Week 3

     I want to start by sending a prayer to Japan and all the other people hurt by the earthquake that hit today. God bless everyone and may you spark of hope glow brighter always.  Love and light to everyone who have gone and who have suffered on this day.
    
    Today I finished my three week stay in Hippocrates Health Institute. I want to write this blog especially about People. It is them who create this world we live in. Here in the center it is all about men and women who came to change their lives. The healing that takes place and the love you feel  around you everyday. It is all about support for each other. People come here for two reasons to be saved or enlightened. Each one is treated with love not only from the staff, but from the others staying here. It is a community where you meet so many amazing people with fantastic stories of how they were saved. They were saved from cancer, diabetes, heart disease and so many other illnesses.
It is a hard journey that each of us takes together. All through out this journey support is everywhere.

    I will like to end with a one inspiring story: one man had a very bad case of arthritis, he came here nine weeks ago. At one point he could not walk he went on the diet and came here, his family joined him for the last three weeks and they were amazed at how he had improved. They also changed all their lifestyle to support him. His youngest son had an allegory to sugar and he talked about how he almost died because of this allergy. This incident not only changed this family's life, but brought them closer together.

     In conclusion I would to say if any of ever decide to come here to heal yourself or just to detox you will discover lots of support and will meet many amazing people with fantastic stories. Hippocrates Health Institute will heal you on all levels and this place will open up your mind to many possibilities and change your life forever.

Book Reviews
   Hello again my friends, I am now reading my forth children's book. In April I will dedicate my whole blog post to lots of books suggestions for teachers, children and parents. It will be a list divided into categories each with three to four books on it. Until then I will continue with my experience here in Hippocrates.

 

Week 2
     I  have been here almost two weeks now and have finally adjusted my body to the major changes in all levels: physical, emotional and spiritual. A process that people who come here go through is called detox. It is the hardest part of the journey. For five days: from last Thursday to Monday I did not get much sleep, My body had aches everywhere, and I was on an emotional roller coaster ride. One day I could be happy the next angry and etc... All this is part of the process most people go through here. That is what took place last week.
     On Tuesday the detox slowed down and I started feeling much better. Here in the center you will find many amazing machines and people that help each individual out. There is also six different kinds of pools, an exercise club, great lectures, classes and much more.
     I will end this post with a few amazing stories that took place. One lady was told that she would die with in six months from cancer, from that point on she started going to Hippocrates. She comes here every year for three weeks. Today she spoke at the graduation, it is her 18 visit and she is still alive and well. One more story that I have to share about another woman who had all kinds of problems with here body, She has been coming here nine years and those problems have vanished.
     In conclusion I want to end with some inspiration for everyone. Our world has many problems in it. War, Slaves, torture, aggression, hatred, pain and much more. What this world needs more of is love, peace, happiness, light and artists like you and I are. The writer, the singer, painter and others. Love yourself first, then your family and finaly the world.

Children Book Reviews        

Hello everyone for the next three posts I will not do any reviews. I am reading many children books that will be recommended for everyone in about a month. I will be blogging to everyone about a very special place I am visiting right now. I will tell you about miracles that went on here. I will also share my experience. I am doing lots of reading and when I update in April I will have more children book suggestions for librarians, children and parents. I will also add my first book review. Enjoy these posts.



Miracles Happen Here

      First time I heard about Hippocrates Health Institute was when my parents came home with the stories of miracles that took place there: the man whose cancer tumor shrunk, the man whose kidney stones vanished, the woman who got out of her wheel chair and the small girl who was brought here as a last resort to awake her from a coma.
     
     No, it was not some kind of a magical healer who used his hands on them, or some kind of special enchanted well. Every one of these individuals were guided in healing and had a major lifestyle shift. Now I am here myself witnessing more stories of recovery. I want to tell you one story that could touch anyone. A lady came here six weeks ago in very horrible shape: she wanted to kill herself. Almost 80 percent of her skin had one of the worst skin disease. In just six weeks most of her skin disease vanished. Initially, her daughter sent her for a three weeks stay, but then her stay was extended a bit more. Her daughter promised to come also but she made excuses in her home life to come later and later.  She eventually showed up and even brought her brother. Yesterday they all made a speech of thanks at graduation ceremony. One word stood out from the rest of her speech; "Gratitude" On top of being thankful for getting back her mother, she was thankful of being together as a family.

