Bingo ATC

Bingo ATC (art trading cards) were so much fun to make.  I found a swap on Scrapbook.com and was excited to join in the fun.  We had to add five elements and could use any type of bingo cards out there.  I chose the exact size of an ATC (2.5 inches x 3.5 inches) and some that were smaller.   There were four categories and I chose two which were spring and feminine. Here are the results.

Haven: Revenge of the Viper by D.C. Akers

Disclosure: I received this product as part of an advertorial.

 
Haven: Revenge of the Viper by D.C. Akers
Book # 2

It has been a long time since I stayed up most of the night reading a book. I did last night. I was just going to finish the chapter and then the battle began. I was caught up breathlessly fighting with Alisa protecting her children. I had tears of grief with Sam's fragile sense of honor. I laughed at the dry since of humor of Vallen. Demetrius became my protector. Let me not forget Travis' ability to diffuse any tense moment with his off handed remarks. And then, there will be Book #3: Haven: Elixir of Life, I cannot wait.

D.C. Akers is a master of suspense. His ability to describe the characters and battle scenes is so realistic, I can see them as if I were watching a video. I was riveted to the written word and scenes before me.

Haven: A Stranger Magic is Book #1 which is available for free on www.Amazon.com and www.Smashwords.com.

Win your copy of Book #2 by leaving a comment.  Drawing will be on Sunday 3/17/14 using random.org

Overcoming your Shopping Addiction by Stephen Howe

Disclosure: I received this product as part of an advertorial. Overcoming your Shopping Addiction: The Guide to Beating your Addiction to Shopping and Ending the Shopping Addiction Cycle by Stephen Howe.

Wow! what a fantastic book.  I am a binge shopper who stays within my budget.  As a social worker I love to read self help books and promote them others when necessary.  I love the description of the differing types of shopping additions, the reason we get into trouble and the goals to overcome it.  This book is well written and easy to read.

This book is available at www.Amazon.com

The product description details the book better than I:

"You’re about to discover proven steps and strategies to help you better understand the underlying causes of compulsive spending and develop the right approach needed to effectively combat shopping addiction.

Addiction to shopping is arguably the most socially reinforced among all the known forms of behavioral disorders. In a highly consumerist society, spending is seen as a key exercise in validating your worth, so it is not surprising to see the act of shopping being equated with personal happiness.

But therein lies the biggest challenge: when left unchecked, excessive shopping has the potential of spawning serious emotional, financial, and even physical problems. In fact, similar to other forms of addiction, getting hooked to shopping can also extend beyond the self and pose significant challenges to your relationships with other people.

It goes without saying, therefore, that anyone keen on getting rid of this disorder should be equipped with the proper mindset, motivation, and attitude needed to keep it from wreaking further havoc into his life.

Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn...

  • Understanding the Retail Therapy Culture
    Identifying the Symptoms of Extreme Shopping Addiction
    Coming to Terms with your Shopping Triggers
    Sporting a Proactive Demeanor to Combat your Shopaholic Tendencies
    Leading a Healthy and Sustainable Lifestyle"

Invisible Witness: Healing From My Family's Legacy of Domestic Violence by Lisa Kroulik

Disclosure: I received this product as part of an advertorial.

Invisible Witness: Healing From My Family's Legacy of Domestic Violence by Lisa Kroulik is available at www.Amazon.com.

Lisa Kroulik is a freelance writer, writes on such a personal level it is heart wrenching and enlightening. It is apparent that domestic violence has lasting scars and can be generational but I have never read such a personal account. Lisa does not stop with the personal account she further explains how to begin a recovery. Keep in mind that a recovery is not over night but a process.

The following is one of the excerpts:

“Adults who witnessed violence between their parents when they were children often carry emotional scars that last a lifetime. The trauma to their developing brains can be so great that some psychologists have compared it to what soldiers experience in war. Like soldiers, children from violent homes are hyper-alert and expect to see danger at every turn. Since they don't possess the skills to process what they have witnessed, these children often suppress the memories well into adulthood. It often takes employment and relationship problems, a mental health diagnosis, addictions, and other serious life issues for them to make the connection between the events of their painful upbringing to what they are experiencing in the present.”
