RE: Down Memory Lane #1: Remembering The Old Times
Great post! So much of what I remember from my childhood in the 70's seems like another lifetime now. I remember going to the dime store and buying penny candy. My brother and I would come out of there with a whole bag of candy for a few dollars. My father had a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T with almost 500hp. One of my earliest memories was riding in the back seat and smoke from his tires rolling in the side windows. : )
OMG, I forgot about the penny candy!!! You actually gave me another happy moment! And your father's Dodge Charger R/T was another recollection. That same year my sister bought her first car and it was a green Dodge Charger! It was so cool back then and had very good pick-up when going up those steep hills in SF. They were some of the best times of my life. My best car memory was when my family drove cross country from NY to SF in our new 56 two tone ford. We were moving to SF so my father needed to new car in order to make that long trip. Thank-you so much for even looking at my post. It is truly deeply & appreciated. I know you are very busy with everything that you are doing, so even taking the time to comment always touches an inner part of me. By the way, I just completed the Perfect Pause. It was amazing and heartfelt. Tonight I will write a review in Amazon but I need to contemplate first on how to write the review, because I want to do it justice. Excellent, excellent book that everyone should read! Again, thank-you so much for all your contributions!.......look, I wrote so much here that it's almost a book! :D
Those classic Chargers were powerful cars for their day, definitely. My dad said he could literally watch the gas gauge move when he floored it. : ) Of course, gas was only $.25 per gallon back then though. I can't even imagine how well the '56 Ford rode. What a great car for a road trip. Thank you for the kind words about the book. I really aimed to write something simple for the beginner, something that could be easily integrated into their lives. It makes me happy that you enjoyed it. I so appreciate the fact that you're writing a review of the book. That helps indie authors more than most people realize, it gives books more legitimacy in the eyes of the public. Thanks again and have a wonderful evening!
Again, thank-you so much for taking your time to write this reply. I am always so touched by your giving soul. Your, The Perfect Pause, was wonderful and I really, really loved it. It is so funny, but just before coming onto Steemit, I just finished my Amazon review for your book. It took me awhile because I had to figure out how to find the correct way to give a review. I'm not tech savvy and my daughter was out. So I finally found my way after a while, and was able to give my honest and most sincere review. Then I had to figure out how to post it. I tried to edit it but I may have hit the submit button without the corrections. It was hilarious how inept I was. At least it is on Amazon.
I wanted to share with you that in 1975, after going through a divorce, I was experiencing panic attacks, at which time there wasn't as much information about it for me. I would always think that I was going to die. My doctor put me through all sorts of tests which came out normal including a head scan, ECG, balance and hearing tests, etc. I went to all sorts of specialists without any results. It took my desperation to search on my own for any type of information on what caused my problems. Then by chance I read an article in Good Housekeeping where an individual wrote about his phobias and how it lead to angoraphobia. It gave me an aha moment and subsequently finally found what was wrong. The reason I am writing this is to suggest that you might want to do a book tour or a speaking tour, targeting support groups where people have panic attacks. As you know, it can be very, very debilitating. As a once sufferer of panic attack, I would have gone to see you speak and bought your book, because this is an area that people are desperate to find a way to help themselves and would so welcome your book. Medicine is not great about alternative methods for health as it should be. I really think you can have a significant impact in this are. My apologies for always leaving long messages. I really want you and your book to be successful! .....Cabbagepatch
