MY REVIEW As many of you know I have been receiving some amazing books. A few days ago I was  Chosen People  touches on a variety of topics including terrorism, crime, sex trafficking, lawsuits, culture differences, religion, relationships. Robert  Whiltow takes you on the journey of two lawyers, Jakob Brodsky and Hana Abboud representing the Neumann family.  They are hoping to find enough evidence so they can pursue the lawsuit under the US Anti-Terrorism statues. Hana was born in Reineh in Jerulsuam and moved Atlanta to hone in on her legal skills.   The plot has lots of twists some I predicted others surprised me.  There was a good about of backstory and depth to the characters sometimes too much. There was a lot of repeated information. I couldn't help but feel for each character.  However, I found this book to move a little on the slow side and at times confusing. I believe it is because there was a lot lecturing about the differences between America culture

Joan Hunter's book  Love Again, Live Again  discusses the role in God in relationships.  She discusses the importance of putting God in your relationship because without him your relationship won't make it. I am not married or have a boyfriend, but I still found some helpful thoughts about friendships and how to have a great relationship with people. She states the main element in a successful marriage is forgiveness. It seems easier then it is. If you were really hurt such as if your partner abused you it isn't so easy to forgive them. My last boyfriend pushed me into doing things I was comfortable with.  Another problem with relationships is not listening and paying attention to what each other is using, how they stand and speak. To truly want to help another person you need to listen well. In her book, she states, "Choose to stay sexually pure for that special person who is waiting for you. God is preparing their heart just as He is preparing yours." I hav

The Greenfield Village's Holiday Evening event is amazing so I couldn't wait for the Halloween Event. I have been to the Village's Holiday Evening two times. There is no words to express how much fun that event is. I have never been to the Halloween event, but if its like the Holiday Event then I will not be disappointed. These events sell out fast so if you want to go you need to get your tickets in advance. You can sign up for the 6:30pm, 7:00pm, 7:30pm, 8:00pm, 8:30pm, 9:00pm, 9:30pm. It seemed you can only be in the park for 30 minutes. I can't walk all of Greenfield Village in 30 minutes. Come to find out they do that so they can spread out the crowd a little. On October 14th at 8:30 pm, a group of my friends and I went to the Greenfield Village's Halloween Evening Event. Parking is a pain. We find if you park in the Henry Ford Museum enterence it is the same distance as if you park in the parking lot on the side of Greenfield Village enterence.  Plus

Recently, I went to the Halloween Night at Greenfield Village. Throughout the park they had treat station which gave out candy. In the hotel, I poured out all the treats I got. Guess what?! All of the candy they gave out I could only have one piece of candy. I am glad I am 32 years old and can deal with the sadness, but if I was little kid I would be crying.  It makes me so frustrated with events like this who don't think about kids with food allergies. There is no reason why they couldn't hand out pencils, pens, history pamphlets about Halloween, Halloween pins etc.  Anyways now that I had my little sputtering. Halloween is a lot of fun except when you have food allergies. I am very proud our society is seeing this and started an awareness program called the Pumpkin Project by putting out a teal colored pumpkin on your front porch. This tells parents the person is handing out non-food items. Our society is slowly understanding food allergies, but it is still easy and
