What are Tarot Cards?•
Posted on October 05 2020
What are Tarot Cards?
Tarot cards are a traditionally structured deck consisting of 78 cards. Usually the deck is divided into two sections – the Major and Minor Arcana.
The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards and these cards are number 0 to 21.
The Minor Arcana consists of 56 cards and these are divided into 4 suits of cards. Historically the suits were wands, cups, swords and pentacles. In more recent times the names may occasionally be changed, however this is not very common.
What is the Major Arcana?
The Major Arcana examines the big themes of life through the lens of collective experiences of the journey we call life. The cards in the Major Arcana tell the story of the fool and his experiences as he makes his way through life. The story draws parallels and connections between the journey of the Fool and our own journey as he navigates setbacks and lessons, trials and tribulations and accomplishments. These cards talk to the long term direction and big picture of our lives.
What is the Minor Arcana?
By contrast, the Minor Arcana is the details of our lives including the interactions, thoughts, ideas, feelings, projects and relationships. These cards represent the energy moving through our lives.
The Minor Arcana is made up of 56 cards in four suits. The suits are:
Each of these suits has 14 cards including a Knight, Page, Queen and King and number cards from Ace to 10. The suit cards represent the four elements of earth, air, fire and water.
Pentacles represents the earth and encompasses elements of the physical world. It is linked to sensuality, material possessions, career and financial wealth.
Swords represents air and the intellectual aspect of our lives. Swords are associated with the thoughts in our heads including our fears, insecurities and doubts. Communication is a key aspect of this suit.
Cups represent water and the more fluid aspects of our lives such as a matters of the heart and our inner most feelings and emotions.
Wands represent fire and the more active aspects of our lives including themes around obstacles and challenges and projects. It also looks at creativity, examining our life purpose and new ideas.This article serves as an introduction to the rich symbology, imagery and history of the Tarot. It is not possible to provide an in-depth detailed discussion and analysis of the Tarot. Expert practitioners spend many years learning how to read the cards with insight and awareness.

At Her Story of Success, we have the honor of celebrating women’s stories and achievements through the work we do every day. We’re so inspired by every woman who has appeared on the podcast, spoken at our events, or provided mentorship through our blog and social media.
And while Women’s History Month may be coming to a close, we think that conversations about women’s empowerment should continue throughout the whole year.
If you’re looking for a fresh dose of inspiration, or you want to learn more about some of the ways you can get involved with advancing the future of women across the world, here are six women you should know:
“I have a responsibility to hold the door open for other women of color.”
Even though the country music industry routinely makes it difficult for women, and especially women of color, to gain recognition, Mickey Guyton is breaking down barriers for herself and the next generation of Black country artists. Mickey, who’s best known for powerful songs like “Black Like Me” and “What Are You Gonna Tell Her?” recently became the first Black female solo artist to earn a Grammy nomination in a country category. She’s also been nominated for two Academy of Country Music Awards and has gained a loyal following despite the lack of airplay she’s received on country radio.
“Find out who you are. And do it on purpose.”
At the age of 75, you might expect Dolly Parton to be slowing down or stepping away from the spotlight. But the country icon, actress and philanthropist continues to make her mark on the world. Dolly is a shrewd businesswoman who’s capitalized on her musical fame with acting roles, an upcoming fashion line, and even a theme park, but she’s also dedicated to helping others. Dolly donates huge amounts of her wealth through philanthropic efforts including the Dollywood Foundation and Dolly’s Imagination Library, which provides children with more than 10 million books each year. Most recently, Dolly made headlines for donating $1 million to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center to help fund the Moderna vaccine for COVID-19.
“We should not make disabled lives subject to debate.”
Disabled people are extremely underserved and underrepresented in American politics and media, but Alice Wong is working to change that. Alice is a disabled activist, writer and consultant who created the Disability Visibility project, an online community that creates, shares and amplifies disability media. Alice also works with other prominent disability organizations, including DisabledWriters.com, #CripLit on Twitter, the Access is Love campaign, and #CriptheVote — a nonpartisan movement encouraging the political involvement of disabled people. Her work has been widely published in major media outlets, she served on the National Council on Disability under President Obama, and she’s been honored with many awards for her advocacy.
“We must ensure we are providing women with opportunities that allow them to reach their full potential.”
Even when women break through into male dominated industries like tech, they often encounter enormous resistance and even harassment. Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd experienced that firsthand when she was the co-founder and vice president of marketing at Tinder. When she left the company in 2014, Whitney filed a sexual harassment lawsuit and faced major online harrassment as a result. However, Whitney didn’t let this hold her back and decided to create a new dating app experience. Today, Bumble is the second-most popular dating app in the U.S., empowering women to make the first move while also offering services for networking and friendship. And when Bumble went public earlier this year, Whitney joined the small club of women self-made billionaires.
“Our lives matter.”
Black Lives Matter has grown into a global movement, but it started with a Facebook post in 2013. After George Zimmerman was acquitted in the killing of Trayvon Martin, Alicia Garza took to Facebook and wrote “A Love Letter to Black People.” The post, which ended with the words “Our lives matter,” inspired the Black Lives Matter hashtag and the global movement that followed. In addition to co-creating #BlackLivesMatter and the Black Lives Matter Global Network, Alicia is the founder of Black Futures Lab, co-founder of Supermajority, strategy and partnerships director for the National Domestic Workers Alliance, and an author and podcast host.
“And so we lift our gazes no to what stands between us, but what stands before us.”
In many ways, poetry is an underappreciated art form in modern-day America, so when Amanda Gorman’s poem became one of the most widely-discussed parts of President Biden’s inauguration, it was even more significant. At 23, Amanda became the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history, and shortly after that, she was the first poet ever commissioned to write a poem for the Super Bowl. Amanda is the author of The Hill We Climb and The One for Whom Food is Not Enough, and she founded One Page One Pen, an organization that provides underserved youth with free creative writing programs. Beyond that, Amanda has become a voice for American youth in the midst of one of the most divisive times in U.S. history.
If you’re a business owner or leader who wants to help shape the future of women through mentorship and empowerment, contact us today. We offer a wide range of sponsorships, event production and other opportunities, and we’d love to work with you!


