Review Style

In my view, the primary focus should be on encouraging the writers to write. I do not review items I don't enjoy anymore because I see it as a waste of my time. So, if you get a review from me, I enjoyed reading your work. The amazing thing about this whole process is that reading an inspiring review usually leads to me reading more of a reviewer's work also. So, it's a win-win.

I'm good at...

encouraging others to write because I love to read.

I will not review...

something I do not like. I do not enjoy writing hyper-critical reviews. I do NOT believe that "honesty" is a synonym for "mean." If I see someone being "mean" here on the public reviewing page, in group behaviors, or just acting as a bully I will not send them my reviews. The only exception to that would be judging a site contest - there all items get honest (and hopefully diplomatic) reviews of the work from me with no exceptions.

Review by ♥HOOves♥

Rated: ASR | N/A (Review only item.)

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews"

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

You had added to your journal with everything so here I am to read and review. Happy 23rd Account Anniversary Month!!

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I thought about how you keep your sense of humor even when things are challenging and when they are happening now. Getting stuck in the chair must have been scary.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

It made me smile that Kitty/Bella associates cooking with a noise she doesn't want to hear because of when it happened. Those smoke alarms are so loud.

It is nice that you can look back at things that were scary and have a good laugh at what went on now that everyone is past it and safe.

Nicely done!

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

I saw you had updated your Journal so here I am to read and review as we get closer to your 23rd Account Anniversary coming up!

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I thought about when things go wrong and back ups don't work. I was going to get a stair lift until I heard stories about them getting stuck halfway up the stairs. Or about being stuck in one and the power goes out.

At least you would be sitting down in the chair, hopefully comfortably.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

A lot of things go on when there is a storm of any kind. It is like the saying about expect the unexpected. We never know what the future will bring. We try to prepare for any eventuality, but sometimes we get blindsided and surprised.

Experience has taught me to prepare for the worst I can imagine then if it doesn't materialize it's a nice surprise.

At least you had some delicious take out food to eat. That can be very comforting in a sticky situation.

Thanks for sharing the ups and downs of your experience!

I saw you had updated your journal so I came to comment on one entry and send a review for another. I like the way you keep up with your Journaling and Blogging!

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

This sounds like the perfect way to spend a day, going to CVS and being with someone you enjoy.

I hope you go some place fun for lunch!

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

It all sounds positive to me. For yesterday, my entry would be I went for a medical test, waited too long and saw a lot of people who couldn't move very well.

Medical stuff is for the birds. Legal stuff is right behind it. It's like scary glimpses into the future. It is better to write about things we are interested in, and spend time with people we enjoy.

I think you are definitely on the right track!

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

I saw you had updated your Blog so here I am reading and reviewing as we get closer to your 23rd Anniversary!! Yay!!

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I think you have some wonderful collections of things that reflect interests of yours and those you shared with your beloved Mom. What a lovely tribute you have for her and for your Dad's memory, too. I bet they are smiling up in heaven, knowing how they are remembered and how you treasure things associated with them.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

It is nice that you share things with others, too. Everything sounds lovely. Tom's best friend passed in January. His wife has moved to a place on one level. Her house just sold, which is a blessing. She was so worried because of so much stuff. I think a lot of people are going through this. I am going to ask the yard guy, when I see him to take some stuff for scrap here that I have been hanging on to. As you say, there is plenty that is full of memories here, without holding on to more than I need.

Very inspirational and I think a lot of people are going through this kind of thing on some level.

Hard times. I couldn't believe the number of people getting those CT scans today.

Just overwhelming and it's good to cherish the shared memories with treasured collections.

Your things sound lovely!

Review of A Journal With Everything

for entry "Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust "

Review by ♥HOOves♥

In affiliation with Paying It Forward

Rated: ASR | N/A (Review only item.)

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews"

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

I saw you had updated your Journal Entries so I decided to come and send a review.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

At first, I might assume that faith and trust are the same. But I think a person can have faith, but lose trust. Maybe that is because Faith is God and Trust is what we have in other people that sometimes lets us down.

What is best is when we feel strong with both Faith and Trust in God so that we can be strong no matter how humans let us down in life.

Like Medical dealings. That is where the trust has been lost, but we still put our faith in something greater than humans with medical diplomas. Pieces of paper in some cases.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I like the Pixie Dust Part. Sometimes, in life, if we are lucky we feel like God is really with us at that moment. I felt it in Arlington last year a couple of times. I have no doubt that God was with me and carried me where I needed to be and saw me through to get it done.

There is nothing like that spiritual connection to lift us up. It is the closest thing to magical that I've ever experienced.

Very thoughtful entry for your journal!

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews"

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

You had updated your Journal of Faith so here I am to read and review.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

You inspired me to read and reread the psalms. You and another friend of mine inspired me to start doing that shortly after Tom died. Also, I got a devotional book from amazon because you said you like to read Devotionals. I got a book called "Trusting God With Every Breath". It has a page for each date of the year. I read in there to get messages from God, but you are the one who first told me about getting comfort from Devotionals.

Sometimes, I feel like the Devotional is God telling me to be patient or God reassuring me, but speaking to me.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I think we reach for faith more after a hard loss. It is natural to do that and God knows we will need him more than so he shows us things that we are open to.

Some days, I just ask for a sign that I'm on the right track. I am not sure if I get the right meaning or not, but I try to be open to getting comfort along the way.

You inspire others who are struggling and I feel like God is very okay with that.

Keep reaching that comfort as the days unfold.

Rated: ASR | N/A (Review only item.)

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews"

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

I saw you had updated this so I came to read and review.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I feel like my energy is draining lately, just like you say here. It's like I procrastinate because I can't face getting things done. It is so hard to follow up on things without Tom. But Tom who was healthy and made me laugh, not Tom who was fading. So, it's a while back in time now.

When I sort out the difference in my head I realize that he was sick for a long time. Sometimes it takes a while to sort things out that happened. Having to deal with annoying things is a distraction, sometimes a very unwelcome one, but still a distraction.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I think you are in reality getting a lot accomplished. You just can't see the big picture from the outside looking in. They told me to do one thing a day and that would be a lot for the first year after a huge loss.

So, I kept a list of what to do and then crossed off. Remember how it took me from March to October to do something about his car? Things like that in the rear view mirror look different.

After a year and three months I quit doing that. Now, some days I don't do anything.

But when I do get things done it is a good feeling that I didn't have before. So, maybe, ever so slowly it's going to get better.

I really hope it starts to get better for you in ways you can see. Thank you, as always, for sharing your journey during such a difficult time!

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

I saw you had updated this so I came to read and send a review.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I thought about music and how songs come out. I like songs with melodies. My grandson likes songs with melodies. The generation in between, not so much.

My Dad didn't get my music. I couldn't take his music. Now, I hear some of his music in movies and I think well wait a minute, it's not so bad.

Maybe someday people who hate the music of my youth so much will hear something and appreciate it. I hear a lot of Beatles Music used in commercials and movies now.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I like how you have an open mind to listen to music you haven't heard before. I also like how you are respectful and honest about your opinions.

My Dad used to say my music was "noise."

I thought his music was boring.

We both should have been nicer and had more open minds. But time shows us the way doesn't it?

Good luck with the Newsfeed Challenge!

HAPPY 23rd WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews"

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

It is your 23rd Account Birthday! I came to read and send a review. I found my way from another item to this poem. The other item is a prose item about Diana's life.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I notice this was written in 2007, ten years after Diana's untimely death. I love the title of this and the reference to the flowers. I can picture her as a young girl wearing a flowered crown. I think that is an actual photograph that I am remembering.

I think that in my whole like I never saw anyone as lovely as Princess Diana. She is my contemporary. Her death was a shock that I remember everything about the night it happened. When I first heard there was an accident and that she had a minor injury somehow I knew that it was more serious than that. Why did I know. Because it happened in Paris.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

This poem really resonates with me, especially this part:

"Her little sins need not be
accounted for now.
I left her cold.
I think of her from time to time,
while a retired nun delivers
the newspapers like an Eleanor Rigby."

"All the lonely people."

Yes, I agree that Eleanor Rigby is the perfect song because Diana always embraced people who were lost, people like the ones in the song.

I thought this was brilliant and timeless. Her sons do not speak now. Still the center of attention, though, because of her.

Very moving and I wonder if you still think of her in the same way. I know I do.

Well done!

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I was thinking about Bob Evans and how we had one close by in Maryland. We used to go there for breakfast a lot. It was always crowded and did a good business. I do not know why we don't have them here as we are in the south. Maybe there is too much competition from Waffle House.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

Well, my tummy growled at Bob Evans, thinking about that menu.

I was glad that the lawyer seems competent. Hopefully, she will get things done and communicate well with you guys. Sounds like things are on the right track. Does she normally do estates? If so then things should be fine.

Now, it is a waiting time. That's what we do with Doctors and lawyers. Hurry up and do our parts and then wait a long time for them to do theirs.

But you seem off to a good start, you really do.

I saw how your Game of Thrones Chronicles had been updated so I came to read and send a review.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

You have created a lot of interesting characters of different natures, who are forced to work together to get along.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I liked how the Dragon organizes everything and finds a way to straighten out Angus, the troublemaking soul. So, the solution is that Angus goes to live elsewhere since he is the problem. Otherwise, the friends can live in harmony and enjoyment. It seems like in life there is always a version of Angus around to create troubles for others.

I like that Stephanie is the peace keeper and comes up with a solution that gets everyone back to what they enjoy.

Maybe that is a good message for our leaders in the real world to find solutions.

Very well written and the characters are vivid and well drawn.

Fine work!

You always try your best to do the right thing and are an inspiration to me and to others. We have to believe that things will get better and that our faith will see us through. Some days are definitely more challenging than others.

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

You had updated so here I am to review and send my thoughts about your latest journal entry.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I think being in nature and seeing nature can be very comforting. When I saw a bird recently, I found it very uplifting and comforting at the same time to watch the bird and appreciate its beauty and ability to leave the earth on its own.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I used to drive by herds of cattle on my way to my mother's house. I would go the long way in order to see the cows and calm down. It really helped me.

Flowers help, too. It makes me smile to see the beauty that comes with spring. Where Tom is at Arlington is a beautiful setting, so peaceful and so lovingly maintained. It brought me comfort to be there.

I think that spring brings us beauty and renewal. Sometimes, we have to find our ways to it, but it's there. I miss how people used to look at photos that would fade over time. I still find peace looking at images of flowers blooming and animals in the field.

Lovely entry and reminder of what is good and spiritual in our surroundings.

HAPPY 1st WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews"

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

It is your first account anniversary week so I meandered over to read and review one of your poems. The description is what drew me in as I have also held a paw in this way.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I think that they truly pick and rescue the human in us. It is not the other way around although humans like to believe it is.

For me, it presents the most profound and moving time. How do we ever say goodbye to such a friend. But they help us when the time comes to do it for them. It is the most painful, yet beautiful connection to have.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"I can't help but think
of what life would be like
if you hadn't rescued me."

It is profound and true. But it doesn't mean that we aren't afraid to try again.

You have captured the essence of caring form someone more than we do ourselves. Very profound and painful too.

Eloquent poetry - well done. I wouldn't change a thing in this inspired writing. We all know who is in control in the relationship I think. Those who have experienced the connection and the love.

Rated: 13+ | N/A (Review only item.)

HAPPY 10th WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews"

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

This is an activity that I am looking forward to. It brings back a lot of childhood memories for me and I hope I can do justice to it in June.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

You have things set up very well and it is clear. It is up to us to make the most of it and do justice to all the music and life changing stuff where the Beatles really were the soundtracks of our lives.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I particularly remembered how I was a child when "Meet the Beatles" was released. I think it was called "With the Beatles" in the UK and had different tracks. I thought I was buying a Beatles album, but it was some imitation Beatles thing. My Dad went into the store (I think it was a Woolworth's) and yelled at them and got me my "Meet the Beatles" album. I played it and played it until I wore it out.

It is in a plastic cover now and if I take it out, I think it would crumble. It is one of the few vinyl albums I have left.

