Book Review: How to Roll Like Chris P. Bacon






Book Review:  How to Roll Like Chris P. Bacon by Len Lucero and Kristina Tracy


The book, How to Roll Like Chris P. Bacon, by Len Lucero and Kristina Tracy, is a wonderful book not only for children but for everyone.  In this story, Chris P. tells us more about what he has learned about life.  He talks about being adventurous and encourages us to try new things.  He gives advice on how to handle embarrassing situations and other situations encountered in life.  This is a very uplifting and empowering book; however, it is written in a very entertaining way that keeps children captivated.  The illustrations are bright and colorful, making it exciting to turn the page and see what is next.
I think this book offers great advice for looking at life in a light-hearted, go-with-the-flow type attitude.  This is a great lesson to teach children early on, as let’s face it, when we go with the flow of life the situations that crop up are easier to handle.  My children are serious Chris P. Bacon fans.  They are excited and cannot wait for more Chris P. Bacon stories.

Book Review: The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss & Body Confidence (A Woman’s Guide to Stressing Less, Weighing Less, and Loving More) by Jessica Ortner






Book Review:  The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss & Body Confidence (A Woman’s Guide to Stressing Less, Weighing Less, and Loving More) by Jessica Ortner


When I first began listening to Hay House Radio, I was introduced to EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or tapping by listening to Nick Ortner’s radio show.  Immediately, I was interested in this this method to break some negative thought cycles occurring in my daily experience.  When I saw that Nick’s sister, Jessica, had written a book dealing with EFT for weight loss and body confidence, I felt that it would be a “must read” as I have wondered how tapping for weight loss would work.

Jessica has had an experience with weight gain/loss and lack of body confidence that many of us have gone through or are currently going through.  She offers extremely clear, easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to use tapping effectively for weight loss.  Along with these instructions, she explains the panic behind dealing with feelings.  Jessica drills down the “why’s” behind emotional eating and how to change our thoughts and beliefs in order to break the cycle of emotional eating.  She offers stories about her own experience and the experiences of others who have used tapping to help with weight loss and body confidence.

I found The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss & Body Confidence to be extremely helpful.  Jessica Ortner covers an unbelievable amount of information in a candid and succinct way.  Almost any question you might have on this subject and how to overcome related challenges.  This book is a “must have” for every woman as a large number of us forget that self-care is not selfish and we almost all have experience or are experiencing at least one of the challenges mentioned in this book.
