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.

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

I saw this as a new addition to your portfolio, so I am here to read and send a review for your first entry into the activity. What does BCOF stand for?

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

You make it seem like I (the reader who has never been there) am with you in th exploration of such an interesting place.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

Have you been there before? I think you did a wonderful job of describing and making it interesting. It sounds like you could give an interesting tour of the place. My niece lives near Nasa in Houston. Mr. HOOves was raised in Houston.

But the last time we went there was 1996, way before my niece lived there. She gets a lot of hurricane type weather, but I think she likes it. She goes to comic con stuff but I'm not sure they do much to check out NASA even though they are very close to it.

This sounds like an activity that you will enjoy. I will enjoy reading your entries!

Very cool!!

Hey spidey

HAPPY 21st WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews ~ Summer Break"

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

I just noticed it is your 21st Account Anniversary month! Congrat-MOO-lations!!

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

This poem captures the feeling of loss and grief very well. How can we say goodbye when we don't know when.

Personally, I always worry about the wrong thing when it comes to impending doom.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

The part that sticks with me is "racing to our destination." Life is all about hurrying to the next thing. It makes you wonder what we really are racing to when we have everything life promises. It always seems like there is something more over the horizon. Well, there is, but it isn't necessarily better.

Unfortunately, regret is a constant reminder of what is lost.

I thought this was a very powerful poem and the imagery and the feelings conveyed are very familiar and powerful. Well done.

Hey there, Joy

!!

HAPPY 24th WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews ~ Summer Break"

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

It is your account anniversary so here I am with a review as we move into July!

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

July fills me with anxiety, too. It doesn't make that much sense since all the worst storms here have been after August. But it's the idea that we label July as the start of a scary time.

But with the weather panic that passes for forecasting these days, it's hard to imagine a season that doesn't have scary elements to it.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I like the idea of live in the now and don't get tied up with anxiety. Let it Be plays in my mind.

I don't know about you, but in my life I have found (from experience) that I always worry about and prepare for the wrong thing.

But then I think well, if I am prepared maybe it means nothing will happen bad. But that doesn't make any sense when I stop and ponder. Did my worrying and preparing make all these things not happen? Food for thought.

June is a hot month going out the door. I think the thing about July for me is I notice that the daylight time is less. It makes it seem more ominous. Maybe if I lived in Australia where it's winter, it would be better.

I ended up where I was meant to end up I think. But we get hurricanes too, even far inland ones as last year proved.

So, we do our best to carry on and do the right thing, never knowing what will work.

I guess that is where faith comes in. Very thoughtful entry in your Blog!

This is a lovely image for me from Lizco252!

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews ~ Summer Break"

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

I saw it was your first account anniversary so here I am to read and send my thoughts for your very engaging story.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

All my sympathies are with the ravens in this. May certainly had her plate full with Stritter as her bad neighbor.

We really appreciate it when we have good neighbors and this is why. Things can escalate to a fever pitch of hostilities into unspeakable violence.

I thought this was well written and once I started reading, I was eager to see where your writing led me. Very well told!

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I was totally on board with the ravens and May's support of them. I cannot fault her for being self serving. She went out of her way to be kind when most humans wouldn't bother.

Hiring May was a stroke of genius for the raven community. Stritter was a menace to one and all.

I enjoyed this reading adventure very much and found the ending to be very satisfying.

I wouldn't change a thing if I were you.

Review of Dear Jane Austen From Santa

Review by ♥HOOves♥

In affiliation with Paying It Forward

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

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

I saw this had been updated and I don't think I saw it before. I didn't send a review until now. Great idea - having Santa write to Jane Austen.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I feel very sorry for her short life. However, I feel like somehow she knows how much regular people love her work and what longevity it has had.

F. Scott Fitzgerald died of a sudden heart attack in his early 40s. At the time he died, he felt like a failure. Surely, someone he knows how people admire his work now.

