Most Read This Week In Pets

[close] This group is created with the express purpose of bringing together pet parents who love to read almost as much as they love their pets. I propose to read and discuss 1-2 books per month. I'd like to start out with something light and pet/animal themed and move on with something chosen by group members.

[close] We read books about all types animals, reptiles, sea life, birds, and insects. Also, any book with these as a second main character. The book that comes to mind as an example is "A Walk Across America" by Peter Jenkins. His dog was in the book throughout as a 2nd main character. Have you read a book based on these topics listed above and would like to discuss it? You've come to the right place. Suggestions always welcome.

[close] The fun side of mystery

[close] Whether you are the leader of your family, your church, community group, nonprofit or other business - or even of yourself, if you want to learn how to be resilient, or help others chose resiliency over being stuck, longing for a past that has gone, maybe forever, this is the place for you! The most successful teachers know, that they teach what they want to learn more about! While animal books from W Bruce Cameron will be our North Star, we will be covering books from all categories, as long as they help us to understand resiliency and how to use t to make our lives, (or the lives or others better. After every disaster, people emerge in a "honeymoon " phase - just happy to have survived and ready to get back to their norm. Frequently, their "Norm" is gone, sometimes forever! There is a decent into helplessness, hopelessness, depression, despair, even thoughts of suicide. This can last up to years! People from vulnerable populations get overwhelmed. Do YOU want to make a difference? January 2022 to May is going to be our Phase 1. Please be flexible as we learn how to do this the best way. June through Early August will be our Phase 2 where we will bring in many more personal experiences of dealing with the challenges of loss and bringing in Resiliency. In late August through December 2022 We are going to deal with integrating Bruce's Study Guides for Children and Adults, extending Disaster Preparedness Month from September through January 8, 2023.
