BunChakeze - Whose Dream ?


A Review By Andrea R. Garrison - Online With Andrea

Who would think that back in 1984 that a group of musicians from the UK would team up with a singer from Los Angeles to create music that was overlooked then but receiving rave reviews today. Perhaps without knowing it BunChakeze was creating a futuristic project. I am actually listening to this CD as I am writing this review and the music on this CD is absolutely amazing. I keep wondering what on earth were those record executives thinking when they turned down such incredible music. It has such dimension and so many harmonic intricacies. Everything about this CD is great including the lyrics which flows so well with the music. Let’s not forget the CD cover which captures your attention. Please don’t ask me which track is my favorite because honestly I cannot decide. I guess it is the tune that is playing at the moment. The entire CD is great so I strongly suggest that you purchase the full CD and sit back and enjoy the music of BunChakeze. Whose Dream is a perfect release for this moment in time. Perhaps many people will hear the music of BunChakeze and finally they will get the recognition that they deserve.

Conspiracies Of Kindness By Michael Ortiz Hill



A Review By Andrea R. Garrison - Online With Andrea

Conspiracies of Kindness The Craft of Compassion at the Bedside of the Ill by Michael Ortiz Hill is a wonderful cozy book that truly reflects the gentle heart of the author. When I started reading this book it was my intent to read a few pages and to continue it at another time. It was such a captivating, heart moving read that I could not put down the softness, the tenderness that it inspired. I felt such a great sense of warmth, compassion and love in my heart that I was speechless. It is a very powerful experience when the writer can actually write about kindness and ignite it in the heart of the reader. This book is genuinely a warm and sensitive read that goes beyond words. Quite honestly anything that I write, anything that I say would be inadequate and certainly fall short of the experience I had reading this precious book by this gentle soul. If you would like to learn more about kindness and compassion this is the book to read. If you would like to feel kindness and compassion in your heart this is the book to read. If you want to curl up with a good book this is the book to read. What else can I say other than thank you Michael Ortiz Hill for your gift of kindness and compassion. I am genuinely touched and inspired by your journey, your work and your book Conspiracies of Kindness.

What Peace There May Be A Memoir by Susanna Barlow is a very heart wrenching read about what it was like to grow up being abused and sequestered in a Mormon fundamentalist religious home the 23rd child of 46 children. This is a true story of surrender, survival and triumph. Susanna is no longer in a polygamous household. She is in a traditional marriage with a wonderful husband and six children. She was able to overcome her paralyzing childhood to become an activist speaking out against abuse. Her triumph is encouraging and inspirational. Her memoir is an important book to read.
