The Book of Mormon. Content Warning.
Currently, I am reading the missing book of the Bible as I heard a television commercial state about this book on several occasions. I am planning on sharing some of the similarities of this book with the Bible that we all have read at some time in our lives. I believe in one supreme being and as a Lutheran, who has had many questions over time and in search of answers as well as learning from others like the Methodists, Presbyterians, Catholics and other seekers I am going to share what I have read so far in a series of critiques here on Vocal.

The Working Mom Blueprint
'The Working Mom Blueprint' is a sequel to 'The New Baby Blueprint' that is also written by Whitney Casares, MD, MPH, FAAP. This is another reference book that will give new parents and old parents sage advice when dealing with a new baby, toddlers, preschoolers and even teenagers. It will help them deal with tantrums at all ages, how you as parents should be working together to raise your child or children, how to do self-care for yourself and your spouse so issues will be able to be handled at least a little bit easier. There are many blocks with reminders throughout the book on these topics. It will seem that this reference book will repeat several topics that were in 'The New Baby Blueprint' so this book could be a review for some parents. My favorite chapter was the one 'Taking Care of Toddlers and Elementary School Kids' only because I studied Early Childhood and Elementary Education and I remembered what I learned and this book gave a good review.

Gregg Shorthand
Gregg Shorthand is a skill that is obsolete in the business world now but is still used in legal offices and by some journalists with their own style of writing. Gregg shorthand is a phonetic way of writing words and phrases using various symbols like lines and curves and dots. There are other forms of this subject like Pitman, Teeline and Alphahand. To me Gregg shorthand is easier to read and write, and I am planning on sharing lessons here on Vocal.com. I have tried to find some pictures of Gregg shorthand on Pexels.com and a few other image places but no luck. In my lessons that I am planning to share I will be writing words, phrases and letters from the textbooks that I had in high school back in the 80's by Leslie and Zoubek.
