Four of us, Jeanne Watier, Helena Kalivoda, Susanne Alexander-Heaton and I met at Extreme Bean today for lunch. We are four of the longest-serving members of Calgary Authors, meeting to talk about how the group is changing. We looked at the vision statement from last year, and realize that some parts don’t fit. With my upcoming move to Kelowna within the year, those three friends will be guiding the group, with help from Roger Joyeux, our web genius. We have lost a few members who have moved away, gained new members, and we are excited. So many ideas, wishes and dreams flowed as we brainstormed. Many laughs. Great sharing.
Helena and I visited Self Connection books after to deliver more of my books and CDs, and talked to Pat Stefanson about using their space for our seminars. That’s a great place, but the night we wanted was already booked. Next I went to Our Angels Centre for Wellbeing, in Marda Loop, to see if they were interested in having our bookstand. Most of us have our books at Our Angels, and Elle was totally open to it. She even has a great spot for it, right in front of the window where people often wait in line for sushi next door. Jeane and I will deliver the stand within the week.
The other synchronistic happening is that Our Angels was available on March 7 for the seminar with Lisa on Using Social Media. So we don’t have to switch nights, just venues. Watch for a poster and more information on that event.
After that I went to the Alexander Calhoun Library to ask them to put up a poster of The Creative Soul workshop that I’m giving with Carolyn Pogue on Jan. 29 & Feb. 5. The librarian said, “Sure”, so now I’ll be getting more to the main library for dispersal to all the libraries.
Spirit, you have been with each of us the past four hours … or is that the past 24 hours? … or maybe the last 24 days, or years, or… I phoned Jeane and Susanne to share the news, and we are all laughing. It’s all good. It’s all fast. What a blast. Gratitude abounds.
