My book club has been meeting for more than 15 years. We are a group of women who read books and discuss them deeply, all the while having great food and drink and friendship. This evening, we discussed Becoming by Michelle Obama. This woman could be sitting in our living room, laughing and having fabulous conversation with us. Her insights into daily life are uplifting, and her realizations about the public life of a first lady are humbling. We have decided to have three goals by our next meeting. These goals will center around how to get young people and grandmothers out to vote on election days, or perhaps how to help a favorite candidate become a winner of an election, or what we can do to help the environment, or -- well, the possibilities are endless! On the way home from this gathering, my friend, Jean, told me she missed my daily writings. I realized I did, too! So I'm back to my daily emails and blog posts. I've missed them, and hearing from all of you, too!This blog began by presenting the daily workbook lesson from A Course in Miracles with a correlative passage from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, with my writing in between telling tales of how I use these ideas in daily life. In 2019, my format became more free form. What you find here are short dissertations on what I notice each day. Feel free to comment!
