Welcome, Friends!
While I’ve officially retired from teaching kids, big reading and writing adventures are on the horizon for adults!
I’m called to gather women around my dining room table to read, write, and connect. That’s because I know down to my bones that life is better when we share our stories. Let’s add light to the world and do it together.
See below for ways we can read and write together.
Always writing,
THE ONCE-IN-A-WHILE bOOK CLUB
The Once-in-a-While Book Club is books with benefits for book lovers who can’t commit to monthly meetings (I crack myself up). It’s an afternoon of bookish conversation that happens around my dining room table once-in-a-while. Read the book. Show up comfy and casual. I’ll do the rest.
Remaining 2026 dates: June 28 and November 1.
THE LADIES’ TABLE
My signature course is morphing from Family of Writers to The Ladies’ Table.
For decades, many of you have written with me and your children at THE Kids’ Table, but now it’s our turn to gather with women across generations and experiences as we share our stories in voices that don’t always have to be appropriate for third-fifth graders. It’s time to let loose and give our words permission to fly across the page. Three classes offered THIS SUMMER and the best news…I’m teaming up with a wonderful teacher and friend, Stacy Upton!
2026 Dates: June 13, July 26, and August 22
MINI WRITING & ART RETREAT
Small afternoon retreat. Massive creative delights. Sheri and I can’t wait to gather eight women around our dining room tables for a few hours of writing and art! No writing experience required! We celebrate all that is good about your bold and beautiful words and artistic creations.
Date: Sheri and I will announce the date in late 2026 or early 2027. Stay tuned.