Manilal A. Desai, 1878-1926
Manilal A. Desai was born in 1878 in Surat District of Gujarat in India. After finishing school he studied law. He worked for a few years in the legal field in India and in 1915 migrated to Kenya where he was employed by a firm of British lawyers in Nairobi. Like in the rest of the country, in lawyers’ offices, too, there was racial discrimination. Once when his European employer found him smoking at work, Desai was told that he was not to smoke in the office, that only Europeans could smoke there. Unable to put up with such blatant racism, he resigned there and then.
He then opened a small shop on River Road. However, he did not have much interest in running the business which after a short time he handed over to his nephew. His real interest was in the anti-colonial politics of the country.
Background to class formation and class struggle
Under the British rule a form of apartheid was practiced in Kenya by the colonial authority which favoured the European settlers. Fertile agricultural land in the highlands was taken over by the British colonial administration for settlement of white farmers who mostly came from Britain or South Africa. The original African owners were rendered landless and homeless, and were forced to provide labour on the now European settler owned farms. In towns the best residential areas were set aside for Europeans; Asians could only live in specially designated areas which were generally situated between European areas (with a portion of ‘no man’s land in between) and those allocated for Africans. The African areas were the poorest, where tens of thousands of people were crowded into small areas with little or no amenities. In health, education, in fact in every sphere, the three racial groups were provided with highly discriminatory and strictly segregated facilities: those for the Europeans were by far the best; those for the Africans the facilities were either non-existent or f very poor quality.
In the colonial political field, the Legislative Council and municipal councils were entirely dominated by European settlers and administrators. The Asian were given a nominal representation in these. (In 1917 Desai was chosen to represent the Asian community in the settler controlled Nairobi Municipal Council). However, the African majority was excluded altogether from these bodies.
A majority demand of the Indian Association, which was the organisational arm of the Kenyan Asian trading class, was for equal representation with the European settlers in these councils. It also wanted the representatives to be elected and not nominated by the colonial administration.
Reflecting the two distinct classes of Kenya Asians who had made the country their home, their anti- British campaign was also of two types. One class of Indian immigrants were petty traders who had started settling on the East Africa coast since the middle of the 19th century. With the colonial conquest of Kenya by the British, who had also conquered India, increasing numbers of traders were encouraged to settle here. This was intended to facilitate the penetration of British manufactured goods into the country. Following the first influx of these traders, many more were who were rendered landless and jobless during occupation of India migrated to East Africa where they initially worked for the early traders. Later they opened their own little shops in the interior. Some of these were later to become commercial and industrial giants, while the majority retained the status of retail traders, the so called dukawallas.
The second group of Indian immigrants were the workers who had been brought into the country to build the railway. During the period 1896-1903, a total of about 32,000 workers were hired. Over a half of this number eventually returned to India on completion of their contracts. Some 2,500 lost their lives on the job; 6,500 had to be sent back because of illness and injury caused during the construction work, many of them crippled for life. A total of 6,724 settled in Kenya and Uganda on completion of their work. These were skilled and semi-skilled workers who formed the nucleus of Kenya Asian working class in the early years of the century. They were employed in the railway workshops and in the government public works department around the country; or they set up their own independent little workshops in towns. Later some of them were employed in the emergent private industrial sector. Their numbers were augmented by the coming of skilled workers (masons, plumbers, blacksmiths, carpenters) who found employment in the construction industry, and others such as shoemakers, tailors, mechanics to service the growing populations of urban centres. Along with these wage-earning workers, there were salaried workers who were employed at clerical levels in the colonial administration and commercial sector, and such professionals as teachers and accountants.
The petty bourgeois and working classes led two distinct struggles. The former fought for equal opportunities with the European settlers in the economic and political spheres. The later organised themselves, along with their African workers, into trade unions and fought for just returns for their labour. The first recorded organised resistance against colonial employers took place almost with the very introduction of workers in the country, namely the 1900 railway workers’ strike. The working class struggle was, by the late 1940’s, to develop into a formidable political instrument against the British colonial system as a whole. The colonial response to the workers’ struggle was much severe than that to the constitutional struggle against institutional racial discrimination. The colonial authorities resorted to jailing and deportation of its leaders right from the earliest days. For example, following the 1914 strike of the railway and public works department workers, their leaders Mehrchard Puri and Tirath Ram were arrested and forcibly deported from the country.
Desai plunges into anti-colonial struggle
Desai’s plunge into the anti-colonial struggle was via the Indian Association of which he became the Secretary. A.M. Jeevanjee, the pioneer trader, shipowner and building contractor, was its President at the time. Along with such other leaders such as B.S. Varma, Shamsudeen, Hussein Suleman Virji, S.J. Amin and Mangal Dass, he greatly strengthened the Association organisationally. In addition, he worked towards greater cooperation of all East African Asians. This led to the re-emergence of the East African Indian National Congress linking the Asians of Kenya, Tanganyika, Uganda and Zanzibar, the four British colonial territories in the area. He became the President of the Congress.
With the entry of Desai in the Kenyan Asian political struggle, it took a more militant path. It now also stated looking at the colonial situation as a whole, and not merely from the perspective of the Kenya Asian middle class.
Having had a first-hand experience of the anti-British colonial struggle in India, he saw that the colonial exploitation and oppression in the land of his birth and in his adopted home were similar, even though the concrete forms these took in each country were different. This perspective had two results. On the one hand, he realised that the struggles in India and Kenya could learn from each other and also be strengthened if some sort of unity or coordination could be achieved since the two countries faced a common enemy, the British colonialism. For this purpose he sought he sought contact with the Indian National Congress. On the other hand, he took an active interest in the African anti-colonial struggle in which he saw similarities with the fight for independence that was going on in India. In the Kenya context, he realised that Kenyan Asians could not carry on their struggle in isolation from the African fight for their rights. In fact, from the outset he recognised that the African struggle was of primary importance.
Once having correctly analysed the colonial situation, Desai forged the instruments with which the struggle could be carried out. He saw publicity and propaganda as one of the main weapons with which the oppressed people could be informed and politicised for further action. The British colonial administration and European settlers used newspapers to propagate their interests. To combat this propaganda, Desai founded a Gujarati-English weekly, East African Chronicle. Through this paper he publicised African and Kenyan Asian grievances arising from the colonial racist discriminatory and segregatory practices. The paper also demanded political rights for the Kenyan Africans, Asians and Arabs.
Desai was instrumental in drawing the Kenyan Asian struggle closer to the African struggle. His East African Chronicle offices became the centre for the meeting of the leaders of the two communities. He worked closely with the Africa nationalist leader, Harry Thuku, who headed the East African Association. The two leaders, both bachelors, met during their spare time at Desai’s place, which consisted of a single room on River Road which was provided to him by A. M. Jeevanjee. The East African Chronicle publicised the work of the East African Association, its protest meetings and also the African grievances and demands put forward by the association. Among the issues it protested against were the appropriation of the African owned land by the colonial administration for the settlement of European immigrants; the compulsory registration of Africans and the carrying of the registration and employment papers in a metal container (the ‘kipande’) round the neck at all times; increasing taxes without any government facilities being offered in return; forced labour on European owned farms.
