ABOUT THE BOOK
Series: Coastal Hearts
Author: Janet W. Ferguson
Release Date: January 1, 2021
Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance / Southern rom-com
Years ago, a Dear John letter and then an IED explosion overseas rocked Davis Donnelly’s world and left him unclear about his marital status. He’d signed divorce papers, but broken mentally and physically, he’d never bothered to find out if his marriage actually ended. Now that he’s about to start a new position as an outreach minister, it’s time to settle things once and for all. At the moment he tracks down his wife—or former wife?—she takes a tumble while chasing a little boy. Her son. And that’s when life flips upside down.
Joy Jennings Donnelly made her share of mistakes. But one thing she never considered a mistake was her child, and she’ll do anything to protect him. Even keep his paternity a secret.
When she’s suddenly injured with not a soul to help her or her son, Joy is forced to rely on the man who has the most reasons to hate her.
Wow! Another amazing read from Janet W. Ferguson! Joy and Davis were married years ago, but the marriage ended years ago, starting with a Dear John letter, followed by an injury while he was overseas serving his county. Or so Davis thought. But he better make sure before he starts his new ministry. But things didn't happen as Davis thought. And Davis' world was completely turned upside down.
Janet W. Ferguson does an amazing job of creating amazing characters and bringing them to life throughout the pages of this book. We get to reconnect with some characters from previous books as well as meet new one in For the Love of Joy. I enjoyed following Joy and Davis grow as the story unfolds. And little Hankie was adorable. I love how the whole bunch fell in love with him, and especially Davis. Ferguson does a phenomenal job in dealing with the very difficult issues in this story. And I love and appreciate her weaving faith and the Christian life into her characters. This is truly a story of love, forgiveness, redemption and second chances. I can't wait for the next book from Ms. Ferguson. This one us a 5 plus Stars!! Wish I could give it more. If you love a sweet contemporary read, this one is a great place to start.

FACE FOOD can do for your skin what no expensive beauty cream can – it will show you how to give yourself a nutritional face lift. Find out how kidney beans plump and smooth the skin, a handful of almonds can give skin a healthy glow and how the little sardine reduces wrinkles and prevents age spots.

Optimise the health of your skin with recipes to: • Counteract the aging process • Stimulate and protect collagen • Tighten skin and improve elasticity • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles • Protect skin with natural antioxidants • Increase the thickness and suppleness of skin • Restore skin radiance
Attaining youthful looking skin has never been more simple or effective! Book Excerpt - Face Food
Book Excerpt - FACE FOOD
FACE FOOD highlights that simple, tasty foods have the ability to flush your face with vitality, improve and change the quality and texture of your skin, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, increase firmness and combat premature aging.
While genetic factors play a major role in the way we age, so does the food that we eat. In fact our diet is one of the great anti-aging secrets to retaining or regaining beautiful skin. It’s all based on the basic principal that building and protecting collagen through the foods we eat is the foundation to healthy, youthful looking skin; as when we increase collagen, wrinkles begin to fade and skin regains its elasticity.
Dealing with faces every day as I have for many years, it is easy to see when skin has been deprived of nutrients. So whenever I recommend a skin solution I keep in mind that one of the most effective ways to protect and preserve our skin at any age involves eating the right skin renewing foods.
Many of the natural foods we eat hold age-defying vitamins and minerals that are essential to give the skin radiance, while supporting, hydrating and maintaining the health of the skin. They are also the key to building collagen.
You may ask why building collagen is so important. Simply because collagen is the protein in connective tissue that keeps the skin elastic. However, the fibres in these tissues can become weak and damaged through free radicals, which impact our skin both inside and out as a result of different lifestyle elements such as bad food, sun damage, smoking, pollution, excess alcohol, and the list goes on! However, collagen cannot be absorbed from a beauty cream as the molecules are too large to penetrate the skin’s cells. This means the most effective solution is either topically applying the right ingredients (see Face Value), or eating foods full of skin regenerating vitamins and minerals that naturally renew, stimulate and protect collagen.
The quick and easy recipes in this book are power packed with skin building ingredients to help your skin be the best it can be. For me cooking is not only a wonderful reminder that sharing food with those we love nurtures their health and skin from the inside out, but that the true essence of our beauty is in sharing the spirit of our humanity in all that we do.
My personal philosophy on B.E.A.U.T.Y. is…
Balance in our life unfolds from the inside out.
Enthusiasm lies within the way we think and feel about ourselves.
