HOW TO DARE
The followings are excerpts from the book “Creative Confidence – unleashing the creative potential within us all” and are taken from the chapter named DARE – from fear to courage, which in my opinion, pinpoints not just the creative process, but the decision making in life overall. I found it very useful, meaningful so, hopefully, if you had not had the chance to read the book, these glimpses into its fragments will convince you to pick it up from a book shop.

Excerpt From Story Of Melvin Book
Melvin is at the house upstairs in his bedroom looking at the ceiling. Looking for inspiration of daily life. It’s about nightfall. Winter in fact, but it’s warm kinda. Melvin is about 18 about to be 19 but has a mind of his own. This book you are reading is not your cookie cutter, formatted and perfected with chapters listed. This goes straight to the point of interest and descriptive nature. Walking outside with a blue hoodie on covering his afro covering his face full of insecurity. Still trying to find himself but doesn’t have an outlet. Filled with much denial that he did before but actually it’s just a piece. Down in michigan where the great lakes flow. Full of harsh winters full of lakeffect and high cold winds. A star is born! But doesn’t even know it yet! Or does he? Goes back inside the house, opening the door with his head down with much guilt and shame of not having a job and no money in his pocket. But not even understanding, that doesn’t even matter! Walking back to the room, grabs his phone with his headphones. Surfing the web and comes in contact with “Meek Mill’s”, “Championships”, Album. Starts to listen from the first track to the end and it becomes theraputic. What a lot of you don’t know is that Melvin is suffering from the death of his mother. And at the sametime being a college dropout. Trying to figure out what to do when everything seems like theres no hope! For the last few days Melvin has been doing the same routine. Eat, sleep, watch youtube, shower repeat! With the exception of using the bathroom. His father became a drunk after his moms passing, and has became very angry and negative lately. Rather grouchy, I should say that urks Melvin to the highest degree. Melvin always loved music, he would sit in class in 5th grade and right raps. He would have many ideas ahead of his time. He never liked to rely on people for help because they didn’t take him seriously. They would often quit on him from rap groups that he made. Melvin

Top Ten Books for Every Spiritual Enthusiast
Influence; it’s an interesting thing, is it not? Speaking on the matter, author J.B Neblett once wrote, “We are the sum total of our experiences. Those experiences — be they positive or negative -make us the person we are, at any given point in our lives. And, like a flowing river, those same experiences, and those yet to come, continue to influence and reshape the person we are, and the person we become. None of us are the same as we were yesterday, nor will be tomorrow.”

"warriors" the secret life of the family house cat.
As a young kid and well into my teens I was always fascinated by the secret life of animals. I remember loving to read many books but one series I still think about is "Warriors" by Erin Hunter. This series had it all and from the moment I picked up the book I was hooked! I can remember waiting for the next series to come out, itching to continue the story of Rusty, the cat that would become firestar. Leader of thunderclan. From a house cat to a leader of many this cat would make decisions few ever would, and in the process take all those who followed him, on a journey!

The Dahlightful Roald Dahl
I will always treasure the glorious collection of stories and books so thoughtfully gifted me by various family members and friends. They are stories I still enjoy as a middle-aged (it hurts to write that) woman today. My partner laughs at my forays back into childhood, churning through pages at an unchildlike pace, or watching a movie based on one of his enchantingly twisted tales.
