5 Days Until Halloween!


5 days and counting!  I absolutely love Halloween!  The kids in costumes trick or treating,  throwing parties with all the spooky and gory snacks and beverages,  and PUMPKIN CARVING! 


What more fun is there than getting your hands in the guts of a pumpkin and creating a design that you can show off on your own porch?  How about roasting those pumpkin seeds?  Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm!

There is so much associated with Halloween that makes this my favorite holiday!  I don't know what I'd ever do if it got cancelled lol.  But some of the things related are:

Spiders
 Bats

 Skeletons

 Vampires

And of course let's not forget Michael!


The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year.  (http://wilstar.com/holidays/hallown.htmGreat article on Halloween.

I love the decorating and the celebrating.  I love seeing all of the costumes and movies that are out during Halloween. 

SOOOOOO......How do you like to celebrate Halloween?

Wishing everyone a very Happy and Spook Filled Halloween from BK Walker Books Etc.  to YOU!

Being sexy; a costume or a way of life?

9

 About Michael:

 From his website - The Holy G-Rail

A sexuality life coach and the author of the Top selling book, “The Holy G-rail”. (G-spot, R-relating, A-anatomy, I-into, L-lovemaking) (Booksurge 2007).

He believes all women are The Holy Grail and should be treated as such. The Holy G-rail shows the dualities between the fabled "HOLY GRAIL" and the beautiful women that are within our presence daily.
He is also the Denver Sex and Sensuality Expert for Examiner.com and writes a weekly Q&A column for them.

Michael has been interviewed by many Local, National and International magazines and radio shows including;  The Susan Block radio show out of LA as well as Sirius 198 PLAYBOY Radio's "The Afternoon Advice Show" with -Host- Tiffany Granath and "Night Calls" with -Host- Christy Canyon. Locally he has been on shows like, 106.7 KBPI "The Uncle Nasty Show" and 105.9 Alice "Your time with Kim Iverson" just to mention a few.

He is also a painter, photographer, and student of the Kabbalah residing in Colorado.
His many artistic works represent the sensuality, passion, and movement of all forms. Michael’s paintings, photography, and writing mirror his belief that all beauty is an expression of the One Self. Thus Ladies and Gentlemen he has found the "Holy Grail"- or rather it has found him. As Creation flows forth through him, this simple system of "relations" has also come forth like a lightning bolt from the Heavens. He gives thanks for the knowledge and inspiration given to him and eagerly shares it with you.

 

Being sexy; a costume or a way of life?

It’s time to address this age-old problem; year in and year out, we all see it! Ladies and Gentlemen letting their hair down, dressing scantily in almost no clothing, all for this ritual we call Halloween. I sometimes find it really hard to swallow this same old… same old.

Why is it that Halloween is the only time some of us feel that we can actually go out and push the bounds of our beauty and sexuality? Why is it we only use this age old holiday as an excuse to strut around with a mask and barely anything on below it? For that matter, why pull out that beautiful sexy gown that you hide back in the closet and pretend to be Cinderella only on this one sacred day?


Each and every one of you has beauty and sexuality to share.
I know that Halloween seems to be a good day to do this, only because everyone is in costume and no one can scoff at you.

But really, why wear beauty and sexuality as a costume, and then for only one day?
If you can see yourself this way for one day, why not try for a second, then a third, etc. Let your insecurities down; see yourself as beautiful each and every moment of each and every day. I believe the reason we see so many more people dress sexy and provocative on this one day, is because no one can say anything about it... it's a costume and... who cares what anybody thinks??
There-in-lies the Secret: “do what you will”, again if it comes from your heart of hearts, and makes you feel special and good, who cares what anyone else thinks? Pour beauty into yourself daily, thus you pour beauty into the world. You are Beautiful, you are Special, share it with each and every soul you come across, do this each and every day, thus you too will change the views we have, in this the world, in which we live!
Smiles,
Michael Schuessler~

Upcoming Guest Tomorrow Michael Schuessler - author of The Holy G-Rail

Don't miss out on my upcoming guest tomorrow - Michael Schuessler, author of The Holy G-Rail.

***** Review of All I Want Is Everything by Kim Upstone

PictureAll I Want is Everything:  A Guide To Love, Peace, and Happiness by Kim Upstone was a fantastic read.  A great guide for self improvement.

With exercises throughout the entire book to help you change your mindset,  and advice on how to change the way you think,  this title was great.

I followed the exercises and found myself enjoying what Kim Upstone lays out for a blueprint on life.

Getting you thinking and putting into practice to control your thinking, this title helps you gain control of your life and your mind.  Broken down into areas of life we may be struggling with,  it's easy to read and follow Kim's guidance.

Once you read this book,  you will definitely have a different outlook on life, choosing what you will let bother you and what you will now be able to overlook.  What's really important vs. what's not.

Upstone did a fabulous job engaging the reader,  and though it will take time to make your new way of thinking a habit,  it will definitely get you looking at life differently.

I give All I Want Is Everything:  A Guide To Love,  Peace, and Happiness,  the first installment in the All I Want Is Everything Series ***** (5) Stars,  BK Walker.  http://bkwalkerbooks.weebly.com

***** Review of If I Could Ask God Anything by Kathryn Slattery

Picture
If I Could Ask God Anything by Kathryn Slattery was a fantastic book!  Easy to read and full of questions and answers that are easily understandable for any child.

It starts off with a parents guide which was fabulous. Then broken into sections of the bible, with common questions kids might want to know.

There is an explanation of the questions with bible verses to refer to,  along with a reason at the end of each question as to why God did or said a particular thing.

I absolutely loved this book and not only can it benefit children with questions, but new Christians as well.  Aren't new Christians like children anyways as they try to learn about their faith?  I wished I would have had this book when I first started reading the bible and became a new Christian.

Slattery did such a magnificent job with If I Could Ask God Anything. I would recommend this book to anyone that has questions about God,  Jesus,  and the bible. 

It would be great for any Church to have on hand as well.

I give it ***** (5) Stars, BK Walker.  http://bkwalkerbooks.weeby.com