Acceptance is the path to making peace with ourselves and others.
Understanding ourselves gives us clarity and wisdom to know what we want, and importantly, what we don’t.
Trust attunes our heart and mind so we can nurture spontaneity and adventure in our lives, and see that…
You have what it takes to create the life and love you know you deserve and to never settle for anything less.
So while our skin is the largest organ in the body and we need to look after it, it is important to remain true to our beauty by never forgetting that laughter and humor play a major role in experiencing it and feeling it.
"After all, the beauty we feel is the beauty we live." - Gregory Landsman

FACE FOOD by Gregory Landsman
Q1. WHAT IS THE BEST ANTIOXIDANT-RICH FOOD FOR OVERALL HEALTH AND PREVENTION OF PREMATURE AGING?
There is no one particular food that will do this. A balanced diet rich in skin boosting vitamins, minerals and anti oxidants is the best way improve the overall health our skin.
People suffering from a variety of skin concerns are often amazed at the improvements that come as a result of simply changing their diet. It is a simple but powerful reminder that some of our greatest anti aging solutions can be found in natural foods.
Q2. WHAT IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS WE CAN EAT FOR OUR SKIN?
One of the worst things for skin health is refined sugar. Sugar in any form (desserts, drinks or alcohol) mimics the stress hormone in the body, which means that when we eat it, we are more likely to feel anxious and uptight. Sugar also induces the glycation process that weakens collagen. So consuming sugar on a regular basis not only creates skin stress, but also stresses the body.
So if you are a sweet tooth choose dark chocolate, as it is loaded with powerful anti-oxidants and flavanols that can improve blood flow to the skin. When I feel like something sweet I eat dark chocolate with slices of fresh orange wedges. This combination not only tastes great, but it does great things for your skin as well.
Q3. DO YOU FIND IT DIFFICULT TO EAT HEALTHILY AS A LIFESTYLE APPROACH?
I don’t find it difficult to eat healthily, but this is because I approach food with a friendly mindset. I know many people who set intentions not to eat a particular food ever again, but extreme approaches create tensions in our daily life that we don’t need.
I practice the 80-20 rule, which means that eighty per cent of what I eat is healthy and twenty per cent allows me to indulge in things that I would not normally eat everyday. It is not one meal that impacts the overall health of your skin, but what you do regularly on a day-to-day basis.
Q4. MANY VEGETARIANS ONLY EAT TOFU. DOES IT HAVE ANY SKIN BENEFITS?
Soy products such soy milk and tofu contains a soy isoflavone called Genistein, which stimulates collagen production and helps to block free radicals that break collagen down and age the skin.
Natural foods that can support and protect our skin can be found so easily when we know where to look. That is why I firmly believe that with knowledge it becomes very easy to look after the health of our skin at every age.
Q5. YOU ADVOCATE TO USE SALT MODERATELY. WHY?
Plump, healthy, hydrated skin relies on us being mindful of our sodium intake. Consuming too much salt in our diet is an easy thing to do, but it draws water out the skin, which makes it more prone to premature aging.
Too much salt in the diet leaves skin dry, weakens skins elasticity and makes it more susceptible to wrinkling. But the great thing about our taste buds is that we can retrain them. So if you currently eat with a lot of salt, reduce that amount slowly and you will find your taste buds start adjusting as they become used to the taste of less salt.
Q6. YOU OFTEN MENTION THAT WE SHOULD COUNT OUR BLESSINGS NOT OUR CALORIES. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
Food can create enormous amounts of stress for people and while they are busy counting their calories, they are often depriving their bodies of essential nutrients.
Depriving our bodies of certain foods stresses the body and that is the last thing we want to do.
For example many people cut all fat from their diet and turn to low fat foods without realising that cutting out fat from their diet is one of the quickest way to age the skin and take away that natural glow.
I often see many models doing this. Yet extreme low fat diets age the skin rapidly, resulting in dry, wrinkled skin around the mouth and the eyes.
The opposite is also true. While a no fat diet can take away that youthful glow, adding good fats to your diet can bring it back. Good fats include the monounsaturated fats found in extra virgin olive oil, flaxseeds, walnuts, avocados, coconut oil and omega-3 fats in fish. These fats moisturise and plump the skin from the inside out, smooth out fine lines and give the skin a healthy, vital glow.
Looking after our skin needs to be approached holistically. Eating should not be about feeling guilty or breaking dietary rules, but making positive nutritional choices that support us to feel good, as well as look good.
