Pioneering Spirit is true-life story about transformation, self-development and healing, showing how our past may hold the key to understanding and healing our present day life experiences. It began as a memoir of the author’s mother, Joan Brownrigg, a gifted and highly respected natural healer who asked her to write her life story. Writing about her parents and grandparents, the author connected with her pioneering ancestors who had left England, Scotland and Ireland to migrate to New Zealand and Argentina at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries. She uncovered generational patterns and emotional trauma of separation and heartbreak from leaving their homelands and became aware these were affecting her own life. Inspired by her mother’s healing ability, she developed her gift as a healer and trained in Colour and Energy Healing which took her on an inner journey to release the emotional wounds of her past and help heal the ancestral timeline.

One long winter night and the Cairo neighborhood of Kit Kat stands at a crossroads. Poised like herons fishing on the banks of the Nile, the characters of this novel wait and watch as opportunities swim by past their reach. Some gaze on as their local café is stolen before their eyes. One studies how the nouveaux riches of the Open Door Policy make their money, while others try their own hand at swindle. Still others read the empty rhetoric of state-run newspapers and wonder what it all means. It is long past midnight; some walk, some sit and smoke, and all are trading stories. A young artist waits by himself for a girl, a drink, or a revolution. All are waiting for what the next day might bring. Set on the eve of the January 1977 "bread riots" against IMF austerity programs and privatization that nearly brought down President Anwar Sadat, The Heron catches Egypt in the mid-stream of its modern history. Since it first appeared in 1984, Ibrahim Aslan's The Heron has been a classic of modern Arabic literature. It has been translated into a number of European languages and adapted as the successful film Kit Kat.