Same with Jane Austen. I cannot imagine her wonderful stories fading away, either. She was a great storyteller.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I appreciate her so much. And just think about Colin Firth. Without Jane Austen, he would have been just another British actor.

Everyone knows him because of her and that's pretty amazing, too.

I like this because, through Santa's letter we learn how her brother helped her. I'm not sure I knew that. Some brothers would take credit for their sister's work so he sounds pretty special, too.

I think she is by far the most loved and revered female writer, even now so long after she is gone. What a wonderful collection of work she gave the world.

I have to believe she knows. Somehow, she knows.

I enjoyed learning and reading about her here!

Review of The Beatles, Abba Music Journal, Stories

for entry "Imagine"

Review by ♥HOOves♥

In affiliation with Paying It Forward

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

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

You said you had finished The Beatles Challenge so I came to read your entry, which ties in with the news of the day.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I thought about the contradictory messages in the song, Imagine. John Lennon didn't have answers, only questions.

He dreamed about what could be, but didn't know how to get there.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I think that, as you point out, the song has great meaning in Today's world as well as the time when it was written. In that way it is timeless. None of us knows the real answers but as long as we live there will be times of wars and times of peace. As we grow and age, we realize that it is good to cherish the peaceful times.

I enjoyed reading and reviewing this thoughtful entry about "Imagine!"

Wow, that was such a volatile time, but this is timeless. I liked the way you incorporated the song titles with what the characters tried to do. It sounds like after all this, they don't have any regrets and it seems like that's pretty important.

I enjoyed going back in time and reading your wonderful story! You did a great job with using the songs and their meanings!

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

I saw that you had added to your Beatles music journal, so here I am to read and review.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I think that combining these songs was brilliant. They are all perfect choices to convey change and living with and coping with loss.

I could certainly identify with that!

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I was struck by Getting Back to Yesterday. I wonder if everyone wishes for that sooner or later. I thought things were difficult before, but I had no idea what was waiting for me.

We learn to cope and carry on. Those of us left behind to cope with the change. That's what we do. Some days are happier than others and I appreciate those very much.

Great song combination! You did a super job with this!

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

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

I saw this was updated.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I like how you incorporate the events that happened during the War as a backdrop for the music. The protests were so different and genuine back then.

We were all scared about the people we knew who were in Vietnam. My brother went. Tom was there twice, but I didn't know him until way after the War was over, in the 80s.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

The music meant so much then, didn't it? It's like I think of those times and it is always set to the music of the Beatles and others. Long after that, Tom met a Canadian guy from the Guess Who, who co-wrote American Woman.

That music all goes with what was happening and it was scary and dramatic. This was very reminiscent of the times we grew up in.

I enjoyed reading it and seeing how you referenced the music and the happenings all around.

Well done!

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

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

I saw that you had added a new item to your portfolio for the Beatles Activity so here I am to read and send a review.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

This is about the couple who are united by love and open minded about trying new things in music experience. Since love of music is a shared passion, they make the move to open things up to what they both like.

I think it says a lot about their love for each other and willingness to change.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I think that this relates very well back to the song. You have done fine work creating likable characters. As a reader, I wanted it to work out for them.

The lyrics are very compatible with what is going on in the relationship.

I wish all people were as open to each other as this. Being open minded was how I found my way to a love of Irish music that will stay with me always. Just as my love for Beatles music has pretty much defined my life so far.

I enjoyed reading this very much! Wonderful work!

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews ~ Summer Break"

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

I saw you had updated your Journal of Faith so here I am to read and send my thoughts in a review.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I find that some days, I read just the right message in a psalm. Sometimes, I don't understand, but other times I do understand and I feel comforted with reading God's message to me.

I have a book of Devotions that goes by date. Some days that seems to reach out to me in my grief and sadness, too. I wonder if it will ever get better sometimes. This gives me hope to think that God knows and wants me to get better.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

Trust is the most difficult thing. But when I trust in God, I seem to find my way. It doesn't always mesh with what I thought would happen, but things have a way of sorting out. After time passes, I usually see the point.

