Whispers of love, the poems in this section, express tender, caring, true unconditional love as well as dreams of the future and memories of the past. Feelings to share with the one you love, trying to put into words emotions when no words are needed. Miscellaneous poems are just that, most were written to or using names from an Internet chat room. Many I first met online are now close personal friends.

Wusel the mouse, Hoot the curious owl, Hunter the busy beaver as well as their friends Cheeks the forgetful squirrel, and Pokey the shy porcupine learn that being different is okay. Living close together and each learning about the others they come to realize they all have their special talents and are all-important. Their adventures as well as their mistakes teach them to except one another. They also learn things about themselves. Can a small mouse help an owl? Can a strong busy beaver help his friends? Will the shy porcupine perform an act of bravery? Why does Cheeks have blue spots? Are owls really wise or do they also need to learn? Do we all look at things and see them the same? I hope you enjoy reading The Mouse & The Curious Owl and learning some of the lessons they learned.

If children are our future, its important that they remember the past, because if they dont, no one will. Who, if not parents, can impart family histories and heritage upon children? Nkem DenChukwus inspirational collection, the issues of bloodline and heritage are tackled head-on, along with the importance of ones culture. In Part I, DenChukwu delves into the tribal heritage of the Igbos of Eastern Nigeria. She explains it vividly, how being born in any one country does not determine who you really are. Instead, your bloodline represents your true heritage. In understanding the difference, DenChukwu believes you can better understand yourself. In Part II, she transitions into lucid life tales to show the beauty in a language, how ones culture and the lack thereof, can affect ones thought processes and behavior. It is possible to lose an accent or assimilate into a new culture. It is also possible to forget your heritage, and in this forgetfulness, people lose much.

This booklet is a snapshot of conversations I’ve had with myself about Life and what can happen on any given day in my world of thought. At times balance and harmony were very elusive in my attempt to handle difficult situations. My awkwardness accepting the fact that stumbling was better than falling gave way to a greater understanding that being flawed never stopped the Love. My inner voice helped me recognize my struggles were Life’s lessons to get a sense of who I am.

Security carted a ranting Nurse Lanning off Echo Property. Bart apologized to Echo with Dora's intrusion. Thanked her for not believing Dora's lies. Echo in turn snapped, "Dr. Mc Burney you will knock before entering my office, I have a patient waiting so please leave!"He's sick at heart and dug himself deeper by snapping back with, "Dr. Von Solo do you want my resignation?""That's your choice, not mine!" She ordered like a Drill Sergeant.
