Good morning, good evening, or good day to you — wherever you are in the world!

We’re in week two of our “book-to-screen” round. From the looks of the comments in our discussion group, many of you are moving and listening to these two books:

Nine Perfect Strangers — so many great smoothie recommendations shared

Firefly Lane — oh how I wish we could all meet up in person in ‘70s-themed clothing!

If you’d like to attend, please RSVP by email  and I’ll send you more information and the password for access. No worries if you can’t make it; I’m hoping to have more Zoom offerings in the future.

Thank you for your honest sharing of your thoughts on trauma and COVID-19. Self-care takes many forms and can be very personal. I encourage you to continue to be mindful of the little things that refuel the spirit.

Speaking of self-care, it’s not too late to join our 30-Day TLC Challenge. I’m excited to raffle off these super-cute socks from Binc in support of indie bookshops through Libro as the prize for those who complete the challenge. In case you missed the details, here they are.

P.S. I do my very best to get new members acclimated as quickly as possible. If you have any questions, please ask in our discussion group or via email. I respond ASAP, but we’re global, so if you don’t hear from me within a few hours, I’m most likely sleeping. FYI, any type of activity counts — including chores, gardening, cooking, etc. You’re also welcome to choose your own audiobook. Putting my skills as a NBC-HWC health coach to work, The Walking Book Club also includes coaching/goal-setting prompts and information on Healthy-Body Happy-Mind. It is my sincerest desire that you find a social connection to others, a gentle nudge to keep moving, and inspiration to live as happy and healthy as possible. We’re an international community of book lovers in sneakers! #engagethemindandbody

P.P.S. Feedback like this makes running The Walking Book Club worth all the time I put into it.
