What Color is Your Parachute: 2018

What Color is your Parachute? 2018, by Richard N. Bolles is a Job Hunter and Career Changer manual. This book takes one on a journey of self-reflection and personal growth on finding the career that is right for him/her. It's filled with resources, charts and graphs as a guide for those who need in depth knowledge and training on choosing the right path. My all-time favorite is the Myers-Briggs Test. I also enjoyed seeing the tips on the employer questions to prepare for the interview.This is awesome for those who have been out of the work force for a while or have been in one company. It’s always great to have a reminder of what employers are looking for and if one’s personality is a good match for the position. Another aspect that I enjoyed about this book was the “Blue Pages”. This section goes in depth about the purpose to finding one’s mission in life and avoiding making the same mistake twice with finding the perfect career. I do rate this book a 5 out of 5. It’s one of those resources that never goes old and has been updated to meet today’s work force.

A Box of Awesome Things - Official Review

A Box of Awesome Things Matching game is exactly what its title says! It is a matching game with cardboard cards and items like lava, fireflies, s’mores and more! I love the box that the cards come in. They are divided into four sections and by color and comes in a decorated box, so storage for these cards makes it very easy. I played this game with my two-year-old and he had a fun time playing this game. My oldest, whose nine, did not think the game was that fascinating and got bored fast; however, it is great for little ones who are learning matching skills. I rate this game a 3 out of 5 due to the lack of interest for older children. Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this game free in agreement to write a honest review on my blog.

The Dream Centered Life - Official Review

The Dream Centered Life: Discover What Drives You by Luke Barnett, is a must read for those who need a little push in putting thoughts into actions. As the author started in the beginning of the book, “everything starts with a dream”, is a reminder that anything worth having requires work and realization that God has plans for each of us. Barnett takes you on a journey of how he lost his dream only to go through the obstacles of finding it again. This book is needed for this time, as many people wonder who they are and what their true purpose involves. Burnett also teaches you that if you don’t have a dream or a purpose, you will live someone else’s. The Dream Centered Life is revelation for someone who is wondering in circles with no destination. I highly recommend and will be sure to give this book away as a raffle for an event or a Christmas gift.  This book can be found on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Centered-Life-Discovering-What-Drives/dp/0735289654/ref...

No One Ever Asked, by Katie Ganshert is a page turner! I enjoyed every emotion and sentiment from each character's perspective. The story is about a  school district that loses its accreditation and the community of Crystal Ridge must open its doors to accept the students from the closed district. The views are from three very different women: Camille Gray--the wife of an executive, mother of three, long-standing PTA chairwoman and champion fundraiser--faced with a shocking discovery that threatens to tear her picture-perfect world apart at the seams. Jen Covington, the career nurse whose long, painful journey to motherhood finally resulted in adoption but she is struggling with a happily-ever-after so much harder than she anticipated. Twenty-two-year-old Anaya Jones--the first woman in her family to graduate college and a brand-new teacher at Crystal Ridge's top elementary school, unprepared for the powder-keg situation she's stepped into. This book speaks volumes to...
