When the weather turns colder....

....it is a good time for this:

Reading a book, and a hot cup of coffee in that Loveless mug!

Many of  you will recall my mentioning that I serve my Conference United Methodist Women as Secretary of Program Resources.  My major responsibility with this office is promoting the reading program.  Each year, there is a new list of books to choose from for participating in this reading program.

There are five categories - Nurturing for Community, Educating for Mission, Spiritual Growth, Social Action, and Leadership Development.  The book pictured is from the 2013 list for Leadership Development. 

Deborah M. Kolb, Judith Williams, and Carol Frohlinger have written a book that is an outstanding resource for women who are taking the step into senior leadership positions.  Anyone in this role will learn from the insights in this book.  You may be able to read these words on the cover: "A Woman's Guide to Negotiating Five Key Challenges to Leadership Success."

We have had some colder-than-usual weather here, but not any of the snow flurries that some of you have mentioned.  Before the week-end is over, we are predicted to have our first below-freezing low temperatures for the season.  It will definitely be a cold time for outdoor activities, and the Komen Race for the Cure is scheduled for Saturday!   Do you have some special week-end plans?

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.
