Pivotal Moments

I am pleased to share with you that I will be hosting a book reading through the Vancouver Public Library, Joe Fortes Branch. It is billed as a 'Meet the Author' event, yet I rather think of it as a time to come together to reflect on key moments in our lives. I will select a reading from BECOMING, and then invite a dialogue with participants on the topic.

The theme for the event is Pivotal Moments... recalling and reflecting on those key moments in our lives where something shifted for us -- people, places, events which created 'ah ha' experiences, ones that pushed our boundaries, opened new doors, transformed our perspectives or stories in some significant way...

And here's where you come in. I'd be pleased to hear from you about which essay you would suggest we choose -- one that spoke to you personally, one that you find would be appropriate for an introduction to the book, one that you have found works well in circles and discussion groups...

You can respond by posting a comment on this site, or write to jill.schroder@gmail.com.

If by any chance you are new to the site, you can have a look at BECOMING: Journeying Toward Authenticity by going to the website or visiting Amazon, where you can also read some reviews to get a flavor for the volume.

I look forward to hearing from you, and perhaps to seeing you at the reading on Sunday, Nov. 7. We will meet at 2:00 pm in the Barclay Room of the West End Community Centre, across from the library there, at Haro and Denman in Vancouver. Admission is free, seating is limited.
