52 Small Changes by Brett Blumenthal

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)18 Comments

New Year’s resolutions, a healthy goal, commitments to do better…. almost everyone at one time or another has made a vow to make positive changes in their habits.  Of course, this is easier said than done, especially in today’s hectic world of too many time commitments, jobs, meetings, kids events…

What wellness coach Brett Blumenthal presents in this book is a way to motivate readers in the right direction by making one small change a week.  The changes are realistic from healthy eating habits, to stress relief, mental wellness, and even your home environment.  52 Small Changes is a step by step road map to a happier, healthier you.

I am as guilty as the next person when it comes to the New Year and “new me” promises.  This year, I started it with Team Kickin It and plan to be consistent in what I am doing to hopefully motivate others – as well as their input motivating me.  Is it easy?  No.  Some days I am a rock star… other days I am looking at the empty Burger King bag wondering why did I just do that? 

What I really like about 52 Small Changes is that each week is that not only is the change a small tweak in the way you do life already… but the chapter goes on to tell you the benefits of this change, how to do it, options and keeping it real….

For instance chapter one is called Drink Up!  Water is one we are all suppose to be doing, but few of us get the amount of water we really need daily. It goes on to give you a road map to success, accessing your needs, how to remind yourself, and keeping it real.  While you might think this is a no brainer, actually reading the chapter gave me tips to getting my water intake in each day as well as back up substitutes (like tea) or adding things to make it taste better – like fruit or cucumber slices.

Moving on, chapter 2 is about getting enough sleep, chapter 3 is about getting off the couch, and chapter 4 is about keeping a food journal, etc… etc…

I like that each chapter is doable, you stay on it for a week, then add a second one and so on.  Martha at Martha’s Bookshelf mentioned doing a group thing with this book and I like that idea.

Morning Meanderings… A Book Club, Dog Surgery, A Navy Guy, And a Concert…

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)42 Comments

Good morning!  Cranking out a post this morning before I head to a meeting…

basically… it has been a week.

Monday was run run run from work, to work out, to pick up diner, to group… home at 8:30 pm

Tuesday was Book Club at my house – so work, grocery shop, cook, clean, BOOKIES!!!, a little bra burning, and house empty at 9 pm

Wednesday Bailey had surgery for a sore he had on his back side…. work, surgery, stayed late at work, volunteer with students, home at 8:30 pm

Thursday was Navy son’s dinner request so work, grocery shop, home, cook, have fun chatting it up with Brad (Navy Son) and Andy (best friend also in Navy) and everyone left to go visit friends at 7:30 pm and I promptly fell asleep on the couch within minutes of everyone gone. 😛

Friday – DAY OFF!!!!  Worked the morning catching up on writing reviews, blog visiting, writing… then went to work out with friends (only the second time to gym this week!), then to help with a concert for the homeless in our community.  Home at 8:45 pm

And now it is Saturday.  I am helping with a meeting this morning that is from 10 – 11:30 am.  Then I need to run a few errands, then chill at home a bit, tonight College Son will be here too and we are having Christmas with Brad since he was not here for it, going out to dinner and then Brad is heading out-of-town to visit with friends in ST Cloud for the night. 

Whew.  What a week!  😀

And for Alyce’s Saturday Snapshots, I do have a few random pics of the week…

Brad (Navy son) cleaning off the deck on Tuesday - yup, no snow!

 

Delicious cupcakes for book club in honor of our book

 

The book (Henry's Sisters) started with a bra burning so we ended our meeting with.... a bra burning.

 

Bailey after surgery... he has to wear the cone for two weeks.

 

 

Last nights concert - my friend Key led the music and it ROCKED!

 

Ok… I am out of here for a while but back later with a review.  I am currently reading The Future Of Us and it is getting GOOD!

Murder On The Orient Express by Agatha Christie

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)37 Comments

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stopped the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train was surprisingly full for the time of the year. But by the morning there was one passenger fewer. An American lay dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. With tension mounting, detective Hercule Poirot comes up with not one, but two solutions to the crime…

The latest version of the book - and OOOOH so good!

Uh….. confession time.  Up until now… I have never read Agatha Christie.  😯  I know, I know.  I have wanted to…. I just never did.

Ryan from Wordsmithonia is a huge fan and he inspired me.  Then Julie at Booking Mama held a contest and I won a copy of the book and seriously as excited as I was, you would think that was enough of a push….

yet…. it sat.

Then I came across it on audible.com and I knew that would be the answer – I would go audio.  And, Christy fans, or newbies like me…. this was a fun choice.

