We therefore wrote The Compass Rose with its eight cardinal points, to be the touchstones for you to explore ways to claim (or reclaim) your innate creativity.This Workbook and Reflective Journal is a constellation of what we have come to learn from our extensive work exploring creativity within our programmes, retreats, and teaching. We see them as being the key routes for starting, growing, or sustaining a vibrant creative practice, whatever your context and wherever you are on your journey. This is your invitation to embrace and explore your creativity in ways that we hope that will liberate, delight and resource you.We are Elaine Patterson and Karyn Prentice and together we are the international award winning PattersonPrenticeDesigns. We are a unique design partnership bringing our shared love of creativity - and the powers of creative reflection - to the world.

The Quiet Moon
The ancient Celts lived by and worshipped the moon. While modern, digital life is often at odds with nature - rubbing against it rather than working in harmony with it - is there something to be said for embracing this ancient way of being and reconnecting to the moon's natural calendar?*January's Quiet Moon reflects an air of melancholy, illuminating a midwinter of quiet menace; it was the time of the Dark Days for the ancient Celts, when the natural world balanced on a knife edge. By May, the Bright Moon brings happiness as time slows, mayflies cloud and elderflowers cascade. Nature approaches her peak during a summer of short nights and bright days - this was when the ancient Celts claimed their wives and celebrated Lugnasad. With the descent into winter comes the sadness of December's Cold Moon. Trees stand bare and creatures shiver their way to shelter as the Dark Days creep in once more and the cycle restarts.In The Quiet Moon, Kevin Parr discovers that a year of moons has much to teach us about how to live in the world that surrounds us - and how being more in tune to the rhythms of nature, even in the cold and dark, can help ease the suffering mind.

Writing for Media and Monetising It
The first hint that my work on content monetisation was only just starting was a meeting with Dr Abiodun Adeniyi, a professor of Mass Communication at Baze University, Abuja. After reading the manuscript, he invited me to his office. As he scanned the script again on his laptop while we chatted, he said something that stuck with me: I won't be surprised if you produced a sequel sooner than later. I wasn't sure what he was talking about. But this workbook has vindicated him. The main book was received with extraordinary enthusiasm, and I started this sequel two months after Writing for Media and Monetising It. It's a natural companion. If you felt the need for a deeper dive into subjects such as Style, AI, Tool-kit, use case or Money, this how book meets that need. I have not only addressed the how issue in this book, but I have also provided more examples and exercises for your benefit. The look-and-feel of the inside pages is also more compelling, with more graphics for easier use and engagement. If this workbook creates an appetite in the reader for the main book, it might be worth the bargain to indulge that temptation, especially on a subject so vital to our life, work and play today.

Life Lessons From 7 Miles High
Ever since the dawn of time, humans have marveled at the miracle of flight. What was once a pipe dream is now a regular occurrence as over 10 Million people around the world board an aircraft each day and fly somewhere. It is easy to take for granted how easy it is to traverse our planet with ease and comfort. Once upon a time it would have been a lifelong event to travel across a country let alone leaping across an entire ocean at will.As a professional Pilot, I have had the honor of seeing the world from a vantage point that has brought perspective about this journey we call life. With over 30,000 hours or almost 3 1/2 years on a flight deck, I have witnessed some of the most beautiful sights anyone could imagine. Flying has brought me a sense of gratitude of the world we live in and the lessons it has taught me about life. I've always chuckled at the one thing that gets a majority of the attention from passengers. It's the landing. Now don't get me wrong, the landing is definitely an important part of a flight but it's not all about the landing. We have all experienced those landings that are well let's just say, solid. Usually they are smooth as silk. When you make a good landing passengers are usually very complimentary but if you pound one on the pavement, be prepared to hear something like, "What was that?" Or, "You must be a Navy Pilot. It's similar to our life's journey, usually no turbulence and our landings at the end of each day are fairly smooth. However, we all know that life can dish out some of those bad weather days and on occasion some solid landings at times. Even those emergencies that arise that we have to deal with like finances, health, families and such. Life however is a beautiful flight from pre-flight to the final landing and the journeys in between. The landing is the final act, the finale after the culmination of endless pre-flight preparation, planning and executing for an ultimate safe flight. Every flight we do, we have to know which direction we're going, what's our destination. When we fly, we don't just put it on auto-pilot and fly off into the sunset hoping for the best. As we fly this adventure through life, we need to have a destination, a direction, a moral compass. Having a compass in life is key to success as we must constantly strive to maintain a moral compass, a direction of what is right and wrong, always attempting to make that great landing at the end. Setting goals and having a plan will allow us to have success. Aviation has taught me to never give up. When I was in College I went to the Air Force recruiter to see about being a fight pilot. My dream was squashed immediately when they found out I wore contact lenses. Fast forward to later in my career and there I was as an Aerial Coordinator, briefing with the Blue Angels as I prepared to fly formation with them to film a movie called, "Lady And Gentlemen, The Blue Angels". I later went on to fly in major motion pictures as well as film the Thunderbirds and Canadian Snowbirds. Don't ever give up.There are almost 8 Billion people on Earth and each one of us has a unique gift. Aviation has shown me that we should all reach deep inside ourselves and find those gifts and do something good with them. Don't ever let anyone stop you from achieving your dreams and always strive to "Reach For The Sky", so when you make your final landing you can always look back and say, "I Lived".

Our Dying, Our Death, Our Grief
Death is a clear-cut objective moment, but the process of dying and the choices we make for our own death and others is a wholly different subject.Not becoming educated on your ability to influence your dying process is leaving that potentially long helpless period to fate. Raw and informative, this book explores the truth and asserts your right to knowledge and your right to say "No" to medical procedures that ultimately only prolong suffering once imminent and inevitable death arrives.What can be done to decrease unnecessary suffering before inevitable death? This suffering is almost always influenced by a fear or lack of acceptance of death. For the most part the healthcare field cannot stop this pain and suffering due to many influences beyond its control, unless you know how to protect yourself. Ultimately, it is up to the patient or their medical guardian to ensure a peaceful and dignified death.It is obvious Vincent cares deeply about your awareness, knowledge, and choices, as well as your control of your body and your own health care. He cares to see your fears of this often dark and taboo subject decreased and hopefully alleviated. His professional and personal caring perspectives come from twenty-one years of bedside emergency and intensive care nursing in teaching hospitals, followed by fourteen more years of advocating for both the dying and the living to pilot their own health care. He takes a look at an otherwise bitterly-avoided subject that we all must face and turns it into a highly informative, easy, and at times even funny to read.There is a sweet icing on this normally hard-to-stomach cake known as dying, death, and grief: the author also has some great input on how not only to stay alive longer, but to feel more alive.
