A Year of Glimmer

It has been a year of discussions with a wonderful group of women who have informed and challenged so much of who I am and what I do. For this I give thanks! Included below is the list of books we read. We gathered weekly to reflect and challenge content and interpretation. It was a rather strict gathering in that we began promptly and talked about the book for 75 minutes (then there was time to talk about other things). We got lax on this towards the end of our year (when some big life events occured), but really jumping right into the book content from the beginning helped this group to make it a reflective textually engaging space. I highly recommend gathering some others and doing the same! ​
