| Maria Rego's favorite book |
To all my book worm buddies,
It was joyous to me hosting this last meeting of year 7. So special because I was sharing a milestone with all of you. (Retirement is a big deal!!). I missed all who were not present but I know that often times things come into our lives that can't be helped.
I hope that you will take the time to visit/re-visit my book Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney. There are so many messages in the book and I am sure that you will connect with one or more. For me, I identified with Alice and found similarities in her journey especially in the past few years, and so I felt I had to follow her path.
I grabbed onto the three things that one must do in one's life:
1) Travel to far away places
2) Live by the sea, and
3) Make the world more beautiful.
I have been blessed, and feel that I have done those things. But life is ever changing and I will now make it my purpose to travel more, enjoy living by the sea, and be determined to make a difference in more lives.
1) Travel to far away places

I have been blessed, and feel that I have done those things. But life is ever changing and I will now make it my purpose to travel more, enjoy living by the sea, and be determined to make a difference in more lives.
Thank you for being a part of my life because you have made a difference to me.
YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN MY HEART!!!
Much love,

ReplyDeleteHi Maria,
ReplyDeleteThank you for leading us in such a lovely last of the year book club meeting. I enjoyed hearing everyone's choices and getting reacquainted with some of our bookworm's favorite children's books. I also liked being introduced to some new books I didn't know about previously.
I'm so glad you shared all your thoughts about Miss Rumphius. There were so many "text to self" connections. Do keep our book dates in your calendar for next year, even though you will be a "city girl" now.
