41. To Love a Hero (Wild Oak series Book 2) by Justine Davis contemporary romance. This series focuses on the relationships, the inner struggle of the characters. I love her people.

42. The Hero Next Door (Wild Oak series Book 3) by Justine Davis contemporary romance. The characters captured my heart, as usual. 

43. The Billionaire of Dragon Hill (Wild Oak series Book 4) by Justine Davis contemporary romance. One of the things I love about my favorite authors' stories (Justine Davis, Traci Hunter Abramson, Staci Stallings, Elizabeth Maddrey) is the development of a healthy support system of friends that help the main characters. Spoiler: I loved the reference to Pappy Boyington. 

44. For the Love of a Child (Wild Oak series Book 5) by Justine Davis contemporary romance. Difficult subjects with characters I love. I'm sad to see the end of the series, but it was a great ending. 

45. Hope for Christmas (Hope Ranch series Book 1) by Elizabeth Maddrey Christian romance. While this is the first book of the series, the sister to the hero is featured in Maddrey's Peacock Hill series. I love her flawed Christians doing the best they know how.

Brain Dump

To the rich man who wants to dim the sun, how about spending all that money to help find a cure for cancer? Or kidney disease? Or heart disease? Or end human trafficking? Or end starvation? Oh, wait, you clearly want starvation since you want to dim the sun. A philanthropist is not generous or kind or even a real philanthropist if the plan includes starving people.

REAL - Reduce stress Exercise Adequate sleep Lower caloric intake

What Navy SEALs are required to do to make it into BUD/S:

Right up front: Never in a million years could I do what is required. However, I needed to start somewhere. Considering how fit the SEALs are, I figured it was a good place to start. My pushups are against the wall.

Using 1, 2, and/or 4-lb weights:

PT ~ Physical therapy

UBP ~ Upper body exercises, pushups, and chair sits against the wall

SEALFit shared some good hints I want to learn and remember:
