There are three aging backwards opportunities for you, one book and two workout DVD’s in a boxed set by Miranda Esmonde White.

Miranda is the creator of Classical Stretch, seen on PBS for years, and for Essentrics, with her daughter Shara Esmonde White.

In the Classical Stretch tradition, these workouts go for the long and lean!

In her book Aging Backwards, Miranda miraculously explains how the body ages, or doesn’t, and how the cells in our muscles have the main influence over how our body triggers the aging process.

I’m not going to try and encapsulate it here. I just want to add that when I was taught the same material while certifying  as a personal trainer, all I could do was memorize the text book because I could not hope to understand it as it was presented.

It made perfect sense to me when I read about how to reverse the aging process with exercise, as recounted by Miranda.

Aging Backwards: The Fast Track empowers everyone—young and old, athletic or sedentary—with the information and tools to slow down the clock and keep it there. ”

One happy reviewer says” They have helped me be mobile pain free and improved my posture immensely and MOST importantly they feel good to DO??”

More of the latest science in anti-aging for you to celebrate!

Movement is natural, right? Yet as aging sets in, don’t we unconsciously cut back on moving?

Sometimes we have to end an active or athletic career and end up in a desk job. I personally know what a shock that is.

I am a retired dancer and I used to say to people who asked “No, ballet doesn’t hurt a lot. Until you stop!”

Learning how to manage life when you sit down to earn a living needs some expert help. This book will give you that.

And do notice the “buy together” deals!

You will save money with those!

Here’s an interview with Miranda to get you started on the idea of aging backwards.

The Fever Series – Drama!

[easyazon_infoblock align=”none” identifier=”B06XKV2CMD” locale=”US” nw=”y” tag=”ballweddflat-20″]

“Fever Born” – is the 2016 book in the Karen Marie Moning Fever Series. I have just started reading it. Populated by intensely focused hypersexual, and to humans, immoral characters.

Here is a list of the individual books, in order in case you’d prefer to buy them one at a time.

The supernatural view of sex, for example. I don’t read erotica, and the sex passages in these books aren’t quite that. They are quite unreal and are not gratuitous – well, yes sometimes they are, and I think it accounts for the conventions of fans these books have garnered.

Yet there is an unreality to the accounts of sex as power, entrapment, that may even lead to death. Hardly titillating.

Karen Marie Moning has created an enormous cosmology of Fae creatures – humanoid but weirdly wonderful in their faery lives of power seeking, greedy power seeking.

And frail in their weakness for real love, and when they love a human it’s tragic because these beautiful winged princes, kings and queens live for millennia.

When “Mac” (MacKayla Lane) goes to Dublin from the US to find out why her sister died there, she runs into  layers of dimensions of realty. Entered by capricious hidden portals and magic mirrors. Where one can become trapped for very long periods of time – or forever.

Mac enters this mystery involving her sister’s brutal murder. Yet as she stumbles into the treacherous places and events surrounding it, she is confounded to discover that she too is part of it.

She too is a mystery – to herself!

Mac first is raped ( and spelled to forget) by Jericho Barrons, who later becomes her protector. It is not violent – but is it really consented? You decide…

Initially she is left to her own devices as she turns a corner in Dublin and – walks into a shadow world.

It’s been over a year since I finished “Iced” and now that I’m reading “Burned” I feel I have to read the previous book again.

And that is why I recommend the series of ten books – all page turners! An instant download to my Kindle Fire.

The latest is:

If you have read the Fever Series you might want to check out the the Highlander Series for more of her romantic and descriptive stories!

What Does Amazon Prime Give You?

Get Amazon Prime pictureWhat does Amazon Prime give you? I thought… free shipping and a few free kindle books?

I have had Prime for a month (I bought it on a special discount deal for $73.00). I really wasn’t sure if I ordered enough from amazon to just not to have to pay for S&H.

Amazon Prime Member Benefits

I went back over my previous year’s orders and by May I’d paid $50 in shipping costs. One of the best Amazon Prime account benefits is free two day shipping.

You can even defer the forty eight hour shipping if you want, for five days – and get a one dollar or equivalent credit toward a digital order. I didn’t look further – I just ordered it! Obviously it was going to pay for itself and more!

Amazon Prime Video Benefits

I have been cramming in time for movies and television shows that I’ve wanted to see for ages! I had no idea there was so much included in Prime membership!

