Be Sure to Say Please
'Be Sure to Say Please' is a very young children's story where to very young children learn the various ways in being helpful around the house and even the community in which they live. Saying "Please." is a way of showing politeness to others too. This is a tiny board book with bright and colorful pictures and the words describe them as well. This is a great book to just read the pictures and ask some basic questions or could be used as a short pre-primer reader. It is a picture book that is part of 'My Teeny Tiny Books'.

Helter Skelter
One day when I was keeping my youngest grandnephew company, we were watching a YouTube program known as 'Twin Paranormal' with twins and Ryan and River and Wyatt as the ghosthunters. These three men go to and visit haunted houses and places that are kind of famous and try to help and figure out why these entities/demons are still here, and maybe even send them to a better place.

Theriocentricity-My definition
Theriocentricity is a term that means to me a way to bring all theories on several topics and subjects to become a concentric whole. Like when learning how to teach you are also learning some very basic counseling skills in making whomever to improve behaviors and still learning basic skills socially and academically. Seeing how the relationships of these two professions are similar as well as different. Remember an old science experiment when you drop a rock in the water and the waves as concentric circles get bigger and bigger we are learning that theories help us to understand ideas.

Juneteenth. Content Warning.
To me this is like Independence Day for people of color, and I do not mean to be racist. If I was around during the Civil War, I believe I would have been an abolitionist. Slavery was a bad idea, and no body should be enslaved to do others work no matter what kind of work. I know there were some White plantation owners (masters) that were good to their slaves, and they should be remembered even though slavery was an idea that they thought was right and yet wrong. Here is an acrostic that I think kind of explains 'Juneteenth'.

Come Sunday Morning
Sunday morning and another day to say that 'I am here, and I am loved." Sundays are a day of reflection, but to be honest it's also day to catch up or to even get ahead in some other 'work' that one must feel must be done. It is a day to remember some basic rules of living this life that the creator has seen to give us to do with what we please with it, but do we always make the right decisions for ourselves and/or others that happen to be around us and to be truthful I try.
