During the week of February 16, 2015, I had the distinct privilege of spending time with many people in the beloved town of Newtown, Connecticut. This was my second visit to this picturesque place and I was grateful to have been invited once again. My first journey to Newtown, took place in September of 2013.


My week of February 16th, in
Newtown, Connecticut was much like the week that I spent in September of
2013: A lovely visit to Cyrenius H. Booth Library, where my three
books, "Hearts Always Open," "Memories With The Heart," and "Friendships
With The Heart" are shelved, alongside beautiful books that are a part
of the Cyrenius H. Booth's collection of, Books Heal Hearts. Being able
to meet once again with the members of "Spiritual Journey" in the Holy
Innocents Faith Formation Center, at Saint Rose of Lima Catholic Church,
was both captivating and so very rewarding. Friday morning was a
special time for me, for I was able to present to the Middle School
Students of Saint Rose of Lima Catholic School-such a great group of
students! I was asked to speak with the Middle School Students about my
fourth book, "Friendships With The Heart." The generosity of spirit
that shined so brightly among the Fifth through Eighth Grade students,
reminded me of the visit to Saint Rose of Lima Catholic School that I
had in September of 2013, with the Kindergarten through Fourth Grade
Students...they as well were shining stars. As I reflect on my journey to Newtown, Connecticut, during the week of February 16th, I think about the resilience of so many people that reside in this community-I think about their integrity and their strong faith in believing. And, I look forward to returning to this picturesque town, and spending time with its beloved residents.
Most grateful, Glenna.
