I love the idea of a book group ~ and I've been thinking about Newlane for my daughter for a while now ~ I will revisit that idea as well ~ thank you for your inspiring posts ~~
I’ve been thinking about enrolling for several months and I think you just gave me the push I needed to do it. It’s scary to think of going back to school at 50-something but doing it along side you and other women makes it feel attainable. Thank you for the nudge!
I attended an amazing talk by Timothy Snyders last Friday in Amsterdam and he commented how important humanity studies are when facing down fascist governments. I think it’s great that you are pursuing this!
Love continuous learning even when the continuity is somewhat broken up by years or decades! During T’s first term I went back to school after 36 years and got my paralegal certificate. While philosophy may not be the thing for me I am looking into Newlane for sure. You continue to be my hero.
I am looking for a book/discussion group and would LOVE to join. I am thinking of doing a local group, but online will expand my exposure to ideas, thoughts, and others who want the same.
I don't have it in me to do a degree (is that limited thinking, or an actual limit of my time, energy and money? Who knows...) but the DISCUSSION GROUP I am ALL IN!
Ideas for names:
- SMASHING, (as in, we're smashing patriarchy and other things that need smashing, and also looking and feel smashing while we do it)
- TELL ME ABOUT IT, as in the "oy vey, can you believe it?" and also, I want other people to tell me about what they're reading, seeing and feeling.
- READING AND RESISTING. Not super clever, but gets the idea across
I'd love to be a part of a bookclub of that nature. I'm in one at my local library, but often feel like I'm the most radical thing in the room, though i love the stability the sweet older women provide my life.
both offerings feel very intriguing. i'm thinking about it.
Oh my goodness! I would love to get a degree in philosophy. I will look into it. Thank you for always inspiring!!

Would *love* to be a part of your discussion group. I already have more degrees than I know what to do with (lawyer) lol
Gabby, you are truly an inspiration 💛

Treasure those rare family times! Are you familiar with MWEG (and our monthly book club)? Fulfills some of those desires: https://www.mormonwomenforethicalgovernment.org/get-involved

Love this so much. I had been considering Newlane for an additional degree (I have a BA and an MS) and this was the nudge I needed to sign up!