Counting our blessings is about knowing that we are enough as we are, and from that point we can make decisions about positive self care and eating food that supports our overall health and wellbeing. When it comes to preventing premature aging and looking our best at every age, you can’t beat natural foods.

Book Excerpt - FACE VALUE
The simple do-it-yourself treatments in Face Value target our greatest skin concerns such as reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving firmness and elasticity and protecting skin from damaging free radicals.)
Every formula contains high doses of the most powerful ingredients such as Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Retin A and potent antioxidants used in the most expensive creams on the market.)
All are touted as anti-aging, stimulating skin cell regeneration and improving the texture of your skin. The good news is that most of it can be found in your own kitchen!)
In more than 30 years of dealing with faces every day, I worked across the globe in the fashion and beauty industry. I could see that the daily stresses of life show up on our faces, and have a profound effect on the way skin visibly ages, even on supermodels.)
With this in mind I put together Face Value; a complete skincare manual that offers real solutions and real choices that really work! Each of these treatments have been tried and tested by people from the four corners of the world and I have used them in my career for years with great success.)
Whether it is a treatment full of firming and plumping hydrators or smoothing exfoliators, these formulas will feed your skin from the outside in, restoring radiance and stimulating collagen production. With Face Value you can create a personalised plan for the issues that concern you most; whether it is saying ‘bye bye’ to age spots, fine lines, blemishes, sun damaged skin or uneven pigmentation.)
Without a doubt our faces say so much more about us than what we look like. They are a pure reflection of our health, vitality and spirit. Through my years of experience in the fashion industry.
I have come to believe that B.E.A.U.T.Y. is based on the principles of …
Balance, Enthusiasm, Acceptance, Understanding,Trust & You I believe that:
Balance in our lives unfolds from the inside out.
Enthusiasm lies within the way we think and feel about ourselves.
Acceptance is the path to making peace with ourselves and others.
Understanding ourselves gives us clarity and wisdom to know what we want, and importantly, what we don’t.
Trust attunes our heart and mind so we can nurture spontaneity and adventure in our lives, and know that…
You have what it takes to create the life and love you know you deserve and to never settle for anything less.
I took every photograph in this book as an expression of my belief that as in nature, where every flower is different from the next, we are a living embodiment that beauty is individual.
While Face Value is about learning to nurture your face and your body with great natural products that work, it is also about knowing that the beauty we find outside ourselves is a very small aspect of what lies within.
I have been fortunate enough to cross paths with people who have helped me understand this; each in their own way showing me that the essence of our beauty lies not in our physical characteristics alone, but in the heart of our character.
While I have seen supermodels in Paris dressed in Chanel and women in India dressed in rags, the one truth that reveals their beauty, regardless of who they are, is the truth of their smile.
So whether you are indulging in a skin rejuvenating bath or giving yourself a three-minute facial – Enjoy! After all, B.E.A.U.T.Y. is about good living and great loving, it is about feeling more, healing more, living more and loving more.
Q1.WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE THE TRILOGY- FACE VALUE, FACE FITNESS AND FACE FOOD?
I understand from years of dealing with skin in my professional life that maintaining radiant healthy skin goes well beyond a daily skin care routine – we need to know where to find the most powerful natural skin boosters; what topical vitamins and minerals feed, strengthen and protect the skin; how to support our skin with collagen building foods; and how to keep the muscles on the face healthy and firm as we age.
I believe that everyone should have equal access to the best information, as this is what allows us to make informed decisions about how to look after our skin. The three books that make up the 10 Years Younger Series provide the reader with knowledge and know how to prevent premature skin aging and maintain younger, healthier looking skin at any age.
Q2. IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A MIRACLE SKIN CARE PRODUCT?
Spending a lot of money on one product will not transform or save your skin. Healthy skin relies on feeding ourselves a combination of good nutrient rich skin care, good daily nutrition, good feelings, good quality breathing to nourish our system and good facial massage and exercise. When we incorporate these into our lives we de-stress our bodies and our skin, and as a result we naturally age less.
Q3. HOW DO WE KNOW IF OUR SKIN IS AGING PREMATURELY?
Premature skin aging is brought on by skin stress. Some of the signs of skin stress include a dull and sallow complexion; the skin looks and feels dehydrated or itchy; fine lines are starting to form or are turning into wrinkles; and skin is losing its elasticity and bounce back.
Our skin never lies. It will show us the internal stress we are carrying, the water that we are not drinking, the quality of our breathing patterns, our lack of sleep or the vitamins and minerals we are lacking. These will all create skin stress and cause the skin to age prematurely.
