Everyone makes a difference in the lives of others

Taken from Inspiring Childhood, Inspiring Life/“Your Life is Important”

~ Everyone makes a difference in the lives of others ~

Everyone is important because everyone makes a difference in the world.  We all connect with people in one way or another, and it is in these connections that life is lived.

Thanks Kathleen for a great book review!

Love is a feeling, a choice and a legacy

Inspired by Inspiring Childhood, Inspiring Life – Love is a feeling, a choice and a legacy.

You should know a true “I love you”, one that’s given for your own well-being.

A true “I love you” isn’t the same as “I like you a lot.” A true “I love you” doesn’t mean “I love you, but it’s o.k. to love myself more”.

True love protects but encourages, will lead you and also will follow you.

Being given true love, allows for learning how to truly love, and that’s an amazing gift to receive.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

A book review for The Disenchanted Pet by Kate Policani

Below is a review I’ve offered for my friend and fellow author Kate Policani.  Yes she is my friend, however I’m confident in my review of her book professionally as well as personally.  If you are looking for a book that will keep you interested and thinking, this one has it.

An Enjoyable Book For Reading and Smart Book For Thinking…

An engaging and multi-faceted science fiction story, The Disenchanted Pet presents an intriguing and thoughtful backdrop for exploring the universal theme of relationships.

The story follows heroine Zarah through life and experiences that forever change not only her, but also her view of the world she lives in.

The writing is well paced with engaging twists and turns right up through the very end.  Enjoyable for a variety of readers, The Disenchanted Pet is a book that may have you thinking about questions it mirrors against our own world, long after the last page has been turned.