Desai also published Thuku’s Kiswahili paper Tangazo, and the leaflets and posters which publicised the public meetings organised by the East African Association. In addition, he helped Thuku draft a protest memorandum outlining the African demands. In July 1921 this memorandum was sent to the colonial government in England and to many overseas sympathisers of the Kenyan people.
In 1921 when the British colonial governor, Edward Northey, called a meeting of European and Asian leaders to discuss the country’s future, Desai protested at the non-representation of Africans and Arabs at the meeting, and made a forceful speech making demands on their behalf as well.
By 1922 the African protest against colonial injustices had reached a high point. Thuku and other East African Association officials were touring the country holding well-attended public meetings and demanding drastic changes in colonial policies. The colonial government was getting into a state of panic and on 14 March 1922 arrested Thuku and 50 other members of the Association. In protest against the arrests the Nairobi workers called a general strike which paralysed the town. On 16 March they organised a mammoth procession through the streets of the town, at the end of which they gathered outside the police lines, where Thuku was being held, at the present-day site of the University of Nairobi. They called for his immediate and unconditional release. The colonial police opened fire on the unarmed protesters. Gun-wielding Europeans at the nearby Norfolk Hotel joined in the shooting. Some 1501 people were killed and many more were injured. Among the first one to be shot and killed was a woman leader of the demonstration, Muthoni Nyanjiru. The extent of the support for the protest among workers of different nationalities can be seen from the fact that among the injured were some Asians, as the East African Standard of 17 March 1922 reported. Following the massacre, hundreds of workers were arrested. The East African Association leaders, Thuku, Waiganjo wa Ndotono and George Mugekenyi were deported without trial to Kismayu, Lamu and Kwale district respectively. Among the many who were imprisoned was another leader of the Association, Abdullah Tairara.
In his East Africa Chronicle, Desai gave a detailed account of the whole episode, strongly condemning the colonial administration’s ruthless handling of the incident. In conjunction with B.S Varma, Shamsudeen and Mangal Dass, he fought against the deportation orders and sought the release of the African leaders. While Thuku was in Kismayu, Desai corresponded with him to keep him informed about the developments in the country. The papers were forwarded through Thuku’s Asian shop owner contact in Kismayu. He also kept in touch with Thuku’s mother and helped her financially during her son’s enforced absence.
For a long time, the colonial authorities had been looking for an excuse to close the East African Chronicle. On a number of occasions, it had raided the paper’s offices looking for some incriminating evidence and to harass Desai and the other staff. Finally, in mid-1922 the paper was forced to close down. However, along with Sitaram Acharia and N. S Thakur, Desai carried on the fight in the pages of the Democrat. This paper at one time printed the Kikuyu Central Association’s publication Muigwithania which was edited by Johnstone Kamau (later Jomo Kenyatta).
In the constitutional sphere, the European settlers during this period were pressing for self-government for Kenya under white rule. They demanded a constitution similar to that which the European settlers in the then Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) had been granted by the British colonial government. The British government in London, as well as the colonial administration in Nairobi, had always sympathised with the settlers’ demand. In 1919 Governor Northey had proclaimed that ‘the principle had been accepted at home (i.e. in England) that this country was primarily for European development’ and that ‘European interests must be paramount throughout the protectorate’ (i.e. Kenya). in 1922 Churchill, the Colonial Secretary, confirmed this undertaking given to the European settlers and went on to assure them that they could look forward to ‘in full fruition of time to compete responsible self-government’ of ‘all civilised men’; the measurement of the so called civilisation would be by ‘well-marked European standards’.
The population of Kenya at this time was made up as follows:
Thus the destiny of over two and a half million people in the ‘self-governing’ country would be in the hands of 10,000 white settlers. By 1923, it appeared that the fate of the country had already been decided upon. Desai, in a telegram sent to the British Colonial Office in February 1923, strongly challenged this policy. He said that Kenya being an African country, the interests of the Africans should be protected and that there should be ‘no predomination (of) European or Indian settlers’.
In March 1923 the British government called a meeting in London to discuss the future of the country. The Kenyan Asian delegation, comprising among others of A. M. Jeevanjee, Shamsudeen, B. S. Varma, H. S. Virji, was led by Desai. The British colonial government in India sent a delegation to the conference made up of non-official Indian members of the Indian Legislative. These two delegations opposed the European settler demands. African leaders were once again excluded. The leaders of the East African Association, in a memorandum sent with Desai, protested at their non-inclusion at the conference. During the conference itself, Joseph Kang’ethe sent a cable to London on behalf of the Association declaring that Africans ‘should not be handed over to a self-governing Kenya in which settlers predominate’. All this opposition forced the British colonial government to back down.
In July 1923, in language reminiscent of Desai’s February telegram, the Colonial Secretary, the Duke of Devonshire, declared that in Kenya ‘the interests of the African native must be paramount’. However, having made this high-sounding pronouncement, which came to be known as the Devonshire Declaration, the colonial government carried in with its earlier policies of total exclusion of African leadership from the political processes of the country and of racial discrimination favouring the European settlers.
In 1924, seeing that the money collected by the colonial administration was used to run the system that not only did not benefit the people generally, but was, in fact, used to oppress the very people who were paying these taxes, Desai organised a tax boycott. As a result he was jailed.
The following year Desai was selected to represent the Kenyan Asians in the Legislative Council, much to the displeasure of the colonial administration and settlers. He used this forum tirelessly to draw attention to injustices and discriminatory practices of the colonial authority and to challenge the racism of the European settlers. As the African population lacked a voice in the council, Desai worked closely with the leaders of the newly formed Kikuyu Central Association such as Joseph Kang’ethe, James Beauttah and Jesse Kariuki, and presented their grievances and demands. Faced with the colonial administration’s total refusal to pay heed to the Kenya Asian representatives’ demands, Desai, Jeevanjee, Varma and J. b. Pandya staged a boycott of the council.
Acharya and Desai faced enormous financial problems in publishing the Democrat. Lacking advertising revenue to run it on a commercial basis, the paper depended to a great extent on donations from those who supported its stand. In 1926 the two of them set out on an East African tour to raise money for the paper. Desai fell ill during the trip and in July 1926 died in Bukoba, Tanganyika at the age of 48.
To perpetuate the memory of this Kenyan Asian patriot, the East African Indian Congress raised funds to build a monument, the Desai Memorial Hall which stands on the Tom Mboya Street (formerly Victoria Street) in Nairobi. The building housed a library which, following the principle held dear by Desai, was open to people of all races; it was the first library, and for a long time the only one, in Nairobi to have such an open door policy. During the ‘1930’s, 1940’s and 1950’s the meeting hall in the building was the venue for countless meetings of Nairobi workers. In addition, a street in Nairobi has been named after him, the Desai Road which links Murang’a Road with the Ngara/Park Roads junction.
A voice of Kenya’s National Service programme broadcast on 12 April 1981 had this to say about Desai:
He had the strength and foresight to take a long-term view of the history of Kenya. He was a courageous leader who did not care for his personal interests and comfort in the service of the cause for justice and equality.

