Spring is Coming?
We got through the most difficult month of the year, and now it is March. Snow is still on the ground, but while I was walking my pup yesterday I saw several plants desperately forcing their way through the frozen dirt. This gives me hope and reminds me to "hang in there" because warm weather and better times are just around the corner. Each time March rolls around I find myself in need of rejuvenation. I am starting a raw food/juicing diet, signing up for a marathon, and cleaning out my closet. I think this is a perfect time to read a "self-help" book, and thanks to February's generous hostess, Karen Schulz-Harmon, we have a great one to read this month.
How it
Works
Each month a different member will choose a book and will
then host the next meeting at her place.
Hosting includes providing space for the meeting, leading/directing the
discussion, and providing light snacks (unless you would like to ask members to
bring something). This club does not
have a theme. We encourage all genres of
books, and are open to suggestions. All
meetings will be held on Sunday evenings at 7:30 pm. Our next meeting will take place on March 31st.
March
 |
Journalist and New York Times bestselling author Daniel Coyle visited nine of the world’s greatest talent hotbeds — tiny places that produce huge amounts of talent, from a small music camp in upstate New York to an elementary school in California to the baseball fields of the Caribbean.
He found that there’s a pattern common to all of them — certain methods of training, motivation, and coaching. This pattern, which has to do with the fundamental mechanisms through which the brain acquires skill, gives us a new way to think about talent — as well as new tools with which we can unlock our own talents and those of our kids.
Hostess
Our generous hostess
for this month is Chelsea Morris. She lives
in Rogers Park on the north side of Chicago.
1112 W Glenlake Ave Apt #1
Chicago, IL 60660.
"I live between the Thorndale & Granville stops on the Red Line. Street parking is a bit competitive, but I usually have good luck if I go west of Broadway. As far as food, it'd be great if some other people brought some stuff, too. I don't usually cook vegetarian/vegan, but I'll try to find something that everyone can eat."
