BOOKS

               Back to the present! This weekend was terrific. A book group that started in 2020 during COVID, with five people, has morphed into a group of 8. We decided to stay at 8. We met each other for the first time in person this weekend. Our ages are from the late 40s to 80s. This book group meets on Zoom and has for the past few years.

             Our first book, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill, was the starter and became an exciting direction setter. The book has questions to be answered. We meet for 1 hour. We thought two chapters a week. HA   – we found we were still reading and answering questions a year later.

As a result of answering those questions, our book choices became more introspective than business and our conversations became more profound. 

                We gathered from Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York State, and Maryland this weekend. Staying in the homes of the Pennsylvanians, we talked, sang, laughed and ate.  A priceless experience, I’m forever grateful for this awesome group of women.
