For your consideration, I am sharing a bit of a book review from Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, that I found interesting and quite enlightening:
The Untold Story of the New Testament Church by Frank Viola, per Dr. Sherri Tenpenny’ Substack review of the book.The Untold Story of the New Testament Church by Frank Viola, per Dr. Sherri Tenpenny’ Substack review of the book.

Everything happens for a reason in the multiverse with myriad sides to every story
Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason in the multiverse and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.
Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s THRIVE in ’25!

I am grateful for fellow authors and blogger pals, like Michael D. LeFevre, author of He Was Weird.
Once you read, He Was Weird, the story will stick with you. Within the pages of this book is a multifaceted story that holds deep meaning for parents, teenagers, teachers, and those in authority. The story of will grip you. It won’t let you go until you reach the final conclusion, which isn’t simply what the boy does, or why, but how his actions change (both directly and indirectly) all of those around him.
While reading the first few chapters, it occurred to me that I wasn’t the target audience for this book because “I’m not a sports person,” nor do I have teenage children. I’m not a school teacher, or authoritarian figure who might influence a teen either. I wondered if I could make it through the book! But we do have a 13-year old granddaughter who is on the Autism spectrum. We think she’s outgrown most of it, but we do still find that she needs help, like more time to complete her school assignments. My daughter works with said granddaughter’s teachers and school administrators to give her that extra allotment of time, thankfully. But other kids have bullied our granddaughter and I’ve offered her the same advice my mother gave me when I was little. I was bullied from the time I was in kindergarten. Ah! So, there’s the touch point.
The more I read of the bullying our main character endured, the more hooked I became in this book. Though the story is about a boy, I could still relate a bit. Especially the name calling. Even as a girl, I got physically hit, had hair pulled, and had toys broken when I was little, so there’s that. But overall, I think the bullying made me think less of myself–it dropped my sense of ‘self esteem’. And in this case, for a young boy on the Autism spectrum who suffered deficits in attention, motor control, and perception (DAMP), it was so much worse. I connected with him, while thinking of my granddaughter and how she absorbs words and actions deeply, and as some would say, “takes EVERYTHING to heart.”

I won’t give you spoilers because there’s so much action within the pages of He Was Weird. Besides the main characters, there are many others you will get to know. There are characters you’ll love and several you’ll want to hate. There will be characters you’ll side with and those you’ll want to kick out of the job or office they’re in. I sympathized with several and couldn’t imagine living in their shoes. And there were many I would never want to know, much less live near. But I don’t want to spoil it for you. I will say, be prepared to sit with this book and learn lessons from it. There’s plenty of blame to go around by the end. This book is engaging and potentially life-saving. You’ll see.
We’re down to earth (even if we are conspiracy theorists) not in the ground yet! Just dancing around in the mystifying Multiverse… all humble like. But we’re always thinking, onward and upwards! And since I haven’t had much feedback, I’ve decided to focus on the following topics for 2025, continuing to dance with my strange and unusual sides. Thus, in upcoming blog posts I’ll write about:
Balancing Perspectives
Expanding Consciousness
Self Reflection
Kaleidoscope Method
Mirrorball Perspectives
Moral Ambiguities
Multifaceted
Multiverse

I’m a slow reader, especially when I read a few pages of any book and seek the similarities and synchronicities it raises in my life. Thus, my apologies to Dawn for taking so long to post my review of Ariel’s Song, her lovely book of poetry.
I love how Dawn organized her book, with genuine Acknowledgments and a Dedication to her daughter, Ariel. I love that Dawn’s poems are poignant and reach deep into one’s soul. I find her words authentic and fascinating, even on subjects one may not explore often if at all.
I’m usually not one to seek out and buy books of poetry, but I do have three on the Kindle app on my phone and I will often read a few pages before I go to sleep (unless I am charging my phone in another room). We turn off our WiFi at night but now, but I get good service on my phone in our new location, so I have picked up nighttime reading again. I do have a reading light and several paperback books, but holding them and turning pages annoys me when I am sleepy. As well, I love to highlight and search within the Kindle books, so there’s that.
I’m quite happy to have Dawn’s book on my phone (in my Kindle app), so I can reference any of her poems whenever I wish. Though I like and love several of her poems, I know me. I will pick it up again in a year or so and find that others will resonate with me. That’s how reading goes for me. For now though, I will share my list of favorites with you next.
My favorite poems within the pages of Dawn’s book, Ariel’s Song are:
Stars Fade
Ariel’s Song
Rapping
Drunken Poet
Evening at the Mosque
The Last God
Melissa and the Angels
Christ’s Sorrow
Hold on to that Dream
My Life is a Desert
When the Morning Comes
Legacy
My Grave
The Age of Elegance
The Sleeping Beauty
The Rusty Tin Can
Psychology
The Girl on the Bus
The Old Man at the Piano
This Land is in My Blood
Springtime

Sonnet to the Moon
O Thou, England!
April Showers
Where Shall We Go
Dreamcatcher

I’ve also written a short 5-star review on Goodreads for Dawn’s book too!
Ariel’s Song can be found in paperback and Kindle versions on Amazon.