To keep ourselves looking our best over time we need to de-stress the skin so it ages less! This can be done by feeding the skin the nutrients it needs to counteract skin stress and rebuild and protect collagen and elastin, which keeps the skin firm and vital.
Q4. WHEN YOU ARE NOT WRITING BOOKS YOU ARE FILMING A TV SHOW ON HOW TO KEEP SKIN LOOKING YOUNGER. WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO CREATE THE TELEVISION SHOW, FACE LIFTING FOOD?
I am always looking at a variety of ways to give people the knowledge and know how to look after their skin, so after the success of the first edition of Face Value and Face Food, I created a TV show based on these two books called Face Lifting Food.
I have also recently created the online FACE FOOD SKIN TREATMENTS to provide DIY solutions to specific skin problems such as lip lines; super dry skin; problem skin and continuously dry and irritated hand skin.
Q5. YOU BELIEVE IT’S IMPORTANT TO BE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU ESPOUSE, BUT YOU ALSO PLACE A LOT OF IMPORTANCE ON EVERYTHING BEING SCIENCE BASED. WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU?
I believe authenticity is critical in every area of our lives and it has always been important to me that anything I say or recommend, I actually live. It is equally important that what I recommend is evidenced in the science.
As a man of faith, I believe in a number of things that we can’t see or prove. But with so much misinformation around about how we need to look after our skin, and the unnecessary prices people are being asked to pay for products that do nothing great, I needed my books to be based on solid science. And they are, which is why the TV show Face Lifting Food is shown in Universities and a number of my books are endorsed by medical professionals.
Q6. YOU HAVE WORKED IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY FOR THREE DECADES AND YOU ARE KNOWN AS A THOUGHT LEADER ON HOW BEAUTY IS VIEWED AND DEFINED. WHAT IS THE CORE OF YOUR BELIEF ABOUT WHAT MAKES A HUMAN BEING BEAUTIFUL?
To me real beauty has nothing to do with how we look and everything to do with our humanity and what radiates from the inside out, which is why I don't believe that beauty is exclusive to models and movie stars, but is inclusive of everyone regardless of age, physicality, ability, colour, gender or background of any kind.
I believe that God made us in his own image and we are all worthy of being treated with kindness and respect.
I believe in the equality of beauty
That no-one is better than who we are
And in the same breath, no-one is less
In this truth lies our strength
Our hope and our freedom
To live a good life

FACE FITNESS by Gregory LandsmanINTERVIEW
Q1. YOUR BOOKS HELP COUNTERACT PREMATURE SKIN AGING. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON APPROACHING THE AGING PROCESS?
There is a huge difference between premature skin aging and aging.
Counteracting premature skin aging is a process of de-stressing the skin from the inside out and the outside in so we can look our best at every age.
Premature skin aging is brought on by stress – the stress we feel, lifestyle stressors and exposure to environmental stressors. With knowledge and know how anyone can counteract the skin stress that creates premature aging and take years off the face naturally. I show people how to do this with food, facial exercise, natural skincare, breathing and a variety of easy lifestyle changes that help to de-stress their skin and naturally age less.
Whereas aging is the process of growing into ourselves so we can live our best life. To look our best, we need to feel our best and how we deal with the aging process is big part of that. My belief is that to live happily we need to age gratefully and gracefully.
The physical body goes through many transitional phases in our lifetime and each phase has its own beauty, presenting us with an opportunity to understand and accept ourselves a little better. Waging war on wrinkles only creates more stress and less self acceptance. Wrinkles on the face tell both the story of our life and our lifestyle, but they should not define our value or how we see ourselves.
Valuing the wisdom, clarity and self acceptance, that comes with life experience is the path to feeling peaceful and good in our own skin. This in turn keeps us looking our best, as when we feel good, we look good!
Q2. IS FACE FITNESS ONE WAY THAT WE CAN HELP COUNTERACT PREMATURE AGING?
Face Fitness is a great way to help counteract premature aging as the program works to de-stress the skin so it ages less!
Facial exercises and massage are one method I recommend to remove the impacts of skin stress so that the face looks younger and more vital and ages less, simply because it is stronger and healthier. It is also recommended by doctors and dermatologists as a means of increasing blood flow, carrying more nutrients to the skin and removing toxins, which keeps the facial muscles and the skin healthier and more vital.
