Wonderful Water Globes and Breathtaking Musical SnowGlobes for Christmas Decor
It's 2014 and I love snow globes! It was a difficult choice which image to via Pinterest but I settled on "The Night Before Christmas". That childhood memory never gets old. :)

Childrens Book Review of The Santero's Miracle: A Bilingual Story by Rudolfo Anaya
Mira, It's a combination of acquaintances, bookstores, internet, libraries, and studies. For example, my graduate program related to wherever Portuguese and Spanish are (and have been) spoken. So part of the curriculum included Professor Anaya's ...

The Story of the Leonard Cohen Tribute Concert on the I’m Your Man DVD
Mira, Have there ever been any concerns about Leonard Cohen giving an "off" concert? I'm not aware of any, and it would surprise me if that ever has happened because he seems so present, so completely in the present moment, note by note, in his ...

How to Use Paper.li to Promote your Online Writing and eCommerce Stores
I was fascinated and decided I'd like to sign up for Paperli but then when I got further into it, it looked as though it wanted to take over my computer, certainly Yahoo and Google + did but as I've had two bad experiences, one with Twitter and ...

Childrens Book Review of The Night of Las Posadas Written and Illustrated by Tomie dePaola
Mira, You are welcome. Mexican and Latin American literatures are distinctive in the worlds which they create in readers' imaginations. The journey through their literatures may be challenging because of unfamiliar symbolism but it is rewarding. ...

Cuckoo Clocks Today
That is definitely one issue with cuckoo clocks and Grandfather clocks. When they need repair, it is often costly. The battery-operated clocks are a bit easier to handle, though. Even if they need a complete new set of works, the repair is ...

Childrens Book Review of The Santero's Miracle: A Bilingual Story by Rudolfo Anaya
But where do you find these books? At the local library? I wish our libraries here had more books. When you go to the central branch of the municipal library and all you have for books to borrow are two very small rooms . . . you begin to wonder ...

The Story of the Leonard Cohen Tribute Concert on the I’m Your Man DVD
I think he commented somewhere that he really wanted to be "just" a poet, but he couldn't make a living that way, so he became a poet singer-songwriter. I agree that his appearing comfortable and vulnerable at the same time, open to the audience ...

Childrens Book Review of The Night of Las Posadas Written and Illustrated by Tomie dePaola
Mira, It's quite a sight to see the candlelit, sand-filled paper-bag lanterns (farolitos) and the controlled bonfires (luminarias). There's such a sense of ancientness, timelessness, and timeliness in a setting such as New Mexico. It's a new ...

Childrens Book Review of The Santero's Miracle: A Bilingual Story by Rudolfo Anaya
Mira, For me, I appreciate the clear, current information which a top-quality children's book -- such as Professor Anaya's story in this case -- can give me on a topic of interest when I'm feeling underinformed and overwhelmed. My preference for ...

The Story of the Leonard Cohen Tribute Concert on the I’m Your Man DVD
Mira, Leonard Cohen comes across very comfortably in public performances, which is amazing because he also conveys a certain vulnerability. In his private life he seems to be reclusive, so it must require amazing inner resources for him to ...
