Counting by 7s (Book 4)

Remember book reports when we were in school? For some they were a dreaded terrible thing, for others they were fun ways to recall your favorite book and an easy format to tell someone what the book was about. I've decided to post some reports of my favorite books; let's jump right in.

This was another book that I picked out of the little neighborhood outside library. It's a book for young people I guess, but I absolutely loved the story & related a lot to dealing with unexpected circumstances, the trauma associated with starting over & coming into the realization that we can.

Author: Holly Goldberg Sloan

Title: Counting by 7s

Main Characters: Willow Chance, Dell Duke, Mai, Quang-ha, Pattie & the Taxi driver

Setting: Bakersfield, California

Plot: This book touches mainly on loss & change from the perspective of a 12 year old girl and how she managed to show courage in the face of disaster. Love & team work were prominent in this story as well and it showed a clear description of what can happen when people work together using these morals & values.

Personal Endorsement: This is one of the many books I've read that was written for the youth and it completely blew my mind. Even though up till now I've never experienced a loved one dying unexpectedly before; especially not at a young age. I was still able to relate to that deep feeling of loss & the changes that happen in life because of it; also how one will never be the same again. This was a tear jerker an a very emotional journey to take with a child. There were moments I just wanted to jump into the book and console her but I had to have the courage to keep reading. Even tho I was feeling sad with her happiness managed to shine through, like it has a habit of doing if we let it. I give this book 5 STARS and will be looking forward to possibly reading another book from this Author.

When it comes to books I read what the spirits put before me!

The Crystal (LA Story)

This is a crazy story & another one about someone trying to get in where they think they fit in. I was at work, at my lil retail gig and this lady walks up to the counter and says that she is clairvoyant and that she can tell I am going through some things, I shouldn't be at that job because I'm better than that and that my face is supposed to be well known. She said there are some other things that she would like to tell me. She gave me her card and asked me to come down to her shop and get my free palm reading. I know spiritual energy is real and she did touch on somethings that made me think maybe going to see her wouldn't be a complete waste of time. A couple days later I made the appointment and went to her shop. She read my Palm, said some things that I've heard before & then asked me to pick a crystal. I picked a heart shaped one and she stated as long as I had the crystal I will start feeling better. I know that these sessions aren'

Surviving LA part II

As the LA housing search continues... We found ourselves on the streets & out of money for a couple weeks due to the Beverly Hills swindle & the cost of staying in hotels. On day one on the streets, we both worked a night shift and spent the day sleeping in our storage unit, Day 2 was the Santa Monica/Venice beach night, sleeping in our tent & fighting a serious wind till the morning. On day 3 we fought with the wind again more severe in our tent at the Venice Graffiti walls on the beach & lost. We dramatically packed up fighting the wind the whole way & ended up camping not too far away in Penmar park. The good thing about this was that they had a bathroom available. The hauk was out too that night it was so cold, I thought I was gonna die from hypothermia. I don't even know how I made it through the night. All I know is that I was not prepared for this! The universe carried me into day 4 & we both again worked the night shift. I worked from 10
