Nixon’s Secrets: How the Former President Blackmailed the Government by Roger Stone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the first book I’ve read by Roger Stone and I really enjoyed it. I have been doing some research on some big events that occurred early in my life, namely between the early 60s and 70s. Watergate was a huge event. This book filled in the gaps. I really enjoyed your book, Roger. Thanks for the painstaking detail in this terrific read!

“My wife accused me of being immature. I told her to get out of my fort.”
My brother is in town this week and it’s an absolute blast he’s here. We went to dinner yesterday and watched a series on HBO Now called Chernobyl. If you haven’t seen this one yet, it’s worth the watch.
I hope all of you are having a great Friday and look forward to the weekend! I’ll be busy talking, watching some shows, and getting caught up with my brother.
Until next time…

Thanks you new followers! I really appreciate your interest. Some of you may have noticed a new posting about my workout routine. I hope this new addition to my blog helps some of you out who may not know what to do when you go to the gym.
I’ll get another posting up later today when I get my PM workout completed. Today, is a day I like to offer my thanks to new followers and anything else I am grateful for. Today, I am grateful for books. Think about how important books are.
Books are a portal to other worlds and times. I enjoy reading philosophy. It is hard to understand sometimes but when I read these books; I imagine Kant speaking in a classroom. I love reading books and so grateful for the Kindle technology that allow us to read on our phones, computers, and tablets.
What are you grateful for? Engage me in the comments. I’d love to hear from you.
Until next time…

“This is how we work with Divine Spirit. We try to look at life and find the laughter wherever we can, whenever we can, because laughter is the healer.”
—Harold Klemp The Language of Soul
Happy Saturday, folks! It’s 16 degrees in Michigan this morning and I am enjoying some soothing music and a cup of coffee.
In today’s crazy world, it is so easy to get riled up and upset with what’s going on in any country. Scandals, crime, disaster, are all the talk of the day. If you go to Twitter, it comes at you lightning fast, spreading, in some cases, rumors that have no basis in reality. Take it easy. Relax. Wait for a story to unfold before jumping on the first tweet or online article that hits the wire. So many people in journalism jump the gun to get the scoop without the necessary fact checking and due diligence, then have to walk it back when the truth comes out.
The same actions can be taken with our lives. So many of us are blind-sided by things. We get bad news and we lose our minds over-reacting. We make assumptions and run with them without knowing the facts. We are all moving at such a fast pace that we forget to take the time to really think about what has occurred.
Take your time, evaluate, look at all of the things you can do to fix the problem or make your situation better. When you take the time to think through things, instead of quick reaction, you’ll start to feel better. Yes, there are real tragedies that hit our lives, there is no way to argue against that. Even these tragedies have a silver lining in most cases. Think. Evaluate. Plan. Execute.
When the reality of your situation is out of your control, you have a choice. You can be pissed off or you can find humor in it. It’s going to be there regardless, so why not be happy with your situation and move on? Laughter makes us feel better. Humor is the antidote to hard times. There will always be challenges in our lives, tragedies, and just outright bad luck. Life is not about what happens to us. It is about how we react to the things that happen to us. You have a choice. I choose happiness.
Until next time…