David Suchet was the perfect narrator.  When he would do the voices of the women on the train (especially the snippy ones) I laughed out loud.  Seriously. I may have even snorted a bit.  😀  Fantastic narration.  You can listen to him here.

As for the story itself… it was an experience.  There are a lot of character/suspects.  I tend to like books with less characters as when there are so many I tend to either get confused on who is who, or I feel they are not developed well enough for me to remember them beyond the turn of the page…

However – as each character was interviewed about the crime… I felt as though I did get a feel for who each of them were (even if I did wrongfully accuse a few!).  There were twelve other passengers on the train… each with some connection….

Does everyone remember the original game board Clue?

LOL…. seriously though.  Fantastic listening experience.  I do plan now to go through it again in the book.  I am always impressed when an older (much older) read touches me.  I tend to read more modern books… and Murder On The Orient Express was originally published in the UK in 1934. 

The original UK cover. 1934

I would recommend that if you have not experienced Agatha Christie that you make it a point to do so in 2012.  This book was exciting, funny, and interesting…. a brilliant over all experience.

Morning Meanderings… World Book Night Needs YOU!

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)10 Comments

Good morning!  What a night!  Navy Son is home until the 22nd and we had a dinner last night with him and his best friend Andy who is also home from the Navy at this time.  Brad (Navy son) was able to pick whatever he wanted for dinner and he chose Honduras hotdish, which we all love so easy and delicious!

This morning I wanted to talk a little but about World Book Night.  I love the thought World Book Night and did not participate last year but hope too (fingers crossed!!!) do so this year.  Here is the gist of World Book Night:

They need 50,000 book-loving volunteers to fan out across America on April 23, 2012! Just take 20 free copies of a book to a location in your community, and you just might change someone’s life.

The goal is to give books to new readers, to encourage reading, to share your passion for a great book. The entire publishing, bookstore, library, author, printing, and paper community is behind this effort with donated services and time. And with a million free World Book Night paperbacks!

The first World Book Night was held in the UK last year, and it was such a big success that it’s spreading around the world! Please volunteer to be a book giver in the U.S. Sign up now to be a book giver.

Seriously fellow book lovers, what is not to like about this deal? 

I signed up a while back but received an email yesterday that they want and need more applicants.  I am passing the word on to you now.  The deadline to sign up is February 1, 2012 and then they will notify who is in on this deal.

I love the idea of one day in the world we are all handing out books… hopefully creating more book lovers. They have a list of 30 books you can choose from to be the one that you would like to hand out.  I would love to know, World book night list aside, what one book would you choose to hand out to your community that you think would create new readers?

Read more about World Book Night here, from the free book list to the FAQs. Thank you!

Today I have some reviews to write, a little catching up to do blog wise, and later working out with friends.  Tonight, we are going to a concert to raise money to help our communities homeless. 

 

 

 

A new post is up today….

What to do when there seems

to be no time to work out.

Henry’s Sisters by Cathy Lamb

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)28 Comments

Isabelle Bommarito is a mess.

She continuously picks up men… connects for a night and then disposes of them quickly.  As in now… as in LEAVE.

Cecilia Bommarito is depressed.  Her husband is having an affair right under her nose.  And so she eats… and eats… and eats while her anger boils over onto anyone in the way.

Janie Bommarito is a best selling author.  While shy and a loner in real life, her books are filled with heinous crimes that would make the strongest persons stomach churn.  She lives alone in a boathouse and counts everything out by fours….

The Bommarito sisters all have issues…. BIG ONES.  And if you met their mother, River Bommarito (one time stripper, dancer, child neglecter…. ) you may understand why.

Then comes Henry Bommarito.  Sweet Henry.  Sickly as a baby and later diagnosed to be mentally handicapped.

Honest to God, Henry is the only normal person in the family. 

The only one.

Did the Bookies have a fire?

The Bookies book club read this for their January book pick.  It had been nominated before… and passed on.  This time, it won the vote.

The opening line:

I would have to light my bra on fire.

Hmmmm… potential?

When the sisters Bommarito’s are all called home to help take care of Henry while their mother goes into the hospital for surgery – there is, to say the least, reluctance.  The girls do not have fond memories of growing up with a mother who neglected more than loved… who at times layed in bed for weeks under the weight of her own depression leaving the girls to fend for themselves and Henry.  And now added to the top was their grandmother who had Alzheimer’s so severely she thought she was Amelia Earhart.

Yet the girls do go back, to care for Henry the brother they love, and to work in the family bakery while their mother is away. 

The result?  A touching story – at times hilariously funny… heartwarmingly sweet, and occasionally painful.  It was a book that put you on an emotional rollercoaster and left you in the end…

breathless.