I have watched:

  • Extant two seasons
  • Humans first amazing season!
  • Orphan Black three seasons
  • Bosch two seasons
  • Interstellar (watched twice!)

And there is so much more! I no longer pay for any television packages on cable or Direct TV. I couldn’t get the channels I wanted.

One particularly great benefit is being able to watch some HBO series, if you haven’t been able to pay for HBO in the past. The Americans and Boardwalk Empire,  to name two.

Amazon Prime Student Benefits

The incredible cost saving here is a free six month trial. There are some limitations with the free trial:

  • No live streaming movies and television
  • No sharing your Prime Account
  • No access to Prime Music
  • No access to the Kindle Lending Library

A student must have a .edu email address. Considering every small thing one can order with free shipping – what a deal!

You do not have to wait for the six month no-cost period to end, to buy a standard Student account for $49, or about half the regular price.

Prime Pantry! Take a look at all of those groceries and household products!

Amazon Prime Sharing Benefits

An adult account holder can add another adult in the household to their account. Up to four children can have their own profiles, book and movie collections.

Now adults don’t have to hear the kids arguing about what to watch or read. Most children have their own devices these days. Even the younger ones might have a Kids Edition Kindle 7 with the built in parent’s programming options.

Music!

Millions of songs and thousands of play lists are yours to access. And with no ads to interrupt your enjoyment.

Account participants can listen to Prime Stations on:

  • Fire tablets
  • iOS
  • Android devices
  • A PC or Mac
  • Your Music Library on the Web Player.

I feel like a kid in a candy shop, sugar rush overloaded! This is so much fun!

Plus there’s the unlimited amount of space for photos – photos I’m taking with my new Kindle Fire 7!

800,000 Kindle Library books included – borrow one a month with no due date.

Prime members get early notification of Lightning Deals!

Amazon Prime

Check Prime

Those are the ways you can save money with your amazon Prime account. Factor in how much more time you will spend at home with no need to go out for all the entertainment. Cook at home, save on gas, and get the laundry done while you’re watching. You will save time too.

All in all, for the reasons cited above, I think Prime is a wonderful gift to give!

And below is another wonderful deal, and it caught my eye because a close friend of mine – whenever I recommend a book – asks me “Is it on audible?” She loves to listen to books as she goes around the house tidying and what not. 30 days free!

Jim Rickards Fraud?

  • [easyazon_infoblock align=”center” cart=”y” cloak=”y” identifier=”1101980761″ key=”image” locale=”US” localize=”y” nw=”y” nf=”y” tag=”ballweddflat-20″]

I was surprised to see the phrase “jim rickards fraud” when I did a casual search of Jim Rickards reviews about The New Case For Gold, which will be available on April 5. So I decided to look into this bizarre search result.

Was I completely scammed when I read The Death of Money last year? I am not an experienced investor so it was a hard study for me, yet it was too fascinating to give up on.

[easyazon_infoblock align=”center” cart=”y” cloak=”y” identifier=”B00NIBXT9M” key=”image” locale=”US” localize=”y” nw=”y” nf=”y” tag=”ballweddflat-20″]

In that book, the author advises having gold as part of one’s portfolio. It is a given that all of one’s eggs should not go into one basket. Other types of investments could be in fine art, or antiques.

Market instability is scary for most, yet it seems those who truly understand how money works (or does not) can take advantage of crises. That does not make someone a fraud.

Jim Rickards Reviews

  • The “scam” and “fraud” discussions go back as far as 2014 and don’t seem to have continued. The supposed red flags were:
  • Jim Rickards having been an advisor to the CIA
  • He had been interviewed on ‘alternate media’, like the Alex Jones show

Firstly it is no secret that he was/is an adviser to the CIA. He says so! That fact is part of his credentials, and credibility. It is pure mental clutter to have this converted into a distraction of conspiracy theory and “woo-woo” material.

One trashy web site even had a discussion of his The Death of Money associated with Alistair Crowley (witchcraft) and a rising sun or Golden Dawn symbol of The New World Order.

Jim Rickards fraud? I don’t see any.

It is my personal opinion that there is no fraud or scam involved. Jim Rickards sells books and he also sells reports on investing systems he has developed. No deception there either. Investing is everyone doing the best they can with the information they can get. And each investment has to be the weighing of that information.

I will be pre-ordering this to be delivered to my Kindle Fire on April 5!
