Book Review: THE HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAIN by Christian Alexander Delgado
Christian Alexander Delgado didn't write THE HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAIN: Daily Habits to Train Focus and Self-Belief from an academic lab or a therapist's office. He wrote it from two decades of entrepreneurial pressure, four years in the United States Navy, and the daily reality of running a national company as COO of 1-800-No-Fault. That lived experience is what separates this book from the self-help titles saturating the market. It's not aspirational fluff. It's operational.

The Sky Is Green, The Ocean Is Blue Explores
In many personal stories of hardship, confusion is framed as a temporary fog to push through until clarity returns and life resumes its expected course. In The Sky Is Green, The Ocean Is Blue, Patricia Morgan presents a more honest and sustaining perspective. Here, disorientation is not merely an interruption to overcome. It is the environment in which faith is tested, perception is reshaped, and a quieter, more resilient trust is slowly formed.

I just finished Straight On Till Morning
Straight on Till Morning (2018) is part of Disney's Twisted Tales series, a collection of "what if" retellings that reimagine classic Disney stories with a darker or unexpected twist. Written by Liz Braswell, this novel asks the question: What if Wendy had never met Peter Pan? Rather than following the familiar story of a girl whisked away to Neverland by a magical boy, Braswell crafts an entirely new journey — one in which Wendy Darling finds her own path to adventure, and discovers that the legends she has always believed in may be far more complicated than any bedtime story.

Ecclesiastes and the Weight of Meaninglessness
Have you ever noticed how unsettling Ecclesiastes feels compared to most of Scripture. It does not rush to reassure. It does not soften its conclusions. It returns again and again to the same observation: everything fades, everything repeats, and nothing under the sun seems capable of holding still long enough to become permanent. Wisdom fails to secure lasting satisfaction. Pleasure loses its edge. Work outlives the worker. Even moral effort appears unable to guarantee stability. For many readers, this tone feels almost dissonant, as if the book is saying out loud what faith is supposed to quiet.

I read a Twisted Tale Novel about Frozen...
So, fare reader. I'm back to tell you about a journey I went on... in a book... Not just any book, oh no. In my quest to collect all of the Twisted Tale books as I fall ever so slightly in love with each, and everyone, I have purchased over the course of the last half a year almost! Oh my! I found this one next to What Once Was Mine to be up there with my ever growing Disney fascination, the inner child in me, has always possessed.

Before the Crown Broke Her
Most people grow up knowing the Queen of Hearts as one thing: a villain. She storms across the pages of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, shrieking her famous command–“Off with their heads!”-while terrifying everyone around her. In the surreal chaos of Wonderland, she’s explosive, irrational, and almost cartoonishly cruel. Readers rarely question her motives because the story itself never asks them to. The Queen exists as part of the nonsense.

Book Earth to Moon: A Memoir by Moon Zappa
What is a family? I think that it is almost impossible to impose standards on anyone when it comes to the issue of how a family should be formed, children raised, and lives lived. There are too many broken couples, extended families, and situationships out there to impose one template on all such couplings.