1. This number was quoted in the British daily Manchester Guardian of 20 March 1929. The colonial administration and the settler press claimed that 27 were killed and 24 wounded.


Art Library (Kunstbibliothek)
The Art Library is one of the largest specialized libraries for art history and cultural studies in the world. Founded in 1867, it’s home to over 400,000 works including fine-art drawings, photos, posters, advertisements, and a book design collection. It’s also a research institute which aims to gain new perspectives on important themes in art. These interdisciplinary outlooks range from the history of the art trade to the rise and evolution of international art styles and movements to the shared origins of Western and non-European art.
Part of Berlin’s massive Kulturforum, the library is surrounded by a number of cultural complexes. Many visitors combine it with a trip with the Modern Art Museum or the Musical Instrument Museum. Visitors can purchase the Berlin Pass to gain free entry to the library along with 50 other attractions in Berlin.
Things to Know Before You Go
The Art Library is a must-visit for art lovers and graphic designers.
The entire museum is fully wheelchair accessible, including elevators and parking areas.
The Kunstbibliothek also offers an on-site restaurant and museum shop, neither of which require admission tickets.
How to Get There
The Art Library is located at Matthaikirchplatz 6, adjacent to Potsdamer Platz. Visitors can take city bus M48 to the Potsdamer Brucke stop or bus 200 to the Philharmonie stop to access the Kunstbibliothek as well as the Kulturforum. The closest underground stations are U-Potsdamer Platz and U-Mendelssohn-Bartholdy-Park, both about a 10-minute walk from the library.
When to Get There
Visitors generally spend four hours exploring the contents of the Kunstbibliothek. For the most contemplative experience, it’s best to visit the Art Library in the early morning when there are fewer visitors. Note that on Mondays, the library is open for research only.

