Forever Home Within Music Dance

This true story is ongoing from nine years in print and follows the life of a restless female who finally found inner peace in her forever home, shared with her husband and four cats in semi-rural countryside. It’s a simple life lived without the nearness of friends or family but yet entrenched with a deep-rooted sense of belonging, gratitude and privilege. Much like music & dance, this life does become out of tune sometimes with the wrong steps taken at the wrong time. At other times there’s complete harmony from being on the right track, with the right beat and taking the right steps. There are different ways of listening, recognising, reacting and responding to whatever situation comes to be and whether literally or metaphorically, alone or shared, the power of music & dance can while away the toughest of times, bringing us back to this space we occupy here in this solar system where planets and stars are moving too - in another shared space. So, here’s to all the moving and shaking of another year to be DISCOvered!

From the New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah comes a powerful novel of love, loss, and the magic of friendship. . . . now a #1 Netflix series! In the turbulent summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the eighth-grade social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the "coolest girl in the world" moves in across the street and wants to be her friend. Tully Hart seems to have it all---beauty, brains, ambition. On the surface they are as opposite as two people can be: Kate, doomed to be forever uncool, with a loving family who mortifies her at every turn. Tully, steeped in glamour and mystery, but with a secret that is destroying her. They make a pact to be best friends forever; by summer's end they've become TullyandKate. Inseparable. So begins Kristin Hannah's magnificent new novel. Spanning more than three decades and playing out across the ever-changing face of the Pacific Northwest, Firefly Lane is the poignant, powerful story of two women and the friendship that becomes the bulkhead of their lives. From the beginning, Tully is desperate to prove her worth to the world. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, she longs to be loved unconditionally. In the glittering, big-hair era of the eighties, she looks to men to fill the void in her soul. But in the buttoned-down nineties, it is television news that captivates her. She will follow her own blind ambition to New York and around the globe, finding fame and success . . . and loneliness. Kate knows early on that her life will be nothing special. Throughout college, she pretends to be driven by a need for success, but all she really wants is to fall in love and have children and live an ordinary life. In her own quiet way, Kate is as driven as Tully. What she doesn't know is how being a wife and mother will change her . . . how she'll lose sight of who she once was, and what she once wanted. And how much she'll envy her famous best friend. . . . For thirty years, Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship---jealousy, anger, hurt, resentment. They think they've survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart . . . and puts their courage and friendship to the ultimate test. Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone's Farm apple wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. More than a coming-of-age novel, it's the story of a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by choices. It's about promises and secrets and betrayals. And ultimately, about the one person who really, truly knows you---and knows what has the power to hurt you . . . and heal you. Firefly Lane is a story you'll never forget . . . one you'll want to pass on to your best friend.

The book is a dive deep into the world of angels and spirits. Robert and Alice never expected their experiences to happen but happen they did. Shortly after their marriage, many unusually problems came to the surface causing Alice to suffer a breakdown that required hospitalization. Alice recovered, but no explanation for the cause of her breakdown was ever offered by her doctors. In the hope that further problems could be adverted, Robert and Alice, falling back on their comparative religion backgrounds, researched what similar kinds of breakdowns might explain what had happened to Alice. Their findings indicated the possibility of an experience affecting new tribal shamans in many parts of the world, called "Spirit sickness". This realization started the couple on an extended investigation into the world of spirits which lasted several years. During this investigation the couple met angels, spirit guides and others who blessing them with a vast quantity of knowledge and spiritual understanding. The couple also encountered demons, which had to be bravely confronted and defeated. The upshot of this work is their book, which documents for the first time a careful investigation of the world of spirit that all of us will inherit and someday be a part of.

Culture and institutions.

Summoned by the call of the copper mines in Butte, Montana, Irish immigrants left a struggling Ireland at the beginning of the 20th century in search of a better life. Around the mines peppering the hills of the mining city, these determined sons and daughters of Eire built strong Irish neighborhoods that engendered the best of Irish culture and influence. Faith, family, a strong work ethic, and a sense of humor would see these immigrants through the decades. Celebrations like St. Patrick’s Day and An Ri Ra, Irish language workshops, and a new generation of Irish artisans acknowledge the contributions of this influential group.
