About Shoshana Kobrin
From an early age, I loved reading and writing. My future awaited me in the power of words, and I went for a Master’s degree in literature at the University of South Africa. Concern about interracial dynamics during apartheid and a need to find out more about the human condition led to a Master’s degree in psychology at John. F. Kennedy University when I arrived in California. I became a psychotherapist, a university professor and facilitated workshops and retreats professionally and in the community.
Then, I moved from psychotherapy to my first love - literature - and wrote a how-to journaling guide. Four self-help books and collections of short stories and poetry followed. A how-to book on memoir writing was next. At the same time, I enjoyed the fulfilling experience of teaching creative writing to adults.After I left my psychotherapy practice, I became a life coach, using my knowledge as a therapist in conjunction with meditation, visualization, writing, and art therapy. As a Reiki Master, I include Reiki energy healing.After using Tarot for myself for years, I started giving sessions to friends and presenting Tarot workshops. This has now become another way I can help others relish their time upon our earth.

A Tempo: Seasons of a Life
A Tempo explores the transitory nature of time in poetry and painting. The poems are divided into the four seasons. Winter and autumn poems are darker, spring and summer are lighter, even inspirational. The watercolor illustrations for each season are inspired by Chinese brush painting. Some poems are from Judaism or Buddhism, others from psychology, feminism, or philosophy. Some reflect on love, others on loss. Several reflect a love of the natural world. Readers are encouraged to seize each second, cherish each moment, and treasure each day – before it’s too late!Father Time waves his wrist watch at the edge of my consciousness, reminding me to get on with living mindfully and joyfully.