DR. JohN WARLOW
the C.U.R.E. for life Book Launch
Dr. John Warlow is an experienced Adult Child and Family Psychiatrist, and as the developer of the Christian Wholeness Framework (CWF), is committed to facilitating the development of Christian mental health professionals.
His goal is to have them become more integrated into and assisting the church to become more appropriate and relevant to the needs of the community. His consulting, teaching and supervision skills have benefited clients, practice their faith and counselling professionals, pastors, and churches, both in Australia and internationally.
John has been running a local church small group for a number of years using the steps and shapes. He has a deep Christian faith and seeks to be a follower of Jesus.
His passion is Christian Wholeness; taking the whole gospel to the whole person! John wrote Living Wholeness, which is an introduction to the framework for professional counselors and co-authored Wholly Coping for the everyday person.
Author, Creative, Psychiatrist
Derek & Y: This is just the sort of book that is needed to bring CWF to "people helpers" and the interested reader. Great job! I plan to buy it was soon as it hits the shelves!
Yoshi (Japanese, working in Asia): Very captivating book. Makes complex concepts simple to understand and remember. I really like how you worded it so that non-believers are invited to use and take the principles. I recommended to several of teachers who had attended the CWF Intro trainings. Your personal testimonies are very powerful tool!
I recommend every LWTP students to read your book as well as anyone interested to help others and self in healthy ways . It’s a great review and cleared up so many concepts hearing again from your original and logical perspective. Learning from the founder and seeing how each shapes fit together with the steps was so helpful! Great overview of CWF!
What I appreciate about it is that we get to apply it at home, with friends, the church, and your work places. It’s adoptable and universal! My life is forever changed by introduced to CWF and sharing about the Steps and the Shapes! Now I am learning to live by it with His help! Thank you for demonstrating with your life, John through servant leadership style to reflect Jesus! I cannot wait for others to discover this treasure through your new book!
Barbie: My initial thoughts are how accessible it is, the authentic voice speaking and your great desire to share what you have been working with over the last number of years. It is the sort of material that is great to have on your book shelf so that you can go back and re-read sections.
Philip Lye, Small Group Leader, Elder & Missionary Th D.: The CURE is a masterpiece into God’s divine ways leading the reader into a deeper relational experience with God and fellow man resulting in genuine change. There is something for everyone, from the casual reader to the practitioner. It is a manuscript which you will want to re-read as you seek to put these keys of truth into practice. Dr John Warlow has excelled again. Highly recommended
PS. Church pastor: I love the accessible plain language. I love the story-telling, particularly your story! It helps.
RD Prof of Horticulture: I often wonder why so many Christian decide to write books and when I read a Christian book I always look for something new or inspirational. Thus I am generally a bit sceptical about many Christian books. However the further I read into the CURE, the more God spoke to me and the more I saw it as inspirational. It is not only very valuable from your psychiatric/counselling perspective but the way you have woven the message of the bible and Jesus through the CURE is inspirational.
GH. Chinese counsellor living and working in China. I am the wife of a pastor. 11 years ago, I had the privilege of getting to know John as a supervisor, as a good friend, and most of all, a person whom I deeply respect. His CWF (Christian Wholeness Framework) gave me a “whole perspective” on how a life can receive healing and constantly grow. C.U.R.E helped me better comprehend the struggles that people face in their daily relationships in contemporary Chinese society. Furthermore, C.U.R.E enabled me to become a better counselor, and also enabled others to become better people helpers.
Bex S: It can feel awkward and vulnerable to ask questions to connect and understand, but that these are essential for responding appropriately and for building deeper connections. One must be brave enough to ask the questions without knowing how to answer beforehand, without have preconceived ideas.”
RR: As a person on a journey to integration and God centered transformation falling all over the place as I bumble my way through life, your book is as you say a framework and a solid one at that to continue to resource and help keep you on track.
You have articulated the steps through this book in such a way that its not complicated but flows so that a person who is reading it would not become overwhelmed with the content or find it confusing. As for someone using this book to help others, Pastors, home group leaders and the everyday person it addresses the whole person and the building blocks in the way of shapes and steps is brilliant.
I love how you relate many of the aspects of your writings to your own personal journey. It makes your work so tangible and real to the person who is reading this book.
It is a fantastic tool for EVERYONE and a learning and development resource that can be picked up and put down at anytime and still be able to follow.
AW: Excellent book! It has been an informative and inspiring read and I especially enjoyed how you tied in your personal story. Your theological reflection and practical application is also excellent. The appendices on Tennis, expanding the circles, and the church are also particularly useful You've made this very practical and accessible and I pray it assists many people in deepening understanding of themselves and God's grace and purpose for life.
DA: This is an invaluable book –I loved most of all the explanation of The Shape of the Square and the Shape of the Cross. It was very clear and as I read I felt that for Christians in particular it gave real hope – hope of His unconditional love despite sin; of the normalcy of sin for Christians and how easy to move from right to left and back again; it offered a much easier understanding of Justification, Sanctification, and Repentance. Likewise the pyramid was really well explained, and in terms of leaders, provided much needed clarification.
Joash: Loved reading the CURE! Was really useful, thoughtful and practical.

Tips for Homeschooling Preschoolers
by Margaret Doskey
by Margaret Doskey
#1 Get thee to a parenting class! The most important thing is to raise our children in the “nurture and admonition of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. I highly recommend the materials from Family Ministries- “Child Training Tips” by Reb Bradley comes in book, tapes, or video-terrific resource.
#2 Train him to sit still, quiet and unoccupied. Other words, self-control.
#3 Read aloud, Read aloud, Read aloud! “Honey for a Child’s Heart” by Gladys Hunt. And as an aside, television & video, being a passive medium has been proven to impair language skills, limit it severely!
#4 Talk,, Talk, Talk! Explain what you are doing, tell how God made everything, count, sing, ask questions, use proper English.
#5 Mom & Dad- Pray, Read & Pray! Various homeschool books:
"When You Rise Up" by R.C. Sproul, Jr.
“Home Grown Kids” by Raymond Moore
“Homeschooling, the Right Choice” by Chris Klicka
“ For the Children’s Sake” Susan Schaeffer Macaulay
“ What’s a Daughter to Do?” tape by Doug Phillips of Vision forum
“ Homeschooling with a Meek & Quiet Spirit” by Terri Maxwell
“ Dumbing Us Down; the hidden curriculum behind compulsive education” by John T. Gatto
“ Clergy in the Classroom” by David Noeble
#7 Teach her to read in little bits (5 min.) at a time, knowing the alphabet is not necessary and some say actually causes confusion… Ask, “do you want to take a nap now, or do some reading practice?” “Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons” by Engelmann & Haddox & Bruner
#8 Math, count, observe. Cuisenaire Rods along with the activity cards.
#9 Writing Readiness- Ready Writer workbook
#10 “Doing School” Rod & Staff Preschool workbooks
#11 Memorize, memorize, memorize! Kids this age are sponges (how quick do they memorize commercial jingles?). Put it to music and they will learn it. Scripture tapes (Steve Green), Catechism (Judy Rogers), Science, history, French & Latin vocabulary. Play the same Scripture CD over and over at Bedtime for a month. Record a tape of things you want her to learn (birth date, address, family mantra, etc.), use it as a timer for an activity.

Unlike a lot of similar collections, the quality of writing is consistently solid and highly readable.”

An Inspector Calls
by J.B. Priestley
The action of the play occurs in an English industrial city, where a young girl commits suicide and an eminently respectable British family is subject to a routine inquiry in connection with the death. An inspector calls to interrogate the family, and during the course of his questioning, all members of the group are implicated lightly or deeply in the girl’s undoing.

