The Month of May
In the month of May with flowers popping up pretty much everywhere one begins to think. What are we thinking at this time of year? Is it that the school year is just about over with graduations ever so close or is it the many various kinds of engagements that seem to show how some are finding their One and only in hopes of forever. May is the month where we seem to take a breath and realize maybe who we are and if we are meant to find that special someone or to go on and cultivate knowledge as we cultivate that flower garden of life. I am one of those who, I guess, is one to cultivate knowledge for I am a writer and wanting to cultivate understanding of words and how words help each of us express our needs and wants in many ways. Again, the month of May is the real beginning of personal growth.

The Getting To Know Each Other Game: Installment Number Two
The first installment of The Getting to Know Each Other Better Game was a huge success. Thank you to everyone that participated! 🙂 There were so many comments I couldn’t keep up. I tried to respond to everyone that commented, but fell short. That being said, Installment Number One was a whole lotta fun!

Limitless
Have you ever wanted to learn in a different way from how you learned what you needed to learn. How do you like that tongue twister. Jim Kwik has written an academic book that shows you how to do this and it's titled 'LIMITLESS' with the subtitle 'Upgrade your brain, learn anything faster, and Unlock your exceptional life'. This is a book that should be read chapter by chapter as the author suggests right from the beginning of the book.

Catching Up
It's getting late here and I spent pretty much the whole day reading stories, poems and articles here on Vocal. Now I am pretty much caught up on my notifications from the past few weeks when I was reading many books that I will be sharing with you all. There are some academic books and a lot of Nora Roberts novels that I have read and even re-read for to me they were worth a second read. The novels and even the academic books were to me quite enjoyable. To me it's a good thing that I was or maybe still am a teacher at heart and want to share what I have learned from all of these various authors. In the future I am planning to re-read many novels that I had to read in my graduate school programs which was dealing with teaching and children's literature, as well as the academic textbooks were quite informative and can't wait to share them here for you all to read.

Just a note
Just a note for I know I am way behind on my notifications and I mean way behind, but I have been busy reading many, many novels and I am planning on sharing with you all soon. I am writing a few articles that will be book blurbs on these books that I have read as well as a few articles on a few nonfiction academic books that I have just read. The novels are mainly Nora Roberts novels for I like them for the family aspects they have and the academic ones I like to learn new things now.
