A GPS for your Retirement

This would be the first post of a non-fiction in our blog and I’m glad to introduce you all “A GPS for your Retirement” written by Ken Mahoney, a financial advisor, speaker and an author with over 24 years of professional experience.

The book offers you all the necessary tips to make a clear-cut plan for your retirement. Author has penned it in very simple English and has skillfully tagged each and every fact with practical examples which would make any reader to understand and absorb the concepts. The chapters are well organized covering all the aspects and each chapter is sub-divided into various small topics which would tickle your senses to keep on reading. 

The book is a step by step guide in how to visualize our future and make it happen with great enthusiasm and excitement.

Unlike the other books written on this subject, this book starts with a special and much needed topic, psychology. Ken teaches us to address our subconscious and make it believe in our dreams so that ultimately it would win over the conscious and make us achieve the targets.

The book indeed is an interactive road map to your retirement. Gone are the days you would dread to think about your retirement or retire with joy but end up in misery due to the lack of financial supports after a few years. The book is a must read to everybody out there who would love to endure in a future of non-working bliss. I give the book 5 stars and consider myself lucky to come across it. You are never too early to plan up your retirement, so the book is recommended to every individual regardless their age.

Ending the note with few lines extracted from the book.

“The best thing about having a well-thought out plan for your future is that it gives you the luxury of enjoying today and feeling secure that your retirement years are being provided for. It’s about being able to strike a balance between living for today and preparing for tomorrow.”

Sneak Peek from 'Personal Growth' (pages 22-23)

“Aunt Janie?” I asked, finding her at the kitchen table. She was looking over some papers, which I assumed by the calculator were finances. “Are you busy?”

Aunt Janie looked up. “No, no. I could use a break from this anyways. What is it, sweetie?”

“I was just thinking about a lot of things today.” I wasn't really sure how to broach the subject of heritage or my father with her.

“Like what?”

“Well, for starters… if you’re three quarters Choctaw, was momma that much to?” Aunt Janie nodded her head to say that it did. “So what does that make me?”

“Three-eighths, I think, from our side.” Aunt Janie answered.

Nodding my head to show I understood, I said “Well… I was wondering something else.” I paused momentarily, pondering how best to ask this question. I finally decided the best way to do it was to just be out with it. “Do you know who my father was?”

Aunt Janie’s face took on a slightly pained expression as though my words caused her a small physical blow. “Your mom never told you who your father was?” I shook my head to answer no but remained silent. “Well, yes, I know who your father is.”

The Sea of Storms

Chubby Cheeks is back again with another wonderful book for you all and this would be the first time a science fiction is featured in our blog. The Sea of Storms by Mark Whiteway is the first book of the Lodestone Series which has four books in total. It is truly a masterpiece and I find myself very lucky to come across it.

The story is set in an imaginary world of Kelannis who live in a world under three suns which are, Ail-Mazzoth, Ail-Gan the yellow sun and Ail-Kar the white sun. The Kelannis are controlled by a Prophet and his army called as Keltars who possess the power of flying. Neither the Prophet nor the Keltars are any good to the common kelannis, they torture the poor souls misusing the powers. Lyall, who has understood the source of power which Keltars possess rebels and tries to put a stop for all the brutality against his fellow mates. Shann, who accidently comes across Lyall volunteers to help him in his cause. But Shann is followed by the Keltars, young and talented Keris is specially appointed to do the task. Will she be able to catch Shann and prove her loyalty to the furtherance of the Prophet’s cause? The rest of the mysteries are for you to unveil by indulging yourself in the book.

The book is a natural page turnover. You won’t feel like putting down the book until the very end. The thing I loved the most about the book is the narration and the writing style. The author excels in taking the maximum benefit of a rich vocabulary, using the right words at the right place. The story is developed and described so perfectly. The language is picturesque and the flow of the story is so smooth and well organized. Each new character or fact is introduced in an ever so talented way by giving enough time for the readers to absorb the things and get adjusted with the new world created upon their eyes. Although a whole new world, the book won’t overload your mind with a bunch of characters and happenings. The theme is simple, which is about fighting against the evil, but the story is unique in its own way with a remarkable and a mind blowing plot. Being the first book of the series, it really is intriguing and promises an amazing set of stories ahead.

The author has the ability to drag us along a finely created fantasy, and I assure you that it’s a journey worth taking and truly entertaining. I give the book five stars and recommend it to all the fiction lovers out there. If you are in search of an amazing read, try this out! It’s a book which will make you fall in love with and make you eagerly wait to get your hands on the next in the series.

Ending the note with a line taken from the book.

“The key to defeating a tyrant–any tyrant–is to understand the source of their power. Once you do that, you can manipulate it; even use their own power against them.”