As for the Bookies…. what a great review.  We had spaghetti and lasagna (two on Henry’s favorite meals).  Garlic bread and a chicken salad, and even home made cupcakes – to die for!!!!

Angie's mouth watering cupcakes
The Bookies do know how to party....
Ok... there may have been a fire.... we may have burned some bra's... BUT - this is not the Bookies first fire. 😉

We loved the book, no one rating less than an average read – more leaving towards the higher marks.  We discussed the sisters we felt we were most like, and Henry’s unwavering kindness to all.  We could all learn a little something from Henry. 

In the end, out of the 16 of us in the room, 9 admitted to bawling like a baby at some point in the book… present company included.

Henry’s Sisters is a book I personally loved – Cathy Lamb writes with a quick whit and a way that made me feel I was in the room with these quirky characters.  I highly recommend this read – it was touching and funny.

Morning Meanderings… I Fell Off The Blog Wagon

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)12 Comments

Whoa!  Where did I go? 

That was an unplanned lapse in blog time this week.  On Monday I took out little dog Bailey to the vet to have a growth looked at.  It was pretty nasty and growing rapidly.  They scheduled surgery for him for Wednesday.  Then Tuesday I had the best of intentions of putting a review post up and just never got there.  A busy work day, then cooking and cleaning for my book club and finally crashing to bed around 10 pm. 

When I woke up Wednesday morning it was already after 7 am, and I had to be to work at 8 am – and get the dog to the vet for his surgery.  I did not even open my laptop as I ran for the door. 

After a ten-hour work day, followed immediately by 3 hours of volunteer time, I came home at 8:30 pm… wiped out again.  I knew this would be a crazy week … but wowza, I didn’t know it would take such a tole on me. 

Bailey’s surgery went well and hubby brought him home around 4:30 pm.  I did not see him until I came home late, and then seen his “cone head” that he has to wear for the next two weeks while he heals. 

Tonight after work Navy son (SSSQQQUUUEEE!!!!) and his best friend Andy are joining us for dinner.  We are having what I call “Honduras hotdish” as that is where I got the recipe.  It will be nice to hang out with them both – and I sooooo look forward to it. 

This also puts me one day closer to the end of this busy week.  😀

Be sure to come by later today for my Bookies book club review of Henry’s Sisters.  Hint:  we had a little fire and burned something in honor of this book.  Funny thing is, this is not our first fire.  😛

Morning Meanderings… Todays Post Is Brought To You By The Letter “P”

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)8 Comments

Good morning and UGH – really???  How can one person feel so behind?  I had all of last week off you think I would be a rock star in reviews and posts… but no…. what happened?

Girls weekend Thursday – Saturday.  I was home on Sunday – I posted quite a bit actually but then Monday came….

I ran all day Monday from work to the vet to the printer to the gym to pick up pizza for a group meeting to home at 8 pm.  Then I worked on year in review papers for our Book Club meeting tonight and I did that until alomst 1:00 am.

SO here I am – watching the clock…. wishing I had written the review I wanted to last night (Ugh… why did I not write that review???) and needing to get to work early today as I have a huge week there too. 

Good grief.

Today I work until 3, run to the grocery store to purchase items for Book Club tonight (my house) and to the bank.  Then home – clean, cook, prep notes…. Bookies here at 6:30 pm. 

Basically I will not be back on line until 8:30 pm or so tonight.

GAH.  Did I say that yet?

GAH.  “P” is for pathetic.

I am looking forward to tonight… just wish I wasnt suddenly so bogged down with activity.

I did my check in this morning over at Team Kickin it – stop over… and say hi to I think… a saner version of me.

My How Book Blogging Has Changed... (my thoughts on some not so positive changes to the book blogging community over the past year)

 

This week I have some catching up to do… and a busy week ahead – work, evening commitments and Navy Son is home for a couple weeks!  SSQQUUEEE!!!!

I do have a few things planned though…

Whether as New Year’s resolutions, birthday wishes, or daily promises, most everyone vows at some point to make a major life change. But change is easier said than done, especially when it comes to better managing our wellness amidst the chaos of everyday living. Fortunately, wellness coach and award-winning writer Brett Blumenthal has devised a way to inspire and motivate her readers to live healthier and make positive changes in their lives. Although Blumenthal’s method is not a quick fix, it is a surprisingly simple one: make one small change per week, for fifty-two weeks, and at the end of a year, you’ll be happier and healthier. After all, it is the small changes that are the most realistic, instead of trying to overhaul your lifestyle all at once. 52 Small Changes addresses all areas of wellbeing, including nutrition, exercise, stress management, mental wellness, and even the health of one’s home environment. By guiding readers through these changes at an easy, manageable pace, Blumenthal provides an engaging roadmap to lasting results and “a happier, healthier you.”

