Happy New Year to our community,
As we step into a new year, I want to pause and say thank you—from the heart.
This year marks ten years of Review Tales, and that milestone belongs to all of you. To the writers, contributors, editors, creatives, readers, and friends who have supported this space over the years: your presence has shaped it more than you know.
What began as a small place for thoughtful faith, writing, and conversation has grown because of your trust, your words, your questions, and your encouragement. Some of you have walked alongside this work quietly, others visibly—but every contribution has mattered.
To our authors and contributors: thank you for lending your voices, your insight, and your time. To our readers and supporters: thank you for reading attentively, engaging generously, and returning year after year. You are the reason this work continues.
I enter this new year with deep gratitude and renewed hope for what lies ahead. May the coming year bring clarity, creativity, faithfulness, and meaningful conversations for us all.
Here’s to the journey so far—and to what’s still to come.
With sincere thanks,
Jeyran Main

“Navigate Your Emotions” by Victoria Ichizli-Bartels presents a new and unique approach to understanding how to change how we feel.

Helen Ye Plehn’s “The Aura Color Wheel” offers a colorful, spiritually informative way for readers to learn about the soul’s purpose, its emotional patterns, and how to grow personally. The system is based on a combination of different types of metaphysical wisdom (e.g, aura readings, Vedic astrology, chakra work, feng shui). Through this system, Plehn invites the reader to look at the individual colour of their soul’s aura and see how this colour relates to their unique gifts, wounds, and lessons they have to learn in the spirit. “The Aura Color Wheel”, published by Hay House, is a vibrant and energetically alive non-fiction book. The foundation of the book is the Aura Colour Wheel; this is the system Plehn used to decode the essence of your soul’s aura using the colours associated with the aura.