Face Fitness is part of a skincare book trilogy that includes Face Value (natural topical skincare treatments) and Face Food (recipes to feed and revitalise the skin). They all work together as a total natural solution to counteract premature aging and keep our skin looking younger and more vital as we age.
Q3. CAN FACE EXERCISES REALLY DO ANYTHING FOR THOSE WRINKLES, SAGGING JOWLS, OR DOUBLE CHIN?
Absolutely! As we age we lose collagen and elastin, which causes the skin to wrinkle, droop and sag. The beauty of these exercises is that your facial muscles respond to exercise in the same way that the muscles on your body does.
With exercise the body looks fitter, feels better and is generally healthier. The same principle applies to giving our face muscles a good workout. Improving muscle tone on the face is what helps us fight gravity. But beyond overcoming sagging skin, strengthening the facial muscles will plump up the skin; smooth out fine lines; firm the look of the face; and contour and sculpt the face. There are many benefits to building the FACE FITNESS exercises into a daily routine; the biggest of which is keeping our skin looking healthier and younger.
Q4. DO THE EXERCISES WORK AT ALL LAYERS OF THE SKIN?
Face Fitness exercises and massage work all the skin’s layers—the epidermis (upper layer), dermis (middle layer) and the hypodermis (lower layer), but they also improve collagen production naturally, increase skin moisture levels and rejuvenate the texture of the skin.
Q5. IN YOUR BOOKS YOU TALK ABOUT CELEBRATING OUR HUMANITY. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Daily day life gives us the chance to celebrate ourselves and our lives. At the age of 57 I am more in love with life than I have ever been because I know that the way I choose to think will either strengthen and or weaken the way I feel, the way I see myself and the way I live.
Celebrating our humanity is about recognising the best in ourselves and each other. It is about celebrating our individuality and our differences and understanding that we are all worthy of being valued and loved.
This starts from within as I have come to understand that I never see the world as it is, I see the world as I am, the beliefs I hold, the thoughts I have and the choices I make on a daily basis.
Laughter, fun, tears and kindness are a large part of what
make us beautiful and our lives magical.

Book Excerpt - FACE FITNESS
TAKE 10 YEARS OFF
Face Fitness is a natural face lift that can take ten years off your face.
All it takes is ten minutes a day to retain or regain a fresh, healthy and younger looking face.
While travelling in India I crossed paths with an amazing seventy-eight year-old woman who taught me that our genes are not our destiny and that the way our faces age is literally in our hands.
The day she took my hands and clasped them in her own, I knew she would teach me something that would stay with me forever.
What this learned woman shared with me was an ancient Indian treatment that dates back several thousands of years. Having been passed down through her family, it told a story of ancient wisdom steeped in a true understanding of the human form and how to maintain a youthful appearance by keeping the facial muscles fit and skin firm.
This is why I called this program Face Fitness!
What I will show you is a powerful and genuine alternative to a surgical face lift that gets results without the $30,000 price tag. It will help you retain and regain a vibrant face without nipping, tucking, sucking and plucking the skin or the facial muscles. Face Fitness will show you how to:
• Drain toxins that age the skin
• Prevent and reduce wrinkles without anaesthetic
• Sculpt and reshape the face without pain

Face Fitness is about conditioning the face in a way that will naturally outlast any surgical face lift or artificial face fillers. This is not only a correction technique for wrinkles and sagging muscles, but a means of prevention as well.
Since learning these techniques I have practised them daily and used them in my career for many years.There is no doubt that if practised consistently this program will not only improve tone, but the overall look of the face.
In a time where so much emphasis is placed on the way we look, where we have all experienced the mental anxiety that sits on our faces, we need a way to keep our faces fresh and healthy, and our minds calm as we journey through the world.
A key part of taking the pressure off comes from understanding that while we all want to look as good as we can for as long as we can, in truth we touch people in a very small way with our looks. Mostly we touch them through acts of kindness and the sharing of our humanity. My personal philosophy on B.E.A.U.T.Y. is…
Balance in our life unfolds from the inside out.
Enthusiasm lies within the way we think and feel about ourselves.
Acceptance is the path to making peace with ourselves and others.
Understanding ourselves gives us clarity and wisdom to know what we want, and importantly, what we don’t.
Trust attunes our heart and mind so we can nurture spontaneity and adventure in our lives, and see that…
You have what it takes to create the life and love you know you deserve and to never settle for anything less.
As you read this book and start to incorporate the techniques into your daily life you will see clearly that our faces tell the story of our feelings. Looking good is about feeling good and maintaining healthy skin inside and out is a big part of that.