Later on today when I read the psalm in my Bible (I think I am on 81 now) I will go back and read #27. In this way I feel God might be reaching out to me through your Faith journal posting.

We believe and find strength in that belief and faith.

It's what happens when we hold on.

Very inspirational!

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews ~ Summer Break"

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

I saw you had updated your Journal With Everything so here I am to read and send a review. Next anniversary will be your 24th. Wow, we are coming up close to moving toward twenty-five years here. Where has all that time gone.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I thought about how when we used to live in Maryland, I would go to the cemetery to feel better. I would visit my parents and talk to them and pat the marker once it was there for both of them. They are buried on a steep hill. Last time I tried to go there with my brother, I couldn't walk to the grave because of the steep incline so I do it from the top of the hill looking down and say those prayers.

I found it to be very comforting to let them know things, but I have them in my prayers always so hopefully that matters.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I find peace thinking of this even though I am physically unable to do it now. Yesterday my niece took a picture of Tom's flag at Arlington and sent it to my brother and he showed me. It made me cry, but it also made me have peace in remembering and knowing that Tom is remembered every day, as your parents are, by all who loved him.

I think we cherish that peace when we find it. I know I do.

Very heartfelt and moving. I read Devotions now, too. Everything helps when it comes to faith and prayers.

I saw you had updated your Journal with Everything so here I am. I do like the title of this entry, "Pieces of May." That would make a wonderful title for a book or maybe a campfire sometime.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I think that the unusual weather sort of gets us prepared for summer in a way. We want the summer sun and heat, but not too hot. This seems more moderated. I hope it doesn't lead us to more intense storms going forward.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I always look at prompts and how they are used. I think you did a fabulous job with this one as you tied what is going on with the weather into the feelings we get around the Memorial Day holiday and this time of year.

As always, I enjoyed reading this a lot!

I checked and you had added to your Journal With Everything so here I am to read and review and comment.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I think that it is fun to start with a soap opera from the very beginning. I don't think I ever did that.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I think it will be fun to see how it progresses and how this soap opera is different from the ones you watched before. It is more modern with different writers. I think for a long time it was the same writers, but now the young people are getting in there and telling their stories with creativity and flair.

It seems like it would be fun to watch the progress and see how it compares to the old stuff, some of which like Young and the Restless, is still moving along.

I enjoyed reading and seeing that you are enjoying the new!

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews ~ Summer Break"

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

I am here to celebrate your Account Anniversary month with a review for your fine poem.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

This is about how getting to know someone can erase an erroneous first impression. I often assume things and motives that are wrong. It takes a while to know this is the case, years of experience.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

The best thing to do when we think there is a monster lurking is to be brave and try to get to know someone and not make assumptions based on things that don't matter, like external appearance and size.

How many wonderful friendships do we miss because of assumptions, I wonder? This really resonated with me, having experienced over many years of living, just how mistaken I can be about others.

Very thoughtful poem that flowed well!

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews ~ Summer Break"

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

I saw it was your 15th Account Anniversary so here I am to read and send a review! I was just talking with someone about loving the summer time so this seemed very in keeping with that theme.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I thought about trying to be one with nature. Sometimes it isn't as easy as one would hope. Still, there is an effort to make it an enjoyable experience afoot. The rhyme is good and it flows well.

I especially like the title as it drew me in, thinking about the season.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"Still, sleeping underneath the stars, I always longed to try;
bereft of roof and inner wall, open to starry sky."

This brought to mind a Van Gogh painting, Starry Night. I think you have captured the magic of such an experience. I might never do it, but help me to see what it might be like to try such an adventure.

Well done!

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews ~ Summer Break"

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!

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!

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♥

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews ~ Summer Break"

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!

Review of Take Up My Cross Journal

for entry "God's Work In My Life"

Review by ♥HOOves♥

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

HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews ~ Summer Break"

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.
