Book Club was this last Wednesday on this book. A record 22 people came. We had a fabulous discussion, not to mention yummy treats themed in honey and peaches. With a Texas Sheet Cake to boot, that I devoured. ::mmm:: Consensus: an excellent book for women's book club.
I could tell you what it's about. I could tell you what I loved* about it. Rather, I'll make a list(!):
What I want to do because of Secret Life of Bees
- Give daily court-convicting evidence of how much I love Seth so he never wonders
- Find a caramel cake recipe
- Memorize "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening"
- Take time to drink in nature's beauty
- Bathe in a river... kidding! Just seeing if you're awake.
- Discover how I grieve
- Find traditions I love and other's can identify me by
- Revel in motherhood and sisterhood
- Choose to do the more important thing: focus on people, not worrying about painting the house pink
Thank you to whoever recommended it for Book Club!
*Loved: vibrant writing, the 3 "calendar" sisters, Lily and her blooming, the bee quotes, the queen bee metaphor, many life lessons to consider, other elements to consider: social, political, spiritual, emotional
