths welcome, we each have a life journey and stories to share.  Help the ministry through donations, $, items or suggestions. By the way, she did not ask for this assistance. I decided to aid her as my spirit soars with her and the divine spark in my soul. <3 br="" nbsp="">

in the darkness, my heart, spirit and mind were broken,
so shattered there was no more hope.
 No reason to continue on.

I called upon the Father and his son for mercy.

A light slowly entered me and  lite the dying flame in my heart,
 and hope came alive.

I cried and spoke to the inner voice,
it was as if my Earth father was with me, and I felt

his loving compassionate warmth of his huge arms hug and surrounded me. 

All was well again, it was  a difficult journey through the sorrows and darkness,
  one thought would never end, and we know there is another in the wings waiting for me and you,
  but nothing is impossible if we believe in the Father and his son, 
the divine spark in each of us.  Please think on this thought and help blessings 
to come to Annie and her ministry.

Tripe Dog Dare by author KS Brooks and Stephen Hise

Triple Dog Dare by KS Brooks and Stephen Hise.

There are times when the one is in a rut or wandering the desert seeing mirages and desperate for a desire to quench their thirst. Upon discovering they are mirages - poof they are unfulfilling, and one is left empty looking for a stimulating story. As an avid reader, this summer seemed to my season of mirages of not finding a book that feeds a reader’s cravings. Well I struck gold with Triple Dog Dare. I was surfing Facebook, and saw an interesting promotion for a light romantic comedy book. I observed it was written by two well-known authors with many successful books in their portfolio. Curiosity got the cat and I took the plunge.
I uploaded the book, and I can attest from page one to the last this tale was a delightful read. It involves various characters from humans to animals. The plot is a roller coaster of entertainment as the characters are all involved in suspenseful mysteries and adventures that are hilarious and complex with twists. All compelled the reader to stay up late to read. Some of the story had me laughing so hilariously, the sound of my joy awoke a 10–week-old slumbering puppy.
This tale and its plot was refreshing, one that stimulated all five senses with the twists, clichés all written in the right pretense, so that a reader is champing, scolding and laughing along with the characters, and all the mischief they all seemed to be involved in.
As a reader I do not favorite authors, I give five stars to the literature and this book Triple Dog Dare definitely deserves 5 stars.
This book is power-packed with sly remarks, clichés and refreshing perspectives of various schemes, yet written with an ease so that a reader is entertained to see what will happen next. This story was a quenching plunge of recharging. In fact after I finished this, I will go back as my puppy is sleeping and read some chapters over again as they are plotted to raise one’s spirits and open the flood gates to once again pick up a book and enjoy reading again, and let authors know they rock.
Best of all it has doggies and colorful characters and a light romantic comedy with clichés that stimulates the mind. My favorite is
“Terri chuckled. She then suggested Flashdog, about a dog who always wanted to be a legitimate dancer, but worked as a stripper to pay the bills while looking for his big break. Bianca tossed out Dog of the Dead, a book about Lo-Lou fighting a zombie-dog apocalypse. Terri blurted Pride and Prejudice and Milkbones, the same story, but told from the dog’s point of view, and with more peeing. Bianca countered with Star Dogs, a story about a young, restless dog named Lo-Luke Dogwalker who joined the rebel alliance to fight the evil Bark Vader.”

To sum it up, this is a cute and great-escape tale. It is funny while at the same time it has conflict, mystery and back stabbing, with romantic lures. All the ingredients that kept a reader
entertained for awhile. I highly recommend this book. It is written well and filled with conspiracies, schemes and of course the little white lies that spin out of control leading to a revenge sweet plot which backfires. The story is complete with delightful details and of course adorable dogs and colorful characters. All mixed in the midst of stimulating adventures. I bet you as a reader will not be disappointed with this light romantic comedy.

Cairo Caper (A Wendy Darlin Comedy Mystery) Barbara Silkstone (Author)

Description

Hot on the trail of Cleopatra’s grave all we had to do was get from Cairo to the Temple at Taporisis. Morning sunlight glared from the muddy surface of the Nile. Six floors down a body in white sprawled in a splat of blood. My first official kill as a tomb raider and it was an ashtray-rubout. How embarrassing. Professor Roger Jolley and I were in the first trimester of our third archaeological case. The adrenalin high of tomb raiding had become an addiction. As we sat in the Smiling Camel Café I noticed Roger was wearing two left shoes. Brown wingtips. We were definitely starting off on the wrong foot.

Cairo Caper (A Wendy Darlin Comedy Mystery)

Barbara Silkstone (Author)

Author Barbara Silkstone has done it again with her next book: Her writing is exciting, hilarious, and a cross between Indiana Jones and modern comedy. She has incorporated a style that compels the reader to see what wild event will happen in the next scene. The plot and setting are reminiscent of Indiana Jones.

The story is written with intelligent, sarcastic humor that keeps on rolling. Wendy Darlin, archeologist Roger Jolley and a cast of billionaire oligarchs and loopy street peddlers all race to find Cleopatra’s tomb. If you like Indiana Jones or Lara Croft adventures, you will really enjoy a lighter look at their escapades. The author adds in delightful descriptive details, and even some are clues. 

In all the witty journey make this a keeper, as Silkstone’s other books are. Her writing is light reading for those moments when you need a laugh and a decent book to pass the time and raised the spirits when all is not true with the world.

My favorite part was the invisible cat scratching rubbing against Wendy’s legs. Was it a hallucination or something more?

This reader highly recommends this book for all ages over early teens. A ‘little birdie, a messenger and her partner the author’s cat told this reader to be on the lookout for clues in the story to win many great prizes so be ready to play scavenger hunt, after reading this adventurous mystery and comedy all mixed in one suspenseful story. Clues are hidden throughout the book. 

The prizes for finding the correct answers are hidden in the story are great. They range from an Indiana Jones fedora to engraved luggage tags, and even a pair of red high-heel pumps.

ULA wanted to do the same, with a pinch of love, and compassionate to create diverse and supporting anthologies. April Rains, for the West Texas Plant Explosion and the United We Stand for the Boston Marathon tragedies. Reading the inspiring poetry and stories brings back the days in grandmother's kitchen.
