DVD ~ Zay Harding
Thrilling Travel Documentary
"Globe Trekker: Canada" is a satisfying travel dvd that covers quality information on various places in mainland Canada such as certain rodeo events and the West Edmonton mall. There are also scene inclusions on Arctic Canada. One of the men shown on the dvd does some crazy stuff such as drink Yukon jack containing a petrified toe, but he also has a sense of humor when eating rocky mountain oysters. My husband and I wanted to watch this dvd because of our shared intent to visit Canada around the December 2014 to February 2015 timeframe. "Globe Trekker: Canada is a galvanizing travel dvd for those who are interested in some of the cultural pastimes of Canada and/or plan to visit Canada in the future.

Britain
Unique Magazine
"Britain" magazine contains a wide assortment of cultural sights to partake in for those curious about what is available in the UK area and/or those who plan to visit. Subscribing to this magazine is worthwhile for my husband and I due to our shared intent to at least visit England around the December 2016-February 2017 timeframe. I have the July 2013 magazine issue in front of me that includes the following:
Pages 15-22: Scottish Gardens
Pages 25-31: A list of what to do and where to go around Britain.
Pages 32-37: Coverage on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Prince William and Kate Middleton)
Pages 58-67: Hidden England

Electric
Bright Electric
"Electric" by Pet Shop Boys is a satisfying song collection of electronica and synth pop type hits. There is something for many people on "Electric" and the musical style points to how the Pet Shop Boys are getting even better. "Axis", "Love Is A Bourgeois Construct","Flourescent", "The Last To Die", "Thursday" (feat. Example), and "Vocal" are among the phenomenal tracks included in "Electric". I have had the chance to watch their "Vocal" music video which is also superb. "Electric" by Pet Shop Boys is an excellent music feature for casual fans, diehard Pet Shop Boys fans, and/or those who enjoy elements of synth-pop and electronic music.
The Calling of Your True Self
Higher Self Relationship
"The Calling Of Your True Self" by Elizabeth Anne Bell resonated with me due to my own determined intent to continually work towards a powerful connection with my soul. I have much to be thankful for, but my spirituality provides a healing balm in my life. I consider myself to have a thick skin and a tough emotional strength against prejudgements on both my personality and physical appearance. However, I struggle the most with accepting my physical appearance due to trying to feel a sense of belonging culturally. I try to make myself feel welcome in all three of the racial demographic groups that I belong to, but there have been instances where I have been subtly questioned on not looking or "acting' the part to belong to any of the groups (technically rendering me just other). Information on "The Calling Of Your True Self" helps remind me to strive to connect on focusing more on my inner self in the face of such a spiritual tests. The following is some of the helpful information included in this book:
Pages 20-28: The inner voice and the role of meditation in strengthening this area.
Pages 37-42: Positive Thinking And The Aura.
Pages 55-62: Information On Guardian Angels.
Pages 63-70: Ways to Tap Into the Sixth Sense.
"The Calling Of Your True Self" by Elizabeth Anne Bell is a healing book to turn to for spiritual and emotional nourishment.
Political Negotiations And Opulence
"Diplomacy and Diamonds: My Wars From The Ballroom To The Battlefield" by Joanne King Herring gloriously tells about her journeys in both her personal life and political matters. What she recounts would actually make for an interesting and watchable film. The following are some of the colorful details mentioned in the book:
Pages 54-61- What looks to be a press release on her "Roman Orgy" themed party that happened in July 1959. It is not what you think, some of the helpers that enthusiastically helped at her party came from the local Boy Scout group.
Pages 78-79- Herring mentions her meetings with such well known men as Sean Connery and the late Frank Sinatra.
Page 113-117-French politician Raymond Marcellin once proposed marriage to Joanne King Herring.
Page 171- She mentioned how her late husband Bob Herring would enjoy her company to the point that she accompanied him on many of his overseas business dealings.
There are also fascinating details on her relationship with the late politician Charlie Wilson. From her honest memoirs, I can only deduce that her late husband Bob Herring was her true love and Charlie Wilson helped heal her pain. I respect her apparent intent to be careful about what to disclose about her dealings with Charlie Wilson due to her being a Christian woman. In all fairness, she did disclose information that could have indicated that they were mutually in love with each other. It appears that Wilson may have broken her heart to the point where she felt naturally hesitant about ever rekindling the flame of romance with him. However, one of my caveats was that I was left hoping for more information on other get together dates they may have had (maybe other details could be featured in a movie on Joanne Herring's life?). Joanne King Herring also convincingly tells her side of the story on their (hers and Charlie Wilson's involvement) regarding information pertaining to what was covered in the movie "Charlie Wilson's War." Much more compelling information is included and "Diplomacy And Diamonds" by Joanne King Herring is a fascinating read for those who liked the "Charlie Wilson's War" movie and/or are curious about the life of a multi-dimensional socialite.
