You might ask, Dear Reader, why any victim of emotional abuse would be afraid of being freed from it. Isn’t freedom from the abuse exactly what we victims crave? That freedom is...

The Magic System in Mage on the Hill

by Angel Martinez

Several of my early readers wanted more information on how the Web of Arcana, the magical system in the series of the same name, works. Some of them wanted a bit of history, too, but we’ll just stick to the web itself for now.

Major Arcana:...

The Road to Hana is one of the best things to do in Maui (and all of Hawaii). This road trip along the north shore of the island to the less visited eastern side takes place on a narrow winding road through lush rainforest.

Along the way you can stop at waterfalls, gardens, black, red and golden...

Прошло пять лет с выхода первой книги и примерно год с момента окончания работы над монографией. Сегодня вечером получил последнюю и самую важную рецензию на мою работу. 

За оказанную помощь я безмерно признателен leonid_b и a_rakovskij. Для меня это очень важно. 

Надеюсь, что сподобимся к концу...

I’ve been waiting to write an Avengers Endgame review with spoilers. I went to the cinema twice, and I sobbed like a baby. (I’m pretty sure I’ll cry every time I see this movie, just as I do with the Lion King.) So, I’ve behaved, and now I’ll be reviewing the film, taking some tissues while I rem...

Si quieres aprender alemán y aumentar significativamente tu nivel en tan sólo 3 meses el curso que te traigo hoy es para ti.

Lo que pasa es que viajo constantemente y no puedo asistir a un curso.

Viajo como Aupair a Alemania y no tengo conocimiento sobre el idioma. ¿Puedes indicarme algún progra...

Happy Friday! This is the first time I review a collection by different authors so I’m uncertain how to go about it LOL.  As a whole I rate it a 4

A drunk’s tale.

Before I start this week’s post in earnest, I promised to let you know how I set up my table for ComicCon this year.

Behold! The crates are just standard pine crates found at Home Depot, Michael’s, Canadian Tire, etc. that hubs and I stained, painted, roughed up and generally beat the crap out of...

At the end of my senior year in college, a Facebook trend popped up called “The 60 Day Challenge.” It was a fun little game with 60 days of writing prompts, and every day you shared a photo and story about yourself based on the prompt. I started doing the 60 Day Challenge along with … Continue re...

There is still a faint reminder of the spot where a wasp stung my leg when I was in my preteens. Needless to say, I am not a fan of these part-ant part-bee looking flying insects. We had a clothesline in the backyard of my childhood home, and while I was going outside to unpin the dry clothes,...

Cum trăim pe o planetă care ne înnebunește? Cum rămânem oameni într-o lume tehnologică? Cum să fim fericiți când anxietatea ne pândește de peste tot?

După ce a suferit de atacuri de panică, anxietate și depresie, despre care a scris în bestsellerul Câteva motive să iubești viața, Matt Haig a medi...

The Dawning sky

Is the Creator’s canvas

of Eternity.

Ineffables washes of Violet & Rose

over ethereal Blue

the sublime strokes of Divinity.

Humanity is a scrawled sketch

cities and highways a blight

hastily rendered on the page back of Mortality.

The tainted talent of mankind’s futility

A meager attemp...

Whenever other people say we’ve got to keep things in perspective, I wonder whose perspective they’re talking about—mine or theirs. Perspective is more than a point of view. It’s looking at things closely and looking from a distance.

Sometimes what immediately appears to be a full-blown crisis lat...

Get a load of me. 
Aren’t I just so pretty?
With my natural hair 
and my big brown eyes
catching all that natural light

You can stare for a little bit
but make sure you know 
I don’t care what you have to say, 
or how you really feel because
My focus is my wants 
and they and I am always right

Tread with ca...

Revesti-vos de toda a Armadura de Deus, para poderdes ficar firmes contra as ciladas do diabo; porque a nossa luta não é contra o sangue e a carne, e sim contra os principados e potestades, contra os dominadores deste mundo tenebroso, contra as forças espirituais do mal, nas regiões celestes. Po...

I love Brené Brown’s story.

A “late bloomer,” Brené graduated from her undergrad when she was 29 years old, then proceeded straight into her master’s and Ph.D. programs. She experienced first-hand the impact of amazing professors and knew what she wanted her life’s work to be—changing the lives...

To the amazing cast and crew…Thank You…

I won’t be long-winded with this post…but I just want to take this opportunity to thank the cast and crew for their amazing job with this TV series. I know its not the ending that I wanted but everyone that was involved with this show did a hell of an amazin...

I am spending a few days alone to think about a few things.  Working on Little Shiva’s tongues, which are sharpening up nicely, thinking about the overstitching once the stabilizing job is done, have purchased some eco warrior planters to form the Damaru for the base. They will require some resha...

Nearly every elementary school teacher will need to prep a lesson on fairy tales, specifically comparing fairy tale versions. Many wonderful options exist, and many we’ve used ourselves: Cinderella (and the endless string of knock-offs from Halloween versions to blockbuster adaptations to interna...
