Mary Baker Eddy, The Golden Days (Book 5)

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.

As we know I do enjoy the neighborhood share libraries. They look like little tree houses for books😋 Most of the time when I see them I get out of the car & see what they have. This time I found the second part to Mary Baker Eddy's life story. I like her story because as I said before in the first post about her, I can relate to some things in her life & I share some of her views as well.

Title: Mary Baker Eddy: The Golden Days

Main Characters: The author, Mary Baker & her Family

Setting: The years focused on the 1800's & majority of the story takes place in Bow, New Hampshire.

Plot: This book went into more detail about Mary's intimate life with her family. It gave details into how she lost her son. How she became such an Christian Science Icon; what drove her in the direction she chose, how she dealt with the trials & tribulations that visited her & her families lives.

Personal Endorsement: First I want to say that this book made me realize that Mary's family were more than likely colonizers! They got a nerve to make it seem like they came to a new land & all of a sudden there's a Indian problem. No buddy ya'll just came & settled on their land. They lookin like excuse me who TF are ya'll? Then these people just went to war with them, like we just showed up here & this land is ours. Chile took my breath away.

What I did enjoy about the book was getting a better understanding of who Mary Baker Eddy was & why she lost her son. The book stated that her effort had been to build a strong church government that would not require her to be present personally to carry on it's affairs. She said " They who know (understand) my book know me." She was referring to a book she wrote called Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures, I will read that too. Mary stated a lot of profound things such as; " The Bible is the learned man's masterpiece, the ignorant man's dictionary, & the wise man's directory."

It's safe to say i'm feeling Mary & her opinions, I will continue to study her further.

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
