Here is the latest review on Amazon.
“Heart Warming Tales” is a collection of short stories, unified by the same theme - love.
The mood of each is different: some wistful and sad, some uplifting and inspirational, but each is unique in its own way.
Stories of sacrifice, betrayal, deception, hope, and forgiveness are brought to life through a kaleidoscope of characters who only try to find their true love (or struggle not to lose it).
Such subject matters as human trafficking, one’s spouse’s failing health, domestic abuse and many more are also revealed through the protagonists’ eyes, which will certainly find a response from many readers. Well-written and easy to read, these stories will definitely warm many hearts.
Five stars."

What I learned on my recent trips in 2017
ST. LUCIA
My trip to St. Lucia was a wonderful experience.
St, Lucia has a population of 178,716 people.
My family and I stayed at the Body Holiday All-inclusive Hotel, Resort, and Spa.
It is a fabulous resort with 155 rooms located on a 42-acre plot beside Cariblue Beach on the northwest tip of St Lucia.
It offers more than most all-inclusive holidays and offers a lifestyle experience with a focus on wellness, health, and fitness.
Their mantra is “give us your body for a week and we’ll give you back your mind.”
The resort has a package filled with activities combined with a daily spa treatment.
Visitors are free to choose to be as active or as relaxed as they please.
The beach and the Caribbean Sea are temptingly set out before them.
There are several other tourist attractions like these on the island, which does not seem to have a foreign exchange problem.
The capital, Castries, is a popular cruise port.
Bananas and tourism are their main source of income.
The holiday we spent there was memorable.
CURACAO
Curacao with a population of approximately 160,000 is another Caribbean Paradise.
The island has more than 35 well-developed and captivating beaches, a diverse heritage spanning 55 different cultures, 'live and let live' attitude and unrivaled European architecture.
The language there is a mixture of Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese and is called Papiamento.
Curacao is definitely one of the most exceptional islands of the region.
Its capital city, Willemstad — a UNESCO World Heritage site — with its iconic colorful Handelskade backdrop and roster of museums, monuments, flavorful restaurants, and great shopping, was selected in 2013 as one of the Top 5 Cities in the Caribbean by Condé Nast Traveler's readers.
Its natural beauty, pristine diving, and snorkeling sites are a favorite with divers and adventure seekers.
WE visited Jan Theil Beach and Harbour Club and were impressed.
This island is fortunately situated outside of the Hurricane Belt, and this makes it a tourist haven.
The Queen Emma Bridge in Willemstad is a floating pontoon bridge that links the "Punda" (Point Side) and the "Otrobanda" (Other Side) of the Willemstad across the Sint Annabaai Channel.
We saw the bridge open and close to marine traffic into St. Anna Bay. It was an amazing sight.
In the event the bridge is open for a prolonged time, there is a ferry service across the channel.
Queen Juliana Bridge, Willemstad is the highest bridge in the Caribbean and one of the tallest bridges in the world. It is 185 feet high.
The bridge overlooks St. Anna Bay as well as Willemstad.
Safety is not a big issue on Curacao.
The locals are friendly, welcoming, and willing to give assistance.
A major part of the island's income comes from tourists.
There is little crime and this is not something about which the average tourist needs to worry.
The oil refinery is clean and well maintained and the oil tanks look like they were painted yesterday.
This small island is a tourist’s dream.
There is much to do in that small island and I loved it.
The family had a great time.
FLORIDA
When I walked into the Broward Medical Center, I was amazed at the facilities there.
The whole of the downstairs was rented out to a Cafeteria, Starbucks, Subway, McDonald's, and a gift shop.
I think that is a great way to bring in additional income by way of rent from the business sector for the hospital.
To read about my many trips read 'Travel Memoirs with Pictures: Exploring the World.
The book is available at Amazon Universal Link and Books2 Read Universal Link.

