KEEPING MY PACK LANE WHITT Copyright © 2016 Lane Whitt All Rights Reserved All Rights Reserved. To be honest, I’m not entirely settled on my Enneagram number. The way we take in information has a huge impact on the way we see the world, and the Enneagram provides a framework for understanding this, as well as a new vocabulary for expressing ourselves, for living alongside others, and for delighting in the mystery of our individuality. If I join my sad friend in her place of sadness and mirror the entire range of her emotions, I am probably a 4.If I’m motivated by a desire to comfort and to create a safe space for that friend, I am likely a 2.If I call because I see myself as a champion of the sad and despondent, I may be an 8.So, for example, if I believe that a friend is feeling sad, I may reach out to her with a phone call for various reasons: It’s important to note that with the Enneagram, motivation determines type. Here’s a summary of all nine types and connections: In The Road Back to You, Ian Cron and Suzanne Stabile provide a clear, humorous, and sensitive road map for the journey of self-discovery that happens while studying the Enneagram. Named for a nine-sided polygon, the Enneagram distinguishes and describes nine facets of the human personality, nine different ways of being, nine unique manifestations of the image of God on this planet. I googled the term the first time I heard it, not even sure how to pronounce it. She is married to fellow writer and musician, Matt McMann, and they have two adult children. Will their untrained abilities be enough to save the dragons-and themselves-when they come face-to-face with the Revinir? Seeking a chance to right their wrong and escape their brother’s wrath, Thisbe, Fifer, and their friend Seth sneak away to rescue the dragons from grave peril. The threat is soon forgotten, though, when Hux, the ice blue dragon, comes to Artimé bearing the horrible news that his siblings have been enslaved by the notoriously evil Revinir, ruler of the dragon land. But when they accidentally use their magic in the jungle of Artimé to strike down a beloved creature, Alex is furious, and threatens to lock them away until they can learn to control their power. They’re naturally more gifted than even their brother, Alex, the head mage of Artimé, could hope to be. Identical twins Fifer and Thisbe Stowe have amazing yet uncontrollable magical abilities. Ten years after Alex and Aaron Stowe brought peace to Quill and Artimé, their younger twin sisters journey beyond the islands in this New York Times bestselling first novel of a new sequel series to The Unwanteds, which Kirkus Reviews called “ The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter.” Unexpected dangers and strange foes pop up at every turn, and a little pixie named Tinker Bell seems less than willing to help.īut when Captain Hook reveals some rather permanent and evil plans for Never Land, it’s up to the two of them to save Peter Pan-and his world. But Never Land isn’t quite the place she imagined it would be. So when an opportunity to travel to Never Land via pirate ship presents itself, Wendy makes a deal with the devil. After nearly meeting her hero, Peter Pan, four years earlier, she still holds on to the childhood hope that his magical home truly exists. Wendy’s only real escape is in writing down tales of Never Land. The doldrums of an empty house after her brothers have gone to school, the dull parties where everyone thinks she talks too much, and the fact that her parents have decided to send her away to Ireland as a governess-it all makes her wish things could be different. Sixteen-year-old Wendy Darling’s life is not what she imagined it would be. What if Wendy first traveled to Neverland… with Captain Hook? However, Evelyn Hugo wasn’t Reid’s debut novel, and her backlist is a very different vibe from her later books - although I’d argue they’re equally as compelling. Malibu Rising is set in Malibu, California and features the children of a minor character in The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, singer Mick Riva. Since those books have exploded in popularity, she’s also released Malibu Rising and Carrie Soto is Back. Taylor Jenkins Reid is best known for Daisy Jones and the Six, which recently was adapted into a TV series on Amazon Prime, and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, a BookTok sensation. Reid has an almost supernatural ability to craft stories that make readers want to keep turning the pages, and her characters are deeply relatable, whether they’re normal women facing major life upheavals or unbelievably famous rockers. Taylor Jenkins Reid has dominated bestseller lists and BookTok for a few years now, and for very good reason: her books are juicy stories of Hollywood, the rich and famous, and every day women going through impossible situations. It's a clever way to get revenge: help everyone's just deserts to work themselves out, as fate is supposed to do.īut it didn't work for me. I see what Dumas's idea was: the Count takes it upon himself to embody tragic fate or karma, instigating convoluted plots to reveal the skeletons in his enemies' closets and detonate the landmines laid years before and waiting to explode their comfortable lives. He is no longer so much a human being as a demigod, able to discover every secret, spend any amount, and manipulate any person to his own hidden ends. We find him, years later, transformed into the Count, a sort of avenging angel: part Batman, part Robin Hood, part cosmopolitan billionaire. The character of Edmond, his story, his personality go out the window. It turns out the novel changes suddenly and violently. With hundreds of pages still to go, I was wondering though why it would take so many to tell the tale of his revenge. The first quarter had me hooked on Edmond's story of malicious prosecution, imprisonment, escape, and discovery of a treasure. Stop worrying about scale and just use a relational database'. Sometimes, when discussing scalable data systems, people make comments along the lines of, 'You’re not Google or Amazon. If any of the following are true for you, you’ll find this book valuable: Your choice of programming language or framework makes no difference for this book. A general understanding of common network protocols like TCP and HTTP is helpful. Any non-relational databases and other data-related tools you know are a bonus, but not required. You should have some experience building web-based applications or network services, and you should be familiar with relational databases and SQL. But even if you have no choice over your tools, this book will help you better understand their strengths and weaknesses. It is especially relevant if you need to make decisions about the architecture of the systems you work on-for example, if you need to choose tools for solving a given problem and figure out how best to apply them. This book is for software engineers, software architects, and technical managers who love to code. If you develop applications that have some kind of server/backend for storing or processing data, and your applications use the internet (e.g., web applications, mobile apps, or internet-connected sensors), then this book is for you.
