Leaving no page unturned, and no glass empty! A new twist on an old idea (a 'novel' concept, if you'll pardon the pun)...Book clubs and reading groups are great, but 'ABC Club' aims to shake those notions up just a bit.  'ABC Club' is for women only (sorry guys!) and meets at least once a month to hold a book discussion, and also to share in a yummy potluck gathering including appetizers (finger foods) and beverages (can be of the ‘adult’ variety, but doesn’t necessarily have to be). Books may b …

Have you ever wondered if God exists? Have you ever wonder if there is life after death? Have you ever wonder if stories of miracles are true or just wives tales? Have you ever wondered how your beliefs were shaped by what your parents taught you? Then this book club is for you! I grew up in a Christian home where my parents told me to believe in God. A series of tragic life events left me questioning if He was out there. Recently I wanted to settle that question on more objective reasons t …

It's time to take another look at some of those books we read (or pretended to read) in high school or college. If you went to high school in the 40s or 50s, you actually read books! Authors of fiction such as Dickens, Tolstoy, Camus, Kipling, and Elliott are some of the ones to re-consider. Then there's all that nonfiction, of course, especially the ones we were supposed to read in history, social studies, anthropology and philosophy classes. I've discovered that now, as a gray-haired grandma, …

Imagine a roomful of baseball coaches, talking about the game, the greats, the might-have-beens, strategy, why on earth did the American League implement the designated hitter? Fun for those who love baseball. And then think about Thanksgiving. You wanted to talk about writing, but hesitated. No one would understand your need to write. And comments such as “that’s nice” and “it must be so fulfilling” would do little to satisfy. So you spent the rest of the day listening to spellbinding commentar …

Balance is becoming a rare commodity in the Wiccan community these days. The number of "fluffy bunnies" who see only the bright quarter of the moon and forget the dark side. It is still there, not just empty space. We want to bring balance back to Wiccan (and other magickal) studies, the balanced path of magick as we learned it decades ago when we ourselves were fledgling witches. Today Wiccans seem interested only in doing full moon magick, not in the banishing rituals of the dark moon, such as …

Enjoy Shakespeare in a whole new way, where everyone participates equally. Here’s how it works: at the appointed hour, we meet and greet each other, and take our seats in a circle. We don't choose parts. Instead, the first reader launches into the opening lines of the play. When the speaker changes in the script, the next reader takes over, and so on. The first time around the circle, you might be the king, the next time, an unnamed maiden! If a speech is long, the reader changes every 8 lines, …
