‘Broken Ground’ a great audio novel I recently listened to: The story is about Kathe Shalk, who after living in America for many years, returns to Berlin to try to come to terms with the Berlin of her youth.

Her journey from America to the broken ground of contemporary Germany becomes an act of recovery: of lives intertwined by politics and passion, of memory and the invented self, and of Kaethes search for a daughter lost to her, now grown and living in uncompromising isolation from her mothers past and present, somewhere in vast, resurgent Berlin.

This made for highly captivating listening, the audio book – even though it’s fiction – paints a good picture of todays political landscape in Germany, the conflicts between the USA and the old world and shows how people can be caught up in this.

Good listening!

In the audio book ‘All The Best, George Bush‘, that is read by the President himself, with Barbara Bush, Dorothy Bush Koch, Marvin Bush, Neil Bush, George P. Bush and Jonathan Bush, you will gain insight about an unknown part of former President Bush (senior).

Though reticent in public, George Bush has openly shared his private thoughts in his correspondence throughout his life. Organized chronologically, the volume begins with eighteen-year-old George’s letters to his parents during World War II when, at the time he was commissioned, he was the youngest pilot in the Navy. Listeners will gain insights into Bush’s career highlights – the oil business, his two terms in Congress, his ambassadorship to the U. N., his service as an envoy in China, his tenure with the Central Intelligence Agency, and of course, the vice presidency, the presidency, and the post-presidency.

Mother often passes on the Self-help books when she is through with them. But the books I occasionally read were self-help books that dealt with sexuality, spirituality, religion, love and also the paranormal. I also enjoyed the Life saving book authored by Melody Beatty and titled CODEPENDENT NO MORE, the others include the wonderful compilations of Thomas Moore like SOUL MATES and CARE of the SOUL; A GUIDE to CULTIVATING DEPTH and SACREDNESS in EVERYDAY LIFE.

When I was young, I was a tomboy.

I played with the other boys in the street in games like soccer and cricket. I wasn’t remotely interested in dolls or anything girly. I didn’t want to do skipping games, in fact everything the girls in the neighborhood did looked very boring. My toys were also of the tomboy persuasion and I had 10 toys which I played with the most.

Rainy days were often spent inside with my fort.

It was a well built fort with look out posts. The cavalry soldiers guarded it against the Indian invaders. It was probably the best of my favorite 10 toys. I also had a farm, which had pigs, horses, sheep and cattle. There was a big tree and a well. I made the farmer and his wife work very hard, milking the cows and driving the animals to market.

I also had racing cars which were a bit beat up but I loved them anyway.

I gave each one the name of a racing driver, so there was Stirling Moss, Jack Brabham, Allan Clarke and Graham Hill. A list of favorite..

When it comes to women in business, the rules tend to change.

Now, I do realize that there are numerous women in high ranks of corporations and politics these days, but just hear me out. In my experience men will help each other move up; maybe put in a good word for one another and become allies. This is not typically the case with women in business. In fact, the women I’ve known in upper-scale companies…

With the recent court debates over ‘intelligent design,’ perhaps we should look at Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution without so much emotion.   Much of the negative commentary about evolution is based on misunderstanding of the scientific theory Darwin expounded.

It’s vital to catch a readers attention in the first few seconds, when you write articles, otherwise you risk loosing their interest and they’re gone……. Same as for a political speech, if you don’t provoke thought or controversy, nobody will listen to you.

To get the readers attention, it’s important to start off with a lead paragraph that very briefly describes what you are going to tell the reader and why. You must grab the readers attention and give him a very good reason why reading your article is worth his time.

A great way to write an article is to start the lead paragraph with a statement, then go through the explanations and information that you want to pass on and, in your conclusion, draw a line back to the initial statement you made. This neatly wraps up everything and in the mind of the reader ‘encapsulates’ the article.
