I’d love to know your thoughts, questions, or opinions! Your response will be posted after I have received it. I may take up to 72 hrs. to post. When there are thunderstorms in the metro Atlanta, Georgia area, I unplug everything. Unfortunately, we’ve had numerous storms so far this year. Most often, expect to see your post within hours of sending it to me, but in case of weather problems, it will take longer, hence the 72 hours on the long end. I am sorry for this inconvenience, but due to widespread anti-Semitism, I need to approve of your blog before I post it. Thanks for your consideration.
The Georgia Literary Book Festival
I’d like to start by thanking all of the organizers and volunteers! Despite the cold weather, it was a fun day! I would also like to thank my husband Kevin for giving up a football day with his friends!
I noticed that vendor-wise, books on spirituality appeared to be an overriding theme. It is a good “sign of the times” because vendors tend to sell what they believe the public wants. When there is an air of negativity and violence in the news, I am glad that many people are more interested in, reading about, talking about, and buying books on spirituality.
Violence and evil unfortunately spread easily and are detrimental not only to those directly involved, but also to society as a whole. These negative vibes, if you will, also affect the earth itself. Think about it. A proliferation of violence and hatred in countries all over the world corresponds directly with all of the flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes, etc. If you don’t believe me, look at history.
There are many positive signs appearing in people’s reaching for spirituality, community, and kindness. I hope the positive efforts being made around the world are effective enough to calm our planet down. For those of you spreading joy, hope, and love, I thank you and urge you to please keep it up! If I’m correct, our future really depends on it.
I was interviewed at the festival yesterday by a Rome-area reporter. Here’s the link to the article:
