Babushka's Summer Reading 2019

Childrens Books, Navy Life  Inspirational, Spiritual

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!
Reading has always been a favorite past time for BB. Si, she has her kindle/online books, pero there's something about an actual libro that transfixes Babushka. The smell of a new book, the physical turning of paginas, the placement of bookmarks, all magical. Honestamente, one of the few things BB looks forward to of summer is reading. This year is one of learning/betterment/acceptance on all levels and reflect that in the choices. Some libros were purchased, algunos given to read, ALL son vibes/subjects Babushka follows or was called to. Porque Beautifuls, spending time focusing on something you really don't care for?  JU SO FONII!!!

The Nehemiah Code by O.S. Hawkins
For those of you who follow Babushka, you know that the giving of Gratitude is a major punto.  Not religous persay, pero definitely considering herself spiritual, BB was looking for a calm, spiritual empowerment to start her early morning Lyft rides and came across the radio program Turning Point with Dr. Jeremiah  On this particular morn, the libro The Nehemiah Code and its message was being discussed. 

When we are in the process of rebuilding (no matter what it is we are seeking to rebuild), there are not just things that need to be done, but things that need to be undone. There are habits that need to be broken and hearts that need to be healed. Anyone who has ever sought to rebuild a marriage, a business, a dream, or a church knows this to be true. It often is easier to walk away and start over than it is to invest the effort and energy needed for rebuilding. But if we are ever going to be successful in rebuilding, it is essential that we get started right.   
O.S. Hawkins

BB had been thinking just that Beautifuls, that it was time to rebuild. Time to get it right.
And then they said esto-

“In one way or another, most of us will spend some or much of the next year trying to rebuild something. The good news is . . . it’s never too late for a new beginning.”

FROM THE NEHEMIAH CODE —p. 1


Wow and Woah. You can't get much claro than that verdad? Time to put aside the doubts, the trepidations, the excuses of why things didn't get better. Age had nada to do with it. It is fear that keeps one back,and being comfortable in the uncomfortable.  Si, definitivamente a libro to read. Los puntos :

For a spiritual libro, seems kinda straight to the punto. Look forward to this, need this.

If the prior libro will help rebuild, then this one is the next step, porque what good is rebuilding if you can't rebuild for the greater good? Para algo you believe in?  This is the premise de este libro and  Karen B. Moore definitivamente is an expert in this.

Earlier this year BB had the pleasure of hearing Karen speak.  Babushka had worked on campaigns managed by Karen's agency, but this was the first time seeing her in person. Dynamic, passionate, funny and straight to the point, if the book is just 1/4 as potent as her presentations, this is gonna be BUENISIMO!!

TALES FROM MY SEA BAG Memories of the U.S.S. Trenton by Luis Sung


It has been said that to do well in the future one must know their past. In the next libro of the Summer Reading List, BB is proud to say that the author of  TALES FROM MY SEA BAG Memories of the U.S.S. Trenton (LPD 14) was a high school friend of Babushka. We were in chorus together, and Babushka remembers Luis Sung as a fun loving, yet serious kinda guy.  No surprise that he would have joined one of the armed forces. Noble y sincero then, and apparently igual today.

Parece he still has that kinda warped, fun sentido de humor. 
Evidently Babushka isn't the only one to enjoy this.

"Journey back through childhood classics like Peter Pan, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and more in this adorable picture book about the joys of reading!

There is nothing like a book to take you to places you’ve never been. Best friends Foxy and Piggy can’t wait to tell each other about all of their adventures in reading! Flying over Neverland, swimming with a mermaid, joining in a mad tea party, soaring on a magic carpet—old classics come to life in the eyes of two little readers who can’t believe what they’ve seen. Journey back to old favorites and experience the magic all over again."


So don't fret if y'all no ven a Babushka mucho este verano.
She'll be sitting in the ac, libro en mano,drinking her iced cafesito.

May the magia of Summer and Reading be yours.
