*Spending time with horses changes you; it deepens you spiritual awareness and diminishes your ego...TRANSFORMATION...No action is more fascinating than the action of self-transformation. Nothing on earth can compare with it's drama or value. -Vernon Howard

Gallup! Book for August....and beyond!
When Elaine asked me to consider selecting and leading the Book Club for August, it didn't take me long to say yes! But then came the hard choice, which book? I thought of the gals in the Book Club and before I knew it I had the book. It's entitled "Half Time" by Bob Buford from Zondervan Publishing House.
So I might be admitting my age here, but the book addresses that point in our lives, Half Time which represents a transition period. A time when we go from "success" to "significance". Success can take on many forms - from raising children, managing careers, dealing with marriage issues, etc. but then suddenly we find ourselves at that halfway point in our lives and we wonder how we got there. And more importantly, what are we going to do about it? How we make the second half better and more significant? Not only for us, but for others?
So whether you are at the Half Time in your life or not, I think there all things we could realize from this book. Hope to see you at GallUP! Book Club in August.

Half Time by Bob Buford
Janel; I get why you chose this book...wow! This is the book I needed to read. If no one else comes it will have touched me! I really encourage you Gals to get the book and meet us next week Thurs. at 6:30 to discuss the book. Horsey d' orves and beverages will be served...don't miss out!
Big Blessings,
Elaine
