Peaceful Passage (Book Review)


Peaceful Passage


By Author Kim West

I highly recommend the “Peaceful Passage” by author Kim West this book is essential in helping you during the journey of a love one’s dying process. This book assist you in knowing what steps you need to take in helping your love one during the dying process, along with helping yourself through the process. It also helps you in handling the daily demands of your marriage, family, children and career. You’ll find checklists and resources to keep you on track, and at each chapter’s end, journaling pages invite readers to record their experiences. Kim had experience of this journey due to her mother becoming ill with terminal cancer and brought her to her home and taking care of her until the day she passed.  At that time Kim didn't have any experience in caring for a dying person so she journal through the process to help with the grief. She realized that she needed to write about her process to help others through the same experience. This book is one that can be used by any and all family members going through this process. 

Kim West has a PhD in Clinical Pastoral Counseling and her Master of Divinity in Counseling and Family; this provides her to help families that are going through the end-of-life journey.

Christmas Time to Remember!

I have to say Christmas was very good this year. I was just so happy watching everyone else opening their gifts that I wasn't really worried about getting much, since I knew we couldn't afford much this year. But I was totally surprised by the gift my oldest daughter purchased for me this year. Her and her brother and sister chose a mother's ring that I have been wanting for a long time which she paid for it all by herself with the money she has been working so hard to make. It is so beautiful with four stones and their names included. Here is a picture of it... 












Had some family and a friend from high school over for Christmas dinner. We had turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, potato salad, macaroni salad, green bean casserole, angel eggs (they are devil eggs but have started calling them angel eggs because of my Aunt calls them that), stuff celery, and stuffing and Apple pie for desert. Hope your Christmas dinner was just as good. Had a wonderful time, ended up going to bed early since I had stayed up late the night before watching a movie. It is another early night to bed for me again tonight. Will post again tomorrow. Hope everyone's Christmas was a happy and blessed time.

Book Review: On a Quest for Christ tracing the footsteps of your spiritual journey

On a Quest for Christ
tracing the footsteps of your spiritual journey

By: Lisa Aré Wulf













     The book “On a Quest for Christ tracing the footsteps of your spiritual journey” by author Lisa Aré Wulf is a book that will not only touch your heart but transform your life by the words she has written. This book is a 30 day devotional that will help you trace your steps in finding your spiritual journey. At the beginning of each chapter there is a scripture verse, Lisa then tells you her story then there is a section that is for your story. Then follows is the reflection section, followed by Give it to God and then Your Special Prayer.

     I really  enjoyed this book because of the inspiration and that Lisa told her own story which lets you know that you aren't the only one going through what you go through. I recommend this book to anyone that not only enjoys doing devotionals but wants to transform their life. 

     Lisa is a ministry leader and Fuller Seminary graduate.  She has spoken to women’s groups and churches across the country. Before entering the ministry, Lisa served eight years on the Colorado Springs City Council. She is also a retired CPA, a former radio talk show host, an accounting professor, and was a violinist.

Review of NuNaturals Stevia













     I had the chance to experience the product NuNaturals Stevia. I was a little caution in sampling this product because like most sweeteners they have an aftertaste, but I have to say this one didn't and it doesn't have any fillers either. NuNaturals doesn't use any artificial flavorings they are all made with PURE ingredients and they are Gluten-Free. They sent me several different ones to sample which included PreBiotic Blend 3.5 oz. Powder, White Stevia Powder in packets that you would use for sweeten your coffee or tea. They also sent several Pure Liquids Alcohol-Free 2 oz. bottles which included Lemon, Orange, Peppermint, Vanilla and clear, the aroma of these when you opened the bottles were amazing. I used them in my water (yes I wanted to try to see what the flavor was first), and my tea which they were very good in both. I also made a No Bake Lemon Drop Cookie. Not sure what happen because I couldn't get the balls formed so when you picked them up they just crumbled, but I have to say the taste was very good on the ones that stayed together. If you are looking for a sweetener that doesn't have an aftertaste or artificial flavorings then you will want to try this. You can find all of their products and recipes listed at their website: https://nunaturals.com/