My Life as a Banker: A Life Worth Living]] is a wonderful story detailing how the author started at a clerical level and rose to a senior position, solely on the basis of her dedication, hard work, and intelligence. Brenda Mohammad describes how the manual work was transformed to computerization, her working at different branches and working relationship with her colleagues Her farewell party from the fellow workers describes how popular she was during her stay with them.
It was interesting to note, as a tradition, the groom used to write a letter to the bride's father to seek permission to marry his daughter. This is what happened when her husband proposed her. Description of her marriage is so beautiful and emotional.
Brenda had an extensive travelling of the United States and Europe; I enjoyed her visits to Germany and Holland the most.
Close knitting in her family and how her parents and her siblings took care of each other is worth reading; It was touching to read how her father talked to all of his children separately before his death. Brenda's belief in God is remarkable.

REVIEWS
Review by Readers Favorite:
Retirement is Fun: A New Chapter by Brenda Mohammed is an interesting memoir where the author shares with readers her moments after retirement and how it is a time when everyone should sit back and enjoy life. After reading this book, no one will dread retirement. They will all look forward to it and use that time to enjoy the beauty of life, spend more time with the family, and experience their unconditional love. Retiring from the job does not mean one retires from life because one gets time to appreciate the beauty of unlimited time and use it effectively by doing things they missed out on doing while they were working
.
The book is uplifting as it makes everyone who is going to retire look forward to it. The author's experiences and adventures after retirement give readers ideas on how to handle their lives in a good and happy way after retiring from their jobs. Brenda Mohammed shows by example how one's attitude can make a difference to everything and life can be enjoyed at any age, irrespective of whether you are young or not.
The memoir is simple and chronicles the author's life and events, taking readers into her space. The memoir is a good read; readers can connect well with what the author says and the events and experiences in her life and the way she handles life is tangible. The words of wisdom from Dr. Murdoch quoted at the end of the book are very inspirational and will help readers look at life in a positive way. An interesting book for all those who are going to retire from their jobs and want to know how to handle life after that.
Comment by a British Writer Margaret Lossl shared on LinkedIn
"We all face challenges. I have found that 'what doesn't kill you will make you stronger' to be true. I have recently met an inspirational writer Brenda Mohammed and in her book 'Retirement is Fun: A New Chapter' (Amazon) she reveals her triumph over hazardous challenges. Her positive outlook and faith carry her through the difficult phase between her high-profile job in a bank and retirement, but it is in these halcyon days of retirement, that life really throws her a curved ball. No matter what you are going through, make it count and enable growth. You are not alone.
Retirement is Fun: A new Chapter was a nominee in the Metamorph's Publishing Summer Indie Book Awards 2016.

A Brilliant Review of Your Time is Now: A Time to be born and a Time to die.
J.B. Richards's review Nov 16, 2016
it was amazing
Read from November 13 to 14, 2016
'A Time to Read: A Beautiful and Soulful Tale about Trust and Belief in the Lord!
Having herself experienced a lifetime of tragedy and joy, Author Brenda Mohammed assumes the mantle of theologian/philosopher in her quest to understand and explain the elegance and meaning found in the biblical verses extolled in Ecclesiastes 3.
In "Your TIME is NOW: A Time to be Born and a Time to Die", Mohammed fully examines each memorable and precious verse and applies them to her own life experiences.
In doing so, she takes the reader on a journey through a lifetime filled with trials and tribulations, despair and hope, loss and success.
The author eloquently defines Ecclesiastes 3, pointing out that, by freely accepting God's will, she has been amply blessed with a faithful family, loyal mentors, good friends, and a full life.
She successfully leaves her readers with a message of hope and inspiration by sharing her belief that, through introspection and prayer, one may find meaning within the events of their own everyday experiences.
She appears to be a firm proponent to the old adage, "When days seem at their darkest, surrendering and trusting in the divine will ensure peace and prosperity".
All in all, I found this book to be quite engaging.
The author's reflections on her childhood were beyond charming in some spots, yet brought me to tears in others.
Her candidness about her relationships with parents, siblings, husband, and her own children reminded me so much of my own family's saga, and I must admit that I was thrilled to find a read that tugged at my heartstrings the way this book did! For any individual seeking solace and meaning in today's hectic world.
"Your TIME is NOW: A Time to be Born and a Time to Die" is a beautiful and soulful read. Thank you, Brenda Mohammed, for sharing your journey with me!'
Thank you, Author JB Richards
