Karapu Lit: Te Whatunga Wahine me te Karapu Pukapuka o BeCommunity
Marietta, Georgia
He pānui rātou... he haereere rātou... he kōrero, he whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro. Tūtaki ki tēnei rōpū hihiri nō Marietta Georgia—BeCommunity Women's Network and Book Club.
E hia ōu mema?
Neke atu i te 100 ā mātou tāngata, ā, tata ki te 20 pea e tae mai ana ki te nuinga o ngā hui.
Nōnahea koe i tīmata ai... ā, i pēhea?
Nā tō mātou kaiwhakaū, nā Debra, i whakatū te karapu i te tau 2008. He kaipānui pukapuka pai a Debra, he hōia tawhito hoki, ā, he maha āna mahi nekeneke haere. I roto i ngā tau - me te ao katoa - kua waihangahia e ia ētahi rōpū pukapuka. Ko mātou tāna pukapuka hou!
He aha te mea kei muri i te ingoa o te rōpū?
He takaro kupu tēnei. Nā te whaea o Debra ia i akiaki kia tapaina te karapu i tōna ingoa i whakatūria ai, arā, ko te Karapu Pukapuka a Debra.
Engari i tangohia e Debra te whakaaro o te "pī honi," koinei te tikanga o te ingoa "Debra".
I whakarapopototia e ia te kupu "be" kia "be"—nō reira ka noho mātou ko "BeCommunity", e tohu ana ehara i te mea ko tā Debra anake engari ko ō mātou hiahia katoa kia "WAE atu" ki tētahi hapori.
He kōrero pai! Nō reira, kōrero mai ki a mātou i tāu i pānui ai.

He tino pai ki a koe ngā mea katoa?
♦ Te Toi Reihi i te Ua nā Garth Stein—ahakoa he pouri ētahi wāhanga, he tino kanapa, he tino kata hoki te ariā o tētahi kurī hei kaikorero, e whakamārama ana i tōna ao.
♦ Kotiro Rua Tekau nā Sophie Kinsella—he pukapuka mō te ngākau harikoa e pā ana ki tētahi kiripuaki hītori e puta mai ana i te wā o nāianei hei āwhina i tētahi uri kia pārekareka ki tōna ao.
♦ Ataahua: Te Mana o te Introverts nā Susan Cain—te whanaungatanga o te hunga whakama ki te ao, me te whai wāhi nui o ā rātou momo tirohanga ki te ao.
♦ He Hikoi i te Ngahere ♥ nā Bill Bryson—te pukapuka tuatahi i pānuihia e mātou hei rōpū. I tino pai mātou ki te pūrākau e rua ngā tāne e tīmata ana i tētahi haerenga roa, uaua hoki, ā, ahakoa ō rāua āhua rerekē, ka mutu ka koa rāua tetahi ki tetahi, ka maioha tetahi ki tetahi.
Ā, me pēhea ngā kōrerorero pai?
♦ Ko te Āwhina nā Kathryn Stockett—he mihi ki ngā wāhine i mahi i roto i ngā mahi ā-whare. Nā te mea he wāhine Pākehā me Āwherika-Amerika tō mātou rōpū, i taea e mātou katoa te whakapuaki i ō mātou mātauranga me ngā wheako mai i ō mātou whānau hei whakarei ake i te kōrero.
♦ Hotera kei te kokonga o te kawa me te reka ♥ nā Jamie Ford—he kaupapa kāore i te mōhiotia e te nuinga o tātou. I ako mātou i te mamae o ngā Hapanihi-Amerika i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao: ko ō rātou kare ā-roto o te nekehanga i a rātou e mauheretia ana i roto i ngā puni.
♦ Te Ahorangi me te Tangata Porangi ♥ nā Simon Winchester—ngā pūtake o te Oxford English Dictionary. I pai mātou ki te ako me pēhea te whakakotahitanga o ngā momo hinengaro rerekē hei waihanga i tēnei rauemi whai hua.
♦ Te Maramatanga i waenganui i nga Moana nā ML Stedman—i akiakihia ngā kiripuaki ki te aro atu ki ngā whakataunga matatika uaua, ā, i taea e mātou te whakanoho i a mātou anō ki roto i ō rātou āhuatanga, me te whakaaroaro he aha mātou ka mahi ai, ka kore ai rānei, i aua kōwhiringa anō.
