Stay Strong and Stand with Author Aleja Bennett facebook.com/staystrongandstand says

Hi, would love for you to accept my friend request, I’m the Author of six books about love-romance-life-self-help-strength-spirituality-non-fiction etc. If you are delighted by the two poems below maybe you will consider adding my six books to your shelf. Books are available for sale below, Enjoy. They make great gifts for all occasions and celebrations.

I Love you

I love you to the moon
I love you to the end of the planets.

I love you till there's no love in the equator
I love you knowing nothing could be greater
I will love you from now until decades later.

Let me love you now not later
let me love you to
Northern skies
Western hemispheres
without worries, fears or cares.

Allow me to love you
until you care
Open up-heal from old wounds
that you start to share.

Our love is genuine-it can't compare.
Now your love has opened
like a brand new gift on Christmas
See what happens when you allow
someone to love you.

The World As We See It

The world as we see it gone
The world as we see it vague
The world-our world
Your world-my world
God created.

The world as we see it
No longer pure-safe
The world as we see it
Wish to run-hide-escape.

The world as we see it gone
The world as we see it vague.

The world that once was
Free from sin-a world where
Anger-hatred-lies to fall in
The world that ate forbidden
Fruit, that sends our
Bones to hell
Biblical verses of
Old that still
Prevail.

The world that we use to know
The world as we see it gone
The world as we live in it
Vague.

The Ancient One says

Eight Gifts That Don't Cost a Cent

by Steve Goodier

This simple checklist can help measure how you are nurturing your relationships. The author of these thoughts is unknown, but deeply appreciated.

The Gift of Listening
But you must really listen. Don't interrupt, don't daydream, don't plan your response. Just listen.

The Gift of Affection
Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back, and handholds. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.

The Gift of Laughter
Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."

The Gift of Solitude
There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.

The Gift of a Favor
Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.

The Gift of a Written Note
It can be a simple, "Thanks for the help," note or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime.

The Gift of a Compliment
A simple and sincere, "You look great in red," "You did a super job," or "That was a wonderful meal," can make someone's day.

The Gift of a Cheerful Disposition
The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone.

These are eight important ways we can contribute toward whole and healthy relationships. They cost nothing, yet they may well be the most valuable gifts we can ever offer another.

Hi Katie,
Thanks. I am reading Olive Kitterage. It is really insightful. Also, I finished
The Thirteenth Tale and gave it to Beth. It was a great story and mystery.

Outliers must be very popular. I added it to my holds list at the library (along with the other 2) but am number 466 in the holds queue. The other 2 are much more reasonable holds and I hope to have them sometime this summer.

Anne W says

Hi Katie,
Thanks for the recommendation; I'll check it out. I was just thinking of you, too. I was reading a review of the book The Four Corners of the Sky by Michael Malone in this morning's Post and wondering if you'd heard anything about the book. It sounded like it might be a good summer read.

I am so glad you liked it. I read it again this past week as baseball season was opening.
I just got through the Historian. It completely freaked me out. Just to get over it, I am reading some junk for a couple of weeks, but I am looking for something new. Anything good you recommend? Maybe we could get together for tea or coffee? I can do a morning before my school if you are available. m

Also, I saw you read March and gave it three starts. That author also wrote The Year of Wonder about an actual village in England that voluntary isolated itself during the Plague. Really well written and not as graphic as March. I recommend it. M

okay, I bought The Historian on the sale rack this past summer and can't quite bring myself to start it. It sounded fascinating when I picked it up and now it just sounds scary. Comfort, please.

Yep, "River of Doubt" was my kind of book. I really enjoyed it. Glad that you did too!

I noticed you have Gore Vidal's "Lincoln" on your shelf of books you plan to read. That book holds an amusing memory for David and I that goes back to before we were married. Remind me to tell you about it sometime. Cheers!

How are you getting on with The Historian - I'm about 8 chapters in and am loving it!

kristarogers says

Katie - I visit your shelf now and again for book ideas. I just wish I had more time to read. I think I will try another one of your 5 star books, probably "Book Thief". My mom strongly recommended "Water for Elephants". Marlo is enjoying Anna's big girl clothes. I hope you'all are well. Warm regards, Krista

"Under the Banner of Heaven" is another really good Krakauer book.

Right after I sent you that note, "The Book Thief" clicked with me and I couldn't put it down. It is indeed a very good book.

Suzanne says

I'm having trouble getting through "The Book Thief" I may have to put it down and try again later. Cheers!

Glad you loved "Extremely Loud...". You know, I have "Book Thief" and for some reason didn't get through it. I'll give it another shot. I did not like "Atonement" that much either. Books I've read recently that I recommend: "Assassination Vacation" by Sarah Vowell (hilarious); and "The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel "
By Diane Setterfield

Hey Katie,

Just finished 'Atonement' by Ian McEwen, but didn't enjoy it...

Suzanne says

Just finished "The Road". I can't say, "boy, I really enjoyed reading that book!" I did appreciate its power and I liked the hope at the end for faith and redemption. It would be an interesting discussion for a book group!