     This is my second time here, but my parents have been coming since 2006 after my dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease  disease about seven years ago. He was told by the top doctor that he will be in a wheel chair in four years. It now has been almost seven years and my dad's symptoms have stayed stable. .

     Hippocrates is not only a health center but also top new age spa.  Every one talks with each other and gives love and support on this journey we take together.

     The combination of diet, speeches, sun, spa treatments you never heard of plus the common treatments found everywhere make this a wonderful place. It is like going back to camp for adults. Amazingly this year their are many young children who have come to support there parents. I will share more stories and give some more details on how this program is run in my other posts. Look for my next one on Friday. Please look at the website found on my blog.

Great books to read

1. The Adventures of Huck Finn- This book written by Mark Twain is a great example of an all time classic. It is about a young boy who never went school and who spends days at time just doing noting but having fun. Ain't this a dream of many boys. The book has lots of bad grammer and language. It was written in the 19 century just after the civil war. The author is a genis in many ways. The book really takes of when Huck Finn meets a slave named Jim. He helps this man escape. That is when the real adventure begins. They build a raft and go on a dangerous journey on the Mississippi River the heart of the south. This book is a classic American boy tale. The language is hard but it will be the perfect book for your middle grade or young adult reader. Please incourage your children to read this classic american novel and do not forget about The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. I really loved both these books and did a research paper on them. I bet you kids will love them too. 
2. The Slave Dancer- This book written by Paula Fox and a newberry award winner in 2002 is a wonderful book to honor black history month. It is about a 13 year old boy named Jessie Bollier who is earning pennies by playing his fife on docks of New Orleans. One day he is kidnapped and thrown aboard a slave ship, where his job is to provide music while shackled slaves dance and keep their muscles strong and bodies profitable. On this journey Jessie is sickened at how these slaves are treated. They are whipped and treated very bed. Before the ship makes it to it goal it shipwrecked in the Gulf of Mexico. Jessie and a slave boy named Ras are the only two survivors. This book is a powerful work and it should not be missed. It presents one of the most gruesome eras in history. Any 11- 14 year old should read this book. 
3. Rosa's Bus The Ride to Civil Rights- This picture book written by Jo S. Kittinger and illustrated by Steven Walker came out in 2010. It looks at the civil rights movement of the 1960's through the eyes of bus that Mrs. Rosa Parks boarded. This point of view I found to be lots of fun and intersting. It gives new meaning to that saying "What if walls could talk?" This book also looks at the bus boycut that followed. This book is both historical and fun to read. I highly recommend your share it with your students or children. It is a great resource to teach youngsters about the civil rights movement. Please enjoy. 

Are we all Slaves to this world?

   The battle for human rights has been going on forever. Every one of us had to go through this darkness. Look at every culture in history. Slaves have been around always. Not only in the USA but in the world and all through out history.  I do not think there will ever be a true Utopia, because of these three words greed, power and money. This is what is behind everything evil in this world. Those three words cause: war, slavery, torture, death and so much more. You are all wondering how does this statement has to do with me?
Every one of us knows this. We follow the rules, we pay our taxes and live out our daily lives. This is where money comes in. Everything revolves around it. Are we slaves to money? I think we are, but we do not have much choice here.
    How can we become free? This is a great question, we can do this in two ways. One way is to escape to some unknown island or forest and live off the land like the native americans did for years until white people came and killed them. That is how America began, first a British colony then a free country. I ask you all again are we truly free. The second way is the path I picked and many of you did. I decided to face reality but to escape into my drea

I decided to face reality but to escape into my dream world. I became a writer and an artist. That is the path to freedom. We change  young lives everyday. We create perfect worlds in our books. We write on our own time, and have no office job or maybe we do. Freedom is found within even though the world around us will always run by greed, power and money.
    In conclusion, let us not only remember black history month, but every man, woman and child who have been killed, totured, enslaved and hurt because of these three evil words: greed, power and money. Let the artists lead the way to a better tommorow.