♦ Te Whare Karaihe nā Jeannette Walls—he tirohanga ki te hinengaro tangata. E tūhuratia ana e te pukapuka te take o te kaupapa auaha me te kore kāinga hei kōwhiringa pea.
Kōrero mai mō āu hui me te āhua o tāu whiriwhiri i āu pukapuka.
Ka tūtaki mātou i te Tūrei tuarua o ia marama mai i te 7:00 ki te 8:30 i te pō ki Daily Grind, he whare kawhe o te rohe. Ka whakaroahia e mātou ngā hui ki te haora me te hawhe.
Ka tīmata tā mātou tau pukapuka mai i Oketopa ki Hepetema e whai ake nei, ā, i ia Oketopa ka kawea mai e ngā mema ā rātou whakaaro pukapuka. Ka tukuna atu e mātou ki roto i te pōtae, kātahi ka tohua kia 12 ngā taitara mō te tau e haere ake nei.
Ā, me pēhea ngā ture o te karapu?
He maha ā mātou.
1. mema—Ki te kore koe e mahi mō te tau kotahi, ka tangohia koe i te rārangi mema. Engari ka taea e koe te whakauru anō ina taea e tō wātaka
2. Kōwhiringa Pukapuka—Me tae atu koe ki te kura i te iti rawa e ono ngā wā i roto i te tau kua hipa kia āhei ai koe ki te whakaaro i tētahi pukapuka mō te tau e tū mai nei.
3. Pukapuka—E 500 whārangi noa iho ā mātou pukapuka. Ka pānui mātou i ngā pakiwaitara, i ngā kōrero pono, i ngā kōrero koiora, ā, e pai ana mātou ki ngā kōrero e whakahihiko ana i a mātou.
4. Matapaki—He hiahia nui tō mātou ki ngā whakaaro o ētahi atu, nō reira ka whakarongo mātou, ka whakautu atu me te whakaute. Ka tautohetohe mātou i ngā whakaaro—kaua ki te takitahi. Ka manaaki mātou i ngā whakaaro rerekē, nō reira ka ngana mātou kia kaua e whakararuraru—ahakoa he pai ki a mātou te kata!
Kei te whai wāhi koe ki ētahi mahi motuhake a te karapu?
He maha ā mātou mahi i roto i te karapu: mai i ngā tina kōwhiri me te whakawhiti pukapuka ki ngā kākahu e pā ana ki ngā pukapuka, ngā kēmu pātaitai, me ngā kiriata.
E whakaatu ana ō whakaahua i ētahi haerenga rōpū.
Ko te haereere tētahi o ā mātou mahi tino pai. Ehara i te mea ko ngā whare taonga o Carson McCullers me Scott Fitzgerald anake ngā mea kua tae atu mātou (tirohia ngā whakaahua), engari kua toro atu hoki mātou ki te "Whare Ma Ma" a FDR i Warm Springs, Georgia.
I muri i te pānui i ngā pukapuka a Jon Meacham Raiona o Amerika mō Andrew Jackson, i toro atu mātou ki te Pae Tūturu o New Echota i Calhoun, Georgia. I tētahi atu wā, i haere mātou ki Savannah ki te toro atu ki te Mercer House, te wāhi i hangaia ai ngā taonga tuku iho a John Berendt. I waenganui po i te kari o te pai me te kino.
Ka haere hoki koe ki ngā whakaari me ngā kiriata.
Ae, he pai ki a mātou te mātakitaki i ngā whakaari ora me ngā kiriata e ahu mai ana i ngā pukapuka. Kotahi te whakaari—Te Tākaro o te Karapu Pukapuka nā Karen Zacarias—he mea tino hira. He tirohanga whakakatakata ki ngā uauatanga o te noho ki tētahi karapu pukapuka!
Nā, he aha te mea whakamutunga mō BeCommunity e hiahia ana koe ki te kōrero mai ki a mātou?
He hunga aroha mātou ki ngā pukapuka whakahirahira, ki ngā kiriata whakamīharo, ki te ako i ngā mea hou, me te whakawhānui ake i te porowhita o ō mātou hoa. Kei te rapu tonu mātou ki te whakapuaki i ō mātou tirohanga whaiaro me te whakawhānui ake i ō mātou tirohanga.
Heoi anō, he mea whakahīhī ki a mātou te whakarato i tētahi wāhi haumaru hei mahi i ēnei mea katoa.