Hermann Hesse – An Often Overlooked Author Worth Reading
We’re not going to talk about alien abductions, Carlos Castaneda, or the end of the world occurring on the winter solstice in 2012.
Hermann Hesse (1877 – 1962) was a German novelist and poet that lived most of his later life in Switzerland.
Three of his novels I have had a chance to read over the years.
Demian (1919) – a young school boy meets a strange, mysterious classmate and embarks on a journey of self realization.
Siddhartha (1922) – a young man in India seeks for insights as to life’s meaning and purpose. The later movie (made in India, 1972 ) had been on YouTube until recently, but the 3 minute movie trailer (in English) is worth viewing here:
Movies rarely are able to do justice to the books they are based on. But, this movie was pretty good. Perhaps, someone else will upload it in the future.
Steppenwolf (1927) – literally meaning a wolf of the steppes. As I recall, a middle aged man, Harry, who is nearly schizophrenic, and possibly suicidal, has a rather surreal adventure in self discovery. This can also be seen on YouTube (links at bottom), but the book is better than the movie. Trivia: the late 1960s rock band of the same name, took the name of Steppenwolf at the suggestion of their agent or manager as he had recently read the book.
Steppenwolf is a bit long, so it might be better – if you are interested – to sample Hesse by reading Demian and/or Siddhartha. If time is scarce, then Siddhartha would be my first recommendation as its the best of the three all around. Demian is only around 120 pages or so (I seem to recall) and is also a rather enchanting and good read.
Hesse is also known for “The Glass Bead Game” ( also published under the title “Magister Ludi”) 1943.
He was awarded the Nobel prize for Literature in 1946.
So, if your reading list for this summer, or for this year, is not too long, you might consider adding one or more of these titles to it. Most big city libraries will have some of Hesse’s works. As the three titles above were printed in mass market paperback form in the 1960s and 1970s, many used bookstores will have copies of one or more of them. And, there is always Amazon, and other online booksellers.
Today, I added the blog essay category “Great books and authors”. From time to time, a new essay dealing with a good book and/or great author will be posted there.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSAO_D0o8N4 – part 1 (of 14) is just credits Steppenwolf

While Costa Rica reigned supreme in both the male and female competitions, all the athletes are champions of their respective countries and displayed a beauty and grace unmatched on the sand courts of Central America.
Here is a photographic record captured by award winning photographer Tony Rath of the grace of movement; the intensity of emotion; the spirit of sportsmanship; and the strength, beauty and grace of the athletes in motion.

‘Surfin’ Gaza’ is a string of tales from the people who lived them. People who have served in Gaza with the United Nations as volunteers, professionals, peacekeepers or unarmed military observers.
The storytellers are anonymous, but tell their stories in a first person perspective to give their accounts without considerations towards objectivity or political correctness. Their stories are told as they remember them. Their stories are not edited to propagate any particular bias.
Their accounts follow an overall progressive timeline, but their stories are not intended to build a continuous plot. The different storytellers give their personal accounts of events, encounters, and memories that together seek to shape a collective recollection of the conflict in Gaza, and the impact their experiences have had on the people involved.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has had great implications for the people in Gaza since the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. Gaza has seen the influx of Palestinian refugees since that time and were boosted during later conflicts.
However, the legacy of Gaza is a part of the history of the Holy Land and a narrative that stretches across thousands of years. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is merely the latest chapter in this storyline that extends across the millennia.
Nevertheless conflicts always invoke suffering on both sides. The current conflict still causes tremendous suffering. It is the aspiration of ‘Surfin’ Gaza’ to shed light on this suffering and play a part in making people stop and think.
‘Surfin’ Gaza’ is a living documentary. Stories will be added as they are written. If you have a tale from Gaza I will be very happy to include your personal account.

Stories for South Asian Super Girls
Bringing together illustrious entertainers, pioneering business leaders and a host of other, equally remarkable yet less well-known figures, Stories for South Asian Supergirls seeks to redress the imbalance for young girls of colour by empowering them to break new ground for themselves and to inspire others in the process.
Illustrated with striking portraits by ten international South Asian female artists, we were asked to design the cover, layout and art direct the illustrations of this ground-breaking book, whilst contributing a few illustrations of our own.
This beautifully illustrated collection of 50 biographies showcases a huge range of historical and modern-day South Asian women’s stories and achievements. In short, they are female powerhouses. Our task was to first create a cover that would capture their energy and strength and this came in the form of a lightning bolt – the true symbol of a superheroine. We used the bolt to create a standout and impactful design that shouts ‘Hey! I’m right here’ on the shelf all the whilst steering clear of typical and cliched South Asian styles.
Along with the stories themselves, the design intends to captivate and excite using an engaging contents page and timeline to contextualise the women and help the audience relate to them more. Through bold colour, expressionate typography and energetic graphic elements we’ve created a book that’s thrilling to pick up and flick through while all-inclusive to all.
Full of the power, resilience and ingenuity of South Asian women, this book also profiles its 10 talented illustrators in their own special section, showing the importance of art in illustrated books and inspiring all children to know that this is a career open to them too.
The book enjoyed a warm and highly anticipated welcome at launch across the UK, Canada, the US and India. Being featured on the BBC, Sky News, The Times and a host of other media outlets, it stands to make a real positive impact for South Asian girls across the world.