Learning to understand the connection between how we look after our faces and how we think (stress) helps us discover our own path to an energised, vibrant and healthful face.
For when we let go of the stressful thoughts and feelings, we give ourselves a natural face lift; as self belief will out-do, out perform and outlast plastic surgery, botox, and restylane face fillers every time.

Book Title: The Future of Buildings, Transportation, and Power by Roger Duncan and Michael E. Webber Category: Adult Non-Fiction (18+), 290 pages Genre: Non-fiction Futurism Publisher: DW Books Release date: July 2020 Content Rating: G. No erotic or bad language
Book Description:
The evolution of buildings, transportation and power will determine how our future looks and feels, and in the book Roger Duncan and Michael E. Webber argue the Energy Efficiency Megatrend will shape our future technology. Buildings and vehicles will evolve into sentient-appearing machines such that we will be living, working and moving about inside robots. Buildings may develop personalities and the transportation system will have any manner of vehicle available at a moment's notice. This complex, interconnected system will be powered by the clean and efficient conversion of fuels and energy flows that surround us.
The Future of Buildings, Transportation and Power is a very interesting book on how or lives can change in the future. From cars that drive.themselves, to buildings being built to heal themselves, to vehicles running on electricity, and so much more will have you in awe, as well as a bit scared in what our future brings. In this book, authors Michael E. Webber and Roger Duncan researched information for years, and wrote about what they have found could happen in our future. With some changes, it can be more in the near future, for for others, can take a long while. Expense is a big factor in it all.
I have to admit much of this book is over my head, but yet much of it I could easily understand. The author's do a marvelous job explaining each section of the book in more simpler details, helping me to understand this book much better. I found it interesting that much of what is discussed in this book it already happening, though on a smaller scale. And there is fascinating discussions in this book on the importance of climate and how it does and will even more have a huge part of our future. I enjoyed reading examples of what out lives could be like in future generations.
I feel this book would be interesting to everyone. There is some bit of information that can be of use to just about anyone. And if nothing else, read it to see what these two guys think may happen to our future world. I really enjoyed reading this book, and glad I learned a little more about not only what will happen to our future, but what changes are already going on. I give this book Five Stars for the wealth of information here, and they simple and understanding way they presented this information.

🌟GUEST POST FROM AUTHORS🌟
Please be sure and read this interesting Guest Post from these authors.
Like many people, my wife and I are eager to travel again. We have traveled to most parts of the world, but our favorite places are in the rainforest. We have been to the Amazon several times in Brazil, Ecuador and Peru. The Napa Wilderness Lodge in Ecuador is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world and on one trip we were able to see nine monkey species. We also loved the bird watching and especially the early morning canoe trips down dense jungle tributaries. Our Amazon accommodations have ranged from rustic, but comfortable, cabins to more luxurious rooms aboard a Peruvian boat with outstanding cuisine.
But we also love the beach and one place we can get both is Costa Rica, which will probably be our first vacation after the pandemic lockdown ends. Costa Rica has done an outstanding job preserving their rainforest and the birding is among the world’s best. Also, Costa Rica has a range of different types of rainforests. The forest on the Caribbean side has gorgeous canals with dense jungle and is still close to beaches. Monteverde, in the center of the country, has a unique cloud forest with the rare Quetzal and howler monkeys. And our most recent favorite spot is the Lookout Inn in the Osa peninsula on the Pacific side. We can see monkeys, macaws and other wildlife from our veranda, which also overlooks the ocean. If the season is right, we might even see new sea turtles being born. And it is adjacent to one of the largest rainforest preserves in the country, which will occasionally surprise us with visitors like tapirs or anteaters.
A perfect vacation day for us is an early morning canoe ride for birdwatching in the jungle, followed by lazy reading overlooking the jungle and ending with a walk on the beach at dusk. And we have been amazed at how often we have found that. Can hardly wait.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
Dream and Do It is a very nice collection of 100 different people in different t careers that has the potential of helping young child to know what that want to be when they grow up. So often we hear children mention the jobs that are known to everyone but maybe their interest and abilities are for something different. This is where Dream and Do It will come in handy. And I really like that the author sought out so many different people and their stories of how they landed the job they have. I would love to see copies of this book in school libraries as well as any other library where kids of all ages will be looking for career choices. Dream and Do It takes the thoughts are research out of many people's lives when it comes to helping children find the right things to do with their life. Why not pick up a copy today for that curious child who wants to be everything when they grow up.
