Grandpa's Journey: Lessons from the Kitchen in the Art of Living Well Review

Grandpa took us all on a jounery. Life lessons were taught through experience.
In the spirit of true auteurship, Mr. D'Agnese draws from his own life expierience,to pass along thought provoking tidbits in the hope of enriching the readers journey through life.
His use of a teenager to learn the lessons works well, because the boy is on the cusp of adulthood. He is an open book, eager to be written. He is in essence, D'Agnese's audience. As the teen matures, we all learn to appreciate our life's worth, and relationships.
D'Agnese talks of recreating one's self through a change in habits, and a positive attitude(- his reaffirmation).
At one point, the teacher becomes the student. Grandpa has to "come to grips" with his feelings(about his family)- and realizes that in order to change these feelings, he has to acknowledge them.
His advise to us all is " live your life like you're important".
While reading this book, I intended to write a review. In doing so, I kept notes; and therefore imersed myself into, and interacted with the lessons being taught.
A well written novel which one can use as a guide for self examination. Anthony, " good job, well done ".

Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teacher Tales: 101 Inspirational Stories from Great Teachers and Appreciative Students Review

I thought this book was cute and funny, even though I am not a teacher! It reminded me that teachers are people too, as so often students forget just as kids forget that their parents were once young. I love that I can pick this book up anytime and read a short story to cheer me up or make me laugh. The stories are from both new and experienced teachers so you get to see both ends of the spectrum. It also covers good and bad kids, funny and embarrassing moments, and stories of bonding.
Not all of the stories are funny at first, but they do make you smile and are inspirational. One of my favorite stories is called "The White Car," and is about a teacher who accidentally hit a 9 year old boy who later ended up in her high school classroom! (They joked and bonded that year.) I think this book would make an especially great gift for any teacher, but then again I enjoyed it as a mom!
I received this book to review, but it is 100% my opinion.
