NEW EVENT COMING UP FOR "WIFE, JUST LET GO"

In the spirit of peace and harmony, the sharing of “Wife, Just Let Go,” continues. Announcing another book event coming up in June in Los Angeles. Chado, the Japanese Way of Tea has always been a pillar that has held me up during years of intensive caregiving and still holds me up in grief especially as the 3rd anniversary of Robert’s death approaches. Please join me for a book discussion/tea ceremony at the beautiful Shoseian Teahouse in Glendale, CA on June 17, 2018. (See event post.) Please spread the word to your friends in the LA area and contact me if you need further information. The momentum for the book is ongoing.