Book Suggestions

1. The Hunger Games Trilogy- These three books are wonderful fanatsy stories for Young adults. Imgine a world divided into 13 Distracts that are run by a place called The Capital. In these three books by Suzanne Collins, the author brings this world to life. She combines love, Action, survival and fantasy together. The Three books are called "The Hunger Games.", "Catching Fire." and "Mocking Jay." The books are written so well that your teen will not put them down.
2. Knuffle Bunny Free- This is the last picture book in a trilogy by Mo Williams. Trixie loves her stuffed bunny, but she always seems to lose him somewhere. The other two books are called "Knuffle Bunny" and "Knuffle Bunny Too." They both got Caldecott Honers. The illustratuions combine drawings with photos. I bet your children will want you read these books over and over again. I bet you remember the stuffed animal that you loved as child. I had a large yellow duck who I gave lots of love too. These books will not only touch that child hidden deep inside us all, but it will also touch our children. I highly recommend that you sit in front of your fireplace with that special child on your lap and read these books together.
3. The Giver- A Newbery Medal winner in 1994, this book by Lois Lowry is a true classic for your child to read and is required reading in many schools. Mrs. Lowry wrote about a perfect world where everything is under control and each person is assigned a role in this communuty. Every kind of pain, fear and plessure of life is held by one person. Jonas a 12 year old boy is asigned to train with the giver. His whole life as he knows is about to fall apart. I think that this book has many layers to it. It is a great read for everyone. It  can cause a deep discussion with your child. So please take a moment to get your children off the TV, computer or Video game system start a family book club instead. Your children will thank you.  

Valentine's day (A time to Love)

    This is a tough topic to write about but I will try my best. We are all humans and connected under the circle of life. It is very important to love everyone. Valetine's day celebrates the love of each other. It takes place everyday. I will connect this love to our children book writing. We write because we love it.
     Writing is a very tough business and not many authors make it. It is this love and spark inside us that keeps us going. We love to create worlds and characters. We love to have control of what we are doing. We love to make children happy and engulfed inside a great book. Yet we have competetion from society. We are against Video games, computers and the digital age. It is a hard job to get our children's attention. What can we do? We must write the best book we can. It must be so good that they will open it once and never put it down until it ends.
    How can we do this? We must have a first line that catches their attentiion right away. The book must have a realistic charecter and fresh idea. I strongly believe that we write books because we love it. In most cases it is not about the money, but about the child. Keep on writing, never give up. I want end this post with a story of love between a boy and a stuffed duck.
   I was eight years old when a friend of the family's was in hospital very sick. Before she went in she brought a yellow stuffed duck with these wonderful large blue eyes. She got it for me, and did not have time to give him. It was only on the hospital bed that she got a chance to give me this gift. I fell in love with him right away. I called him ducky. I gave him food, he slept in my bed at night and when I went away to camp I told my mom "Please take care of hi

It was years later I put him away.
    This is great example of what we think of our books. I am quoting an editor "Manuscripts are like your babies but it our job is to tare them apart." Thank you all and Happy Valentine's day.

     Hello folks and welcome to my new blog. let me tell everyone a little about me and then I will add a few wonderful  books for the teachers and parents out there.
     I was born in Moscow Hospital in the mid seventies and left Russia to find religious freedom in the USA. When we applied to leave my parents lost their jobs right away. We had to wait three years until America opened her doors to us.
    We came here in 1981 invited by a local temple to a city in New York called Mount Vernon. I learned the language in just under six months, because my sister and I got invited to sleep away camp within one month when we arrived in the States. I was six and she was eight. All I can say it was the most horrible sleep away experience I ever had. Everyone made fun of me and I was almost forced to eat a live frog, it tasted a little salty. I can look back at this and laugh now but imagine how a little boy would feel.
     The years went by and I went through the American School system and eventually got an MLS and a library media certification. I always loved to write all my life. This was the case because my sister and I grew up around fairy tales.My parents read to us almost every night.   
     I started by writing poetry and then got into children's books after the 9-11-2001. This was the day that changed my life forever.  I now have a book out called "The Enchanted Rope." I am waiting to hear from two publishing companies as well on my manuscripts. I am now working on a fantasy trilogy.
    If anyone wants me to do a review for a book please contact me at [email protected]

1.     " The Red Pyramid"- The book comes from Rick Riordan the author of the Percy Jackson books. It is a part of "The Kane Chronicles and is told from the perspective of two siblings. It looks into Egyptian magic and how the two children save the world from an evil Egyptian God. It is a great book for both boys and girls that not only teaches them about Egyptian history and magic but takes the reader on an action filled adventure through time and space. A great book for middle grade. They would get into it very much. Do take a look at this classic. 
2. "A Simple Shard."- This 2002 Newbery winner by Linda Sue Park is beautifully written book that explores the life of an orphan named Tree-Ear. He has a dream to be a master potter. To make his dream come true he works for no pay with a master potter named Min. This book is a virtual journey of the senses, that teaches the reader to always live your dreams.
