On Wednesday, November 9th at 7:00pm is a workshop on Guided Meditation by Fawna Bews. Fawna will teach us how meditation can help us find inner peace, strengthen our spiritual quest and relieve stress.
There are two books worth mentioning. Annabel by Kathleen Winter is a sensitive study of hermaphroditism. A baby is born with both male and female organs to a loving devoted couple. The story explores the dilemma of mixed sexuality and traces the life of the child through elementary and high school. It is set in Labrador, a land that is both magical and mystical, filled with wildlife and Inuit lore. It is written with insight, compassion and kindness.
The second is The Bird House by Kelly Simmons. It is a psychologically charged novel about a feisty, tennis playing grandmother with early onset of Alzheimer's. She and her 8 year old granddaughter form a deep and loving bond as they sort through the memories and the relics found in the grandmother's attic. It is profoundly moving when the secrets of the family are unearthed and brought to light again.
