Welcome to the 36th Street Book Club!

Hi Ladies! I thought I would set up a little place on the web that we could connect and encourage one another. I know that Facebook is ideal, but I do not do FB. I also thought of doing a Yahoo group but didn't want to require anyone to sign up. Here goes!

The book that we will be reading is Sally Clarkson's Own Your Life. I have a few print copies of the book, but if you prefer a digital copy you can grab it here. Also through that link, you can watch a trailer for the book and watch a video of the author as she speaks about the concepts in the book with a few friends.

As of now, we are set to meet Thursday mornings for the next nine weeks. We will meet at my home on 36th Street from 9:45-11:15am. We will have a child wrangler (my oldest son who is 13) who will try to corral kids upstairs, but I must ask you to be responsible for your own kiddos. My house is not baby proof. We have a lot of Legos and other toys with small parts.

That's enough housekeeping for now. Here is the schedule as it stands for now:
