This journey has allowed me to publish my own book about my son called ‘How Many Labels Does One Child Need’, explore other means of healing and self discovery in travelling the world for spiritual missions, obtaining my Masters in Reiki, Certified End of Life Doula, a degree in Metaphysical Sciences, became an Ordained Minister, and is able to connect to the layers of children and their energetic make ups through practices like Rainbow Yoga and Chakra healing. This is the second part of who I am the more raw version. This work in itself, and having a son who had many diagnosis and struggles is what pushed me into the more raw version of who I am inside the curious, more passionate side of my human experience. I have seen and worked with the families and children who have been through the really tough stuff in life that no one wants to talk about exists. I have two amazing children and have worked for the past 10 years under the professional life in the field of social work. All parents have aspirations for their children but for some these hopes turn into unrealistic. The tangible things in life that we identify with. Become the awakened parent you've always wanted to be and watch your children thrive.

Lead Pastor of Transformation Church, NYT Best Selling Author & Recording artiste, Michael Toddhas launched a life-changing book titled – “ Crazy Faith“. Now, in a new afterword, Ehrenreich shows that the plight of the underpaid has in no way eased: with fewer jobs available, deteriorating work conditions, and no pay increase in sight, Nickel and Dimed is more relevant than ever. Funny, poignant, and passionate, this revelatory firsthand account of life in low-wage America - the story of Barbara Ehrenreich’s attempts to eke out a living while working as a waitress, hotel maid, house cleaner, nursing-home aide, and Wal-Mart associate - has become an essential part of the nation’s political discourse. Chosen for “one book” initiatives across the country, it has fueled nationwide campaigns for a living wage. Acclaimed as an instant classic upon publication, Nickel and Dimed has sold more than 1.5 million copies and become a staple of classroom reading. Not to mention an animated film based on the book.ĭragon School Omnibus by Sarah K. The author has recently (2017) added a sequel, The Griffin’s Feather and is apparently working on a third book in the series. This is perhaps one of the more popular dragon rider books. Children’s (Middle Grade/Teen) Book Series about Dragon Riders Dragon Rider Series (two books) by Cornelia Funke And, in the interest of promoting other indie authors, I’m including some books in each age category that you may not have heard of. This is not an exhaustive list, nor is it a “best of” list for book series about dragon riders. Here are some of the dragon rider stories we considered. There are many classics and even more modern, self-published books about dragons and dragon riders.īut when we considered various book series about dragon riders, and popular movies with dragons and their riders, we looked for ideas that were believable…given their respective fantastical worlds and the three assumptions previously mentioned. Obviously, we’re not the first fantasy authors to write about dragons and consider the feasibility of someone riding a dragon. I did get to Bolivia, even went to the area Coleman so enchantingly brings to life, but, alas, didn’t volunteer in an animal sanctuary, nor, sadly, walk big cats. Not just because it sounded exciting and the cover is beautiful, but because it resonated – I’d done exactly the same thing as Coleman, jacked in a job in my twenties to travel around Latin America. When I first heard about Laura Coleman’s The Puma Years, I immediately wanted to read it. She prowls towards us and I’m staring, so overwhelmed, that when Jane slides both her arms carefully through the fence, I almost yelp … What is she thinking? … Then she’s licking. So long that I think she might not move at all, and when she does finally leap from the top of the platform, landing so gracefully it’s almost like she’s not moved, I step back with respect. She looks at us for a long, silent moment. The only part of her that stands out are her eyes, which are as green as the tops of those paddle-shaped plants, and her nose, pink as the tip of a sunset.

Three generations of stories slipped through the cracks in the words between us, two whole lifetimes lost in translation. I knew Yeh Yeh from the time I was born, but our conversations were limited to a handful of broken sentences here and there in three different languages - English, Cantonese, toisanhua. The truth is, I never really learned to speak Chinese very well in any dialect. I guess I assume a lot of things about Yeh Yeh. He wouldn’t have learned those words, or so I assume. I don’t know if there’s a word for “trans” in toisanhua, my family’s ancestral tongue.Ĭontemporary Cantonese and Mandarin have developed a variety of roughly equivalent terms, but my Yeh Yeh was a working-class man who grew up in rural China during the Civil War and the Japanese invasion, and never attended high school. I never told him I was trans, which I’m not certain he would have understood anyway. We were close in the way that relatives who have always known each other but never really spoken are both close and distant at the same time. My Yeh Yeh, paternal grandfather, died six years ago. Today’s Installment: The Gods of Mars (1913) The series spans 1912 to 1964 with eleven books: nine novels, a book of linked novellas, and a volume collecting two unrelated novellas. A dry and slowly dying world, the planet known to its inhabitants as “Barsoom” contains four different human civilizations, one non-human one, a scattering of science among swashbuckling, and a plethora of religions, mystery cities, and strange beasts. Our Saga: The adventures of Earthman John Carter, his progeny, and sundry other visitors and natives, on the planet Mars. Also known as: “Edgar Rice Burroughs gets the knack.” For all that is wonderful about A Princess of Mars, it looks like a runt compared to the book I knew was snapping at its heels: The Gods of Mars. Now that I’ve read most of Burroughs’s canon, the flaws of his first book seem more obvious. That book knocked me out when I first read it as a junior high school kid, but it was also the first ERB book I ever picked up. I played a bit rough with A Princess of Mars last week in my first installment of this eleven part mega-series on the Martian novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs. I loved what she had to say about prejudice, especially religious prejudice, and I enjoyed learning about the Massacre of Glencoe. What I liked most about Susan Fletcher's novel is the history behind it. She had to go to the Scottish highlands to find people willing to accept her and to embrace her gifts. Since doctor and witch were synonyms, Corrag found herself in situations where she would help heal someone's loved one, only to be chased through the woods by witch hunters. During that period, prayer was the only acceptable method of curing disease or treating wounds. Corrag is a loner, of course, but her biggest crime is healing. I had a picture in my head of a number of misunderstood loners who paid the price for the prejudices of the day. But prior to reading Corrag (also released with the title The Highland Witch) I never considered why women were labeled as witches. The burning of women labeled as witches is a part of human history that is a horrendous travesty of justice. |
