The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns begins with a happy and busy triangle. The triangle was very busy with many different jobs. It spent its time making music in the orchestra, catching wind for sailboats, holding up roofs and much more. The triangle’s favorite thing was to slip into place when people put their hands on their hips. He could find out the latest news and tell his friends.

But one day, the triangle became tired of doing the same thing and visited the shapeshifter. The triangle thought if he had one more side and one more angle that life would be more interesting. The shapeshifter granted him his wish and the triangle became a quadrilateral. Life was wonderful with all the new things he could do. He could be a baseball diamond, a computer screen, a window or a checkerboard. The quadrilateral’s favorite thing was to be the pages of…

I don’t normally like short stories, but as soon as I started reading this book (out of curiosity) I instantly fell in love with the stories.

Each story is completely different – although they have a thread going through them of – the darker side of life.

I think my favorite is Blessing or Curse – which actually reflects one of the things that i often think – one good thing happens and then something bad happens to equal it out!

Some might think this is a series of pessimistic outlooks on life – in fact, I have been, myself, on occasion accused of being in this state of mind – however, I choose to call it reality and I like that author Potter has the guts to put down on paper what alot of people think, deep inside their minds. It can be scary to actually admit just how dark the mind…

This book has ten true crime stories included. Kiss Me, Kill Me is the longest story with 128 pages and is about a young pregnant mother who gets killed in her home. The other stories “The Postman Only Killed Once”, What’s Love Got To Do With It? “, “Old Flames Can Burn”, The Lonely Hearts Killer”, The Captive Bride”, “Bad Blind Date”, The Highway Accident”, You Kill Me…Or I’ll Kill You” and “Where Is Julie? ” are shorter stories and average about 25 pages each. The common thread in each of these stories and probably why Ann Rule used them all for this crime file is they are all crimes against women and involved a certain element of trust by the victims for the killer.

Suffice to say all Ann Rule books are brilliant. Her ability to take you into the lives of the victim before they get murdered evokes an…

Yeast Infections (candida) affect many people and cause a myriad of unpleasant symptoms. They are caused by an overgrowth of candida albicans in the body. Although candida albicans occurs naturally in our body in the mouth, throat, digestive tract, intestines and genital areas in small amounts, under less desirable conditions the candida albican can grow uncontrollably to high levels. This creates imbalances, resulting in many unwanted and varying symptoms.

Some of these symptoms include -

• leaky gut syndrome.
• female candida infections causing redness, burning and itching in the genital area.
• male and oral yeast infections.
• allergies and digestive disorders.
• headaches, brain fog and tiredness.
• rashes and burning sensations.
• painful and swollen joints.
• mood swings.

The infection feeds on sugar, so many holistic health practitioners recommend an 8-12 week diet containing no sugar, no yeast and no fungus in order to starve the candida and return yeast levels to a healthy amount in the body.

Yeast Infection No More is a popular…

“Turtle Dolphin Dreams” is an imaginative, thought-provoking exploration of how humans, turtles, dolphins, and other beings in the animal world might connect and learn from one another. Despite its small size, it is not a children’s book but rather a metaphysical and visionary journey for adults, for those who care about our earth, and those concerned about our relationship with the earth and its creatures.

The premise of the story is that turtles have been invited into the dream world of dolphins, and they have been communicating through their dreams for some time. The dolphins wish to communicate with humans as well, but they have had difficulty in reaching us so they have asked a turtle to speak for them because turtles, being amphibians that can breathe both on land and in water, can better communicate with both earth-bound humans and water-bound dolphins.

The turtle narrator, named Turtledove, spends considerable time explaining…
