"Spark Joy" comes with a nicely illustrated 57 page. Kondo's method works, so go with it - even if it means performing a Japanese purifying rite so you're okay with letting some stuffed animals go. All those classes in psychology I've taken give me a complex explanation for why what Kondo suggests works, but there's no reason to end up in psychoanalysis on the way to decluttering. In my first listen of the first book, I mentally made fun of improperly hung unused blouses feeling abandoned, and laughed at thanking worn tennis shoes for their hard work - until I set aside skepticism and tidied my clothes. Kondo anthropomorphizes clothes, books and even pots and pans. "Spark Joy" isn't gong to make a lot of sense without reading/listening to "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" first. That is, if clothes can feel proud - and In Kondo's world, they do. I marched Dad to my dresser and displayed my own carefully folded clothes, arrayed by color, standing proudly in the KonMari way. My dad watched, shaking his head in wonderment, as the hosts folded t-shirts, making them stand up vertically on their own. Marie Kondo was making her first guest appearance on an American morning show, introducing "Spark Joy" (2016), the follow up to "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" (2011, Japanese 2014, English). The other morning, my elderly father and I were watching 'Good Morning America'. Yun Ling agrees and discovers more than horticultural finesse. Instead he suggests that she stays, as his apprentice, learning the art in order to become her own designer. Ling's sister perished but the dream of a memorial garden drives her on. When life became difficult during interment, the sisters discussed and visualised the finished result to keep them hanging on. For, whilst in the camp, she promised her sister a Japanese garden. As the sole survivor of a World War II Japanese slave labour camp, Yun Ling has many reasons to hate the Japanese but some things are stronger than hatred. Malay Chinese Teoh Yun Ling travels to the Cameron Highlands of Malaya to meet the legendary Japanese garden designer and expert, Nakamura Aritomo. She is apprenticed to the famous Japanese garden expert Nakamuro Aritomo but, against a background of Malayan Communists destroying all vestiges of normal life, Yun Ling has to come to terms with more than horticulture. Summary: Teoh Yun Ling survives a Japanese WWII slave camp with one enveloping desire – to build a Japanese garden as a memorial for her late sister.

High-Risk Homosexual is a humorous and emotive memoir of Gomez's coming of age into his identity: gay, femme, and Latinx, which comes with a lot of hoops to jump through between culture clashes and self-discovery.

While on honeymoon in Italy in 1833, the photographic pioneer William Fox Talbot used a camera lucida as a sketching aid. The term " camera lucida" ( Latin "well-lit room" as opposed to camera obscura "dark room") is Wollaston's. By the 19th century, Kepler's description had fallen into oblivion, so Wollaston's claim was never challenged. The basic optics were described 200 years earlier by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler in his Dioptrice (1611), but there is no evidence he or his contemporaries constructed a working camera lucida. The camera lucida was patented in 1806 by the English chemist William Hyde Wollaston. This allows the artist to duplicate key points of the scene on the drawing surface, thus aiding in the accurate rendering of perspective. The artist sees both scene and drawing surface simultaneously, as in a photographic double exposure. The camera lucida projects an optical superimposition of the subject being viewed, onto the surface upon which the artist is drawing. A camera lucida is an optical device used as a drawing aid by artists and microscopists. It is always my desire to entertain children and encourage them to think about and explore their world, and the worlds beyond, embrace creativity, and love learning for the duration of their life. My children, family and friends are a great inspiration to me, and the support of my readers is a tremendous honor. For me it is a feeling only rekindled when I am creating books, stories and poetry. I write for children because all of these steps started there, in childhood, and that sense of wonder, keen curiosity, and the ability to see things much kinder and more magical than they actually were, fades as time passes and years and experience claim your naivety. Some moments are sweet, some scary, some a blur gone too fast and forever missed. My life is a series of lessons and moments that see me to the next lessons and moments.