Review by Maurice A. Williams....
I got a lot out of this book. The author presents his perception of the spiritual nature we all share, and he expresses it in a different way, a more down-to-earth way than a theologian would. I easily understood what the author is saying, and I recall having similar glimpses into my own spiritual self like the author did.
This book contains a series of short essays where the author describes his growing awareness of his spiritual nature almost as if he discovered it through his own experience, yet his understanding of his spirituality is thoroughly Christian. He concludes that Christ is Lord and Savior. His book ends with a prayer he composed for Good Friday (prayer). I found the prayer beautiful and moving.
How refreshing not to be immersed once again into New Age mentality as so many modern books on spirituality do today. Here is a book I easily understood, I enjoyed it, and I am certain to profit from it. This book would make good reading for home discussion groups.
Review by Miguel C. ...
Good information, enjoyed reading, a lot of thought provoking ideas. Actual information for the beginning to a practical user. Certain it will help everyone in one way or another.
Review by James Abraham...
“Triune” is a well-written account of one man’s spirituality. It sets out clearly why the author believes what he believes, makes allowances for those who may not share the author’s beliefs, then offers skeptics and believers alike the comfort of knowing that, through faith, peace is at hand for all.


Bam is a collection of three supernatural short stories that will make your eyes twitch and your nose-hairs stand on end.

The captain of a futuristic station is confronted by a situation that tests her training, and values, to the limit. Her career and sanity are on the line, and she just may lose them both.
One of the passengers on this flight isn't what he appears. He is exposed in a harrowing and explosive encounter.

For the first time in its 6 year history, Twitter is offering users the chance to download their entire archived tweet history in an html file.
Twitter’s 500 million users will be able to browse through past tweets much more efficiently than on Twitter’s own site which only provides limited access to users tweet history.
The new archive is to contain information such as where and when the tweets were made, however although as the archive only contains your own personal tweets their relevance may be limited.
Twitter has grown from its humble beginnings to become one of the most frequently used social media sites. Hence why many are confused as to how effective and how frequent this archive service will be.
With users posting millions of tweets a day, it is assumed that the archive will be severely outdated if it is updated every month. However, the move is an important one in social media history.
Despite this being the first archive offered by Twitter, the US Library of Congress has been known to be documenting all tweets over the last few years in files that cannot be publicly accessed electronically.

Congratulations on putting it all down!"

After the last book of the series has been published seven years ago, J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter has become one of the best-sold young adult fantasy books of all times. This magic realm doesn’t introduce only wizards with powerful wands, but also elements that exist nowhere other than in Rowling’s bestseller books. There are moving staircases, flying broomsticks, magic potions, evil wizards, and even short romantic moments that allow the reader to sink deeper into this fictive yet absolutely fantastic universe created by the author.
Set into an alternative timeline, Harry Potter is the story of a wizard who doesn’t even know he’s a wizard until strange happenings start occurring. When he receives an official invitation to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, his life suffers an amazing change – he makes new friends, starts learning to do magic, and discovers new ways of fighting evil forces, with the dark, power-obsessed Lord Voldemort as his main enemy. Of course, his journey isn’t a simple, to-the-point one. In the first novel of the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Harry gets a wand that’s the twin of Voldemorts’, purchases all materials needed for becoming a student at Hogwarts, and gets a new pet – Hedwig the white owl. In the second novel, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry has to face a basilisk, and fight Voldemort, who has taken his teenage form of Tom Riddle in an attempt to kill him.
It’s needless to mention that, starting with the third book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry finally becomes a grownup, and he eventually learns about Sirius Black, deemed to be a dangerous criminal when he was, in fact, Harry’s godfather. Not only does he learn more about his parents, but he also acquires new spells, and participates in Quidditch games as well. As for the fourth novel, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry takes part in the Triwizard Tournament, competing against two of the most influential magic schools, Beauxbatons Academy, and Durmstrang Institute. The following three books are probably the most interesting since they focus on saving the world from Voldemort. More and more troubles show up for our hero, though, as he needs to face a new headmaster instead of the wise Albus Dumbledore, fight Voldemort’s faithful servants, and even start looking for and destroying the horcruxes, those objects that house Voldemort’s soul in order to successfully kill him once and for all.
The plot of the novels is outstanding, featuring characters that have unique and intriguing personalities, with roles that matter more or less to how Harry needs to act to fight the Dark Lord. Rowling made the whole series look extremely real by adding elements that are based on real-life witchcraft, having been deemed to promote Wicca, a modern, pagan religion. To top that off, Rowling herself engaged in very extensive research on occult beliefs, mythology, and folklore in order to create material for her books.
From the first novel and right to the last, the story gets more and more complex in a step-by-step, gradually unfolding manner that allows the character to learn more about the moment when he was born, as well as how to defeat the Dark Lord. The number of spells created by Rowling is huge, and while some can help wizards defend themselves (Expelliarmus), others can open doors (Alohomora), inflict pain (Crucio), conjure a patronus (Expecto Patronus), make someone obey to commands (Imperio), or even kill someone (Avada Kedavra).
Many of the potions turn out to have hilarious effects on the drinkers – and a good example is the babbling potion, which makes the drinker speak nonsense. It’s no doubt that children from all over the world wish to become wizards after reading the Harry Potter series, as the writing style is friendly, inviting, and subtly pursues the reader to keep reading. As a matter of fact, the Harry Potter audiobooks have become very popular as well, especially for those children who are unable to read properly yet, or for those who read the novels once, and would like to remember about them.