I haven’t looked at this one yet but I am excited to check it out!

After her boss is caught in a political scandal, fledgling Washington lobbyist Dempsey Jo Killebrew is left broke, unemployed, and homeless. out of options, she reluctantly accepts her father’s offer to help turn birdsong—the fading Victorian mansion he recently inherited in Guthrie, Georgia—into a real estate cash cow. but birdsong turns out to be a moldering Pepto-bismol-pink dump with duct-taped windows, a driveway full of junk, and a grumpy distant relation who’s claiming squatter’s rights. Stuck in a tiny town where everyone seems to know her business, Dempsey grits her teeth and rolls up her sleeves, and begins her journey back to the last place she ever expected: home.

Mary Kay Andrews is a hoot – I look forward to listening to this one!

In the midseventies, Steve Martin exploded onto the comedy scene. By 1978 he was the biggest concert draw in the history of stand-up. In 1981 he quit forever. This book is, in his own words, the story of “why I did stand-up and why I walked away.”

Emmy and Grammy Award winner, author of the acclaimed New York Times bestsellers Shopgirl and The Pleasure of My Company, and a regular contributor to The New Yorker, Martin has always been awriter. His memoir of his years in stand-up is candid, spectacularly amusing, and beautifully written.

At age ten Martin started his career at Disneyland, selling guidebooks in the newly opened theme park. In the decade that followed, he worked in the Disney magic shop and the Bird Cage Theatre at Knott’s Berry Farm, performing his first magic/comedy act a dozen times a week. The story of these years, during which he practiced and honed his craft, is moving and revelatory. The dedication to excellence and innovation is formed at an astonishingly early age and never wavers or wanes.

Martin illuminates the sacrifice, discipline, and originality that made him an icon and informs his work to this day. To be this good, to perform so frequently, was isolating and lonely. It took Martin decades to reconnect with his parents and sister, and he tells that story with great tenderness. Martin also paints a portrait of his times — the era of free love and protests against the war in Vietnam, the heady irreverence of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in the late sixties, and the transformative new voice of Saturday Night Live in the seventies.

I loved Steve Martin as a kid!  Had to give this one a try 🙂

 

 

 

I’ve experienced a lot the last few years and I have a lot to share. So I hope that you’ll take a moment to sit back, relax and enjoy the words I’ve put together for you in this book. I think you’ll find I’ve left no stone unturned, no door unopened, no window unbroken, no rug unvacuumed, no ivories untickled. What I’m saying is, let us begin, shall we?

A Christmas gift!  Cant wait to read!

My how book blogging has changed… and I am sad

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)182 Comments

This past year – especially the latter part, I have felt a difference in the book blogosphere…. blow ups on twitter, and sadly some of the bloggers that I swear are the ones that helped me in the early days, that made me ♥LOVE♥ book blogging have drifted away – posting rarely or not at all… and that… makes me sad.  I know lives change, priorities change, but there was a time I could list the blogging gurus of the community – and now… I just don’t know.

At BEA (Book Expo of America)  this past year I seen some book bloggers throw fits about not getting a book they wanted, running and grabbing every book they could, and loudly speaking their displeasure if they waited in a line for a book that ran out of stock before they got one.   I was ashamed at the fact that they did not realize that they were a part of something bigger… they represented a great whole…  and were giving us as Book Bloggers a bad name.  Honestly… it reminded me a bit of the snotty selfish girl in Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory….

"I got a golden ticket to BEA and now I want ALL THE BOOKS NOW!!!!! GIMMY!"


(It made me think that maybe BEA going forward should have a criteria for book bloggers that attend…

  1. You must be an established book blogger (4+ months) – showing consistency in posts and book reviews…

(just thinking out loud…)

And ok… I kid a bit above so this does not seem like a downer post because really – it’s not a downer post.  It’s more about changes and accepting them and knowing that we still are a community of women and men who enjoy reading and talking about books. 

So what does this have to do with me and my role as a Book Blogger?  I still love book blogging.  There are so many wonderful things about this community that I love.  I did not know three years ago when I started that I would someday meet many of you. (*waves!*) That is still like a dream to me… and that just made me love it more.

I wish I would have found book blogging years ago so I could have been more a part of the evolution of it all.  As it is, I am still glad we had such good years together and hope that the community will build strong once again.

