This book club was formed back in January of 2008.  Since then, I have had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful women from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and interests with the common desire to connect and meet new friends who also share the love of reading. Each member is encouraged to participate in discussions and selections of our monthly readings.  We typically read books from various genres, sometimes they are from the bestseller's list, sometimes they are not.  We meet once a month, …

The Real Moms of Snohomish Co. are just that: real moms. We aren’t perfect moms, and we aren’t even trying to be. We have good days and bad days. Sometimes we know just what to do, and sometimes we have no clue. We have real kids. They are little angels who crawl around and get into other people’s diaper bags, sometimes they don’t know how to share, and they get dirty at playdates. We use antibacterial gel when we can, and we’ll use licked fingers to clean faces and shirt sleeves to wipe noses i …

The purpose of the Meetup group Practicing Living in the Moment is to explore spiritual practices that lead us to a deeper experience of being alive in the present moment. In each meeting, after introducing ourselves to each other and "catching up," we do a short guided meditation and then we read passages from a book the group has selected.  We try to practice what we've read about in our daily lives. Once the group feels that we have mastered the material, we then select by consensus another a …

We all philosophize. Whether it’s when we are asked for our ethical/moral opinion, or we ask ourselves “Why..?” or “What if..?” Never studied philosophy? Haven't read Nietzsche or Kierkegaard? Don't even know who they are? Then Socrates Café may be the philosophy group for you. It's an approach that takes philosophy "out of the ivory tower and back into the lives of ordinary people, where it belongs." It's where people from different backgrounds get together and exchange thoughtful ideas and exp …

We are a group of book lovers that meet once a month to discuss.....books. We like to read books from all genres, though usually fiction, we have thrown in a non-fiction a time or two. During the monthly meetups, we choose the next book. Actually, we tend to stay 2 months in advance so everyone has a chance to get the book from the library if they want. How we choose books is a little different too. We don't really discuss the book before reading it. Someone at the meeting suggests a book they w …
