Tom Glazer’s Treasury of Songs for Children, Songs Music, 1964 – From the Columbus Public Library

When my oldest children were small, I came across a tape of childrens music that Tom Glazer had recorded before a live audience. A double love affair for life occurred.

The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent, Living the Art of Allowing, by Esther and Jerry Hicks, (The Teachings of Abraham), Hay House, 2006 – from the Columbus Public Library

I have read another book by Esther and Jerry Hicks and also listened to one of the books on CD. This one I recommend because it helps you put the ideas into practice. It is one thing to read and understand an idea, quite another to actually do it. The book gives many examples of how to use their ideas about changing your thoughts to positive ones. (more…)

I found the part about good questions to ask the employer most helpful. (Don’t read them to the interviewer….) – (more…)

Conquering Autism – Reclaiming Your Child through Natural Therapies

Conquering Autism, Reclaiming Your Child Through Natural Therapies by Stephen B. Edelson, M.D., Kensington Publishing Corp, 2003

I got the book from the Columbus Public Library. I don’t have any autistic children but I find the subject interesting. The number of autistic children in this country is skyrocketing. The author says it is due to pollution and not shots.

I agree with his treatments methods and much of what he has to say. I do disagree with what he says about autism not being due to vaccinations. I believe vaccinations trigger the illness. (more…)