So many memories from so long ago. I did love those Beatles, but now it's all about how my Dad did all that for me. I wish he was still around to fight my battles.

Things like that come to mind and I know this will be enjoyable and I hope I can do justice to my part in the activity. Thanks for thinking of it and giving me something positive to look forward to.

Fine work - well planned and organized!

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I meant to watch the race, but totally forgot about it. I used to watch it with my parents, then my mother after my Dad was gone. We would enjoy seeing all the hats, flowers and fashions.

It is a sign of spring when the race happens. My brother had told me about the mud. I love horses.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

You have written a good summary of what happened with all the relevant information. My brother bet on the race and tried to tell me what happened, but your summary is much better. I don't think he cares about the fashions or the music much.

I missed it, but you help me feel like I was there so thank you!!

Review of The Absence of Wavelength and Sight

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I thought about how music can evoke memories and looking back can be enlightening. We don't always see what's there at the time it happens, especially with youth in the mix.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

This was my favorite passage:

"Everything played like your name.
I loved you more than any other,
when that rain returned again."

I think anyone who reads this will have a memory that fits this scenario. Maybe not exactly, but close enough.

Well chosen words that are a pleasure to read. Well done. Sometimes it takes a long time to put things in perspective.

Thanks again for entering! I enjoyed reading your entry very much!

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I thought about how our perspectives change as time passes. Looking back, we see a clearer picture even if we all remember it as it pertained to our own lives and experiences.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"I still believed in romance when I first saw you on MTV.
That was the decade it turned out I was destined to be alone but free."

There's that perspective that makes it clear that his music has an impact on the youth of the time.

I like how you have made this all titles. That is very clever and creative and I think they make perfect sense.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

This is my favorite part because you capture the free spirit that is Prince:

"Release It
Come
Free The Music
Life Can Be So Nice"

I see him riding through the streets on his bike, smiling when I read this.

Nice work!

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I think you have captured Prince and his stage presence very well with your poem.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

This is my favorite passage:

"With the thunder of applause, he
Exits the stage with a nod and a thank you."

His absence is still felt and I think that his music lives on. I like that in your poem he exits modestly because I think that was a big part of his magic.

Thanks again for entering! I enjoyed reading your poetic entry very much!

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I think your poem captures the whimsical spirit of Prince and his music very well. My last image of him is him riding his bike in his neighborhood - seemingly unworried and carefree. This fits perfectly with that picture I keep in my mind.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I like this passage:

"I could have gotten lost in my imagination -
Again and again and a turn for good measure
In a little red corvette
Back in 1999."

Lovely poetry - each word very well chosen!

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I think you have captured the essence of April weather. It certainly seems to be Mix and Match so your title is a good one. I like how you coordinate the song titles into your poem.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

This is a fine passage:

"Somewhere Here On Earth,
There is peace and not war.
Just have to find that peaceful town."

A lot of people will identify with these words I believe. To find that "peaceful town" would shine a light on us all.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I think you weave an enchanted tale of two people who come together for the right reasons. He is everything she wanted, but she knew that even without the title and treasures. Both of their hearts seem true and honest, which makes for very appealing characters. As a reader, I wanted the best for them.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I enjoyed how you use the song titles to describe the scene and how they fit so well in the descriptions and in what happens to the characters.

This shows a lot of imagination and creativity. Well done!

I think this took a lot of hard work and effort, but you make it flow so well that it seems effortless. I wouldn't change a thing.

Thanks again for entering! I enjoyed reading your entry very much!

Review of A Journal With Everything

for entry "Loving Life"

Review by ♥HOOves♥

In affiliation with Paying It Forward

Rated: ASR | N/A (Review only item.)

This is a tough time, but in tough times it is good to shift focus to positive things.

Did you know this year is also the 100th anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald's book, The Great Gatsby? So, I think he and Jane Austen will get a lot of attention this year, which is good.

Wouldn't Jane be amazed to know that we think of her and remember her important times in a way that no other author can come close to? I think it's pretty amazing and it's because people like you keep her memory alive.

I wonder how many people put up obstacles for Jane Austen and F. Scott Fitzgerald. I love the people who encouraged them and who remember and cherish their writings.

So, well done!
