Yesterday’s meeting of our bookclub left me feeling wonderful.
It reminded me of the power of friendship, the joy of reading and therapeutic benefits of laughing often and deeply.
It is a space where I feel heard, cared about and respected.
This is a welcome antidote to today’s world that can leave women, especially older women, feeling patronized, ignored or marginalized.
It’s life-affirming.
It’s healing.
It’s magic.

Beautifully said and I am happy for you! We all need a place like that! Can I ask what you are reading? Just curious. 🙂

It’s a little bit dark for those who don’t like reality, but there is a lot of character depth to explore, so it could make for good discussion. Then there are the moral aspects of the global and personal dilemmas. I can see a lot of possibilities for heated debate. Thank you very much for the idea. It would be nice if you think they would agree to read it.

Hi Anneli, I will recommend it. We have books for summer but will work on our fall/winter schedule soon. I think they would accept it. I will keep you posted. Lori