I do try to do my part by helping bloggers who email me with questions, connecting bloggers to one another through the Monday meme, and making it a point to comment when I can…

I don’t think what we have is over.  I think it is changing yes, and change can hurt a bit.  I want to hang with people who want to talk books… who get excited about new authors, new releases, and the next great read coming around the corner.  I will continue to do that as long as I have a passion to do so and for me… that passion still burns strong. 

Note:  I wrote this post a couple of weeks ago when I noticed another book blogger friend went off the grid.  I wasn’t sure I would publish it, it was more just to words to my thoughts.  Then I seen a post at My Friend Amy’s that said a bit of what I had been thinking too.  She encouraged me to post my thoughts and here they are. 

If you are a book blogger – or if you are a person who just likes to talk about books as well as other things… what do you think of all of this?  Have you noticed any changes since you started blogging?  If you are a reader – have you noticed changes in the blogs you like to read – for better?  For worse? 

Cook Yourself Thin Faster by Lauren Deen (and giveaway!)

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)31 Comments

I love food.  It’s true.  I absolutely admit to loving a good buffet, I hardly have anything I will not eat or try.  There was a time in my youth… that did not matter.  No matter what I ate, I did not gain.  I was not a work out queen either… in fact I can not recall any exercise in those years beyond the required gym class.

Well times… they do change…

As I became older, married, with children… the pounds did not just melt away any more.  I came to a point where if I wanted to look the way I well…. wanted to look, then I needed to work for it.  In those years, I worked hard at the gym, tried hard to watch what I ate and did maintain the look I wanted for myself. 

Now…. (*fast forward to present time), I have actually found things that I enjoy doing that also qualify as “working out and exercise”.  Who knew… it could also be fun?  😀

I still fall off track.  I get good at it, and then lose my mojo…. and then, like now, work on putting myself back on the track again.  Of course…. I still have that “love of food” that has never left me.

When I found this book recently at one of my local book stores I was excited about it.  Flipping through it I seen the pictures of the food were mouth-watering and something I would definitely be all for giving a try.  I mean, look at some of these:

  • Dessert Pizza
  • Mini Blueberry Muffins
  • Seven-Layer Dip
  • Pineapple Mojitos
  • Shrimp and Grits
  • Cheese “Fries”
  • Carrot Soup with a Kick
  • Flank Steak with Indian Salsa
  • White Pizza with Roasted Mushrooms

And it also is broke into wonderful categories:

  • Breakfast
  • Starters
  • Mains
  • Sides/Soups/Salads
  • Dessert

AND – if you know me, you know that I do not like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen doing prep work and searching for a long list of ingredients.  I was thrilled to see that the recipes were fairly simple to make, took few ingredients, and not a ton of “kitchen duty”.  YAY to all of that!  😀

I also like recipes that I can serve to guests or take to potlucks that do not look like they are “healthy foods”  (enter the vegie tray….)

I plan to spend some more time in this book yet this afternoon.  Many (but not all) recipes have a mouth-watering picture.  They all have nutrition information, and a list of ingredients that are pretty easy to find.  (I may make the spaghetti squash for dinner)  These are recipes my hubby would even enjoy and not feel deprived of flavors (just calories 😉 )

On page 29 I found this little gem which looks tasty and something I could easily prep ahead of time for work:

Asparagus and Goat Cheese Quiche

Recipe:
Cooking spray
4 asparagus stalks, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 large eggs
1 large egg white
3/4 cup low-fat milk- (I use 1%)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 oz. goat cheese- (I would use a low fat cheese)

1.) Preheat the oven to 425F. Spray four 5 oz. ramekins (I would use my muffin tin) with cooking spray. Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water and set aside. 
2.) Place the asparagus in a shallow dish with 2 Tbsp water. Cover with vented plastic wrap, and microwave on high until bright green and just tender…about 3 1/2 minutes. Carefully uncover and place in ice bath to cool, and drain. 
3.) Whisk together the eggs, egg white, milk, salt, and pepper until well blended. Divide the cheese and asparagus among the 4 dishes, and pour the egg mixture on top.
4.) Bake until just set, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or cool.

I hope to make that this week… maybe even later today as this ends my official week off of work and I am back to it tomorrow morning 😀

I posted this review today as part of Beth Fish Reads Weekend Cooking.  Stop over and see what else is cooking this weekend!  😀

In a typical me fashion, after bringing this book home… I seen I already had it on my “To Be Read” Shelves…. so….. my “Doh!” is your “Woo Hoo!” as I am giving my second copy away to one commenter – who shares with me…. what they are having for dinner tonight….  (I will announce the winner of the book Tuesday morning)
