Where Is RAnn???

Has anyone heard from RAnn, who used to host Sunday Snippets?   She hasn't posted on her blog in almost a month.
I sent a comment to her latest post the other day, but it still
hasn't been published.
If anyone has any information, please answer in the comments.
Thanks!

A Virtual Club


    I recently discovered this book  on openlibrary.org.

These are excerpts from the Introduction:
"Imagine that you could share coffee with a collection of history's greatest women...
This book convenes such a club."
"Each club meeting centers around a particular topic of interest,
as members engage in dialogue across time and space.  You are invited to listen in."
"[I]magine that you, too, are a participant in the dialogue."
"[P]ull up a chair, make yourself comfortable; and, welcome to the club!"

Well, anyone familiar with this blog knows how I feel about clubs!  Also, I like the compiler's originality in not calling this book something like "Quotes (or Quotations) From Great Women."

I knew that this was a book I wanted to own, but before I ordered it, there is one thing I made sure of. Margaret Sanger, whom some people unfortunately consider to have been a great woman, is NOT a "member" of the Great Women's Coffee Club.

So how do I use this book in such a way that it is, for me at least, a virtual club, and not just another collection of quotations?
1
"Meetings" are held on the third Tuesday of each month,
at 11:00 AM, with coffee, of course.
2
I sit on the opposite end of the couch from where I normally sit.
3
I imagine myself responding to at least some of the quotes in the book.

So far, I'm enjoying this "club" very much.



Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
