I have been working on some personal and career goals for a while now with varying-and I mean VARYING-levels of success, focus, and motivation. I've been thinking a lot about goals and how to achieve them, especially the difficult ones. It's asking for answers, but it's not cheating. I don't know a single professional who hasn't asked a colleague to be a second set of eyes on a high-stakes communication. It's about building on real-life actions and experiences by actually DOING the thing. One thing I love about experiential and competency-based learning is that it's not about rote memorization to help you pass a test and move on. She responded with "now I feel like high school students looking up the answers to online tests on Quizlet just so they can pass." Instead, after a climate disaster alters the course of history around the world, advanced civilizations develop over centuries, fueled by Indigenous knowledge, culture and determination and powered by the mysterious Adanadi that arrived in the wake of the disaster.I have a good friend and former coworker who asked for my help writing a business communication assignment for her degree for a manufacturing simulation, and because I had about 8 months of project management experience in a manufacturing facility (a random pivot in my career), I had some insight I could offer her that helped her out. And when a strange, passionate young woman shows up with stories of a dark cult and asking for help, there's nothing that can stop it from bursting into flames.Hemlock & Sage is the first novel set in the world of Coyote & Crow, an alternate history science fantasy where colonization of the Americas never happened. When the ceremony does not go as planned for either of them, their worlds begin to spark and smoke. Tusika's family has power and a long line of Abilities-and the expectations that come with that. Niya comes from a modest background and her family has never received special Abilities from the Adanadi. Best friends with a bond that goes beyond sisterhood, the two young women have chosen to undergo the ceremony together.But each of them brings with them their own secrets and burdens. But Niya and Tusika are not your average citizens of Cahokia.
For most, it is a ceremony focused on that single individual, surrounded by family and loved ones. It binds the recipient to their chosen Path animal and, in some cases, bestows upon them a supernatural gift. In Makasing, the Adanadi ceremony is a nearly universal rite of passage into adulthood.
