LIFE IS A TRIP
An Evening with Award-Winning International Travel & Culture Journalist Judith Fein
|
|
Experience the transformative power of developing a traveler’s mindset. It’s not about where you go but, rather, how you go. It can happen without leaving your hometown, or when you travel to exotic climes. When you develop a traveler’s mindset, you begin to see the events in your life, all of them, as an adventure. It lifts you out of the “ordinary” and into the excitement of experiencing the meaning and magic of your life. It also involves a different, deeper way to relate to people: you begin to see them as part of the adventure, and to listen and pay attention in a new and different way.
Please read Judith Fein’s book LIFE IS A TRIP: The Transformative Magic of Travel before the event.
Judith Fein has contributed to 110 international publications, given a TEDx talk on Deep Travel, authored three experiential travel books, blogs for PsychologyToday.com about transformative travel, and is a highly sought-after media guest as a travel expert. Her website is: https://www.GlobalAdventure.us.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANTA FE CHAPTER |
|
Happy 9th Birthday to the Santa Fe Chapter of TTN! The National Board President, Ellen Bartoldus, joined us in April 2012 for the celebration and congratulated us on becoming part of the National organization. We have been a very active chapter ever since.
We appreciate all who have joined the Santa Fe chapter over the years. In 2020 with the pandemic, we have been holding events virtually. Thanks for all of the ideas and suggestions the members have made. We have listened and are offering many that have been proposed. We appreciate all who have attended and are hoping that in the next few months that we will have a chance to start meeting in person again.
In March we asked for people to let us know if they would like to volunteer. Thanks to all who responded! If you missed the announcement or intended to send in the form but didn’t, please contact JeanPalmer790@gmail.com and she will send you the Volunteer Form. Volunteering is a good way to get more connected with the TTN women, the organization and a way to give back.

I am one of the initial members of TTN in Santa Fe and have continued my membership ever since.
I moved here from the Bay Area in 2011 on a classic transitional journey. Discovering TTN with congenial women over 50, spanning several generations, who are interested in sharing experiences, continue learning and developing new opportunities, helped me settle in. I love the Transition Peer Groups and their unique format. My Peer Group has continued for over 5 years. I've taken Jean Palmer's workshops several times. Volunteering has led to new friendships. I look forward to the Monthly Programs, the lunch gatherings and Friday wine tastings where we can meet face to face. Jean's musical parties and sing-a-longs are joyful and restorative.
I love being a part of this wonderful organization!
—Ellie B.

Book Discussion: The Partner by John Grisham
|
|
The Partner (1997) is a legal thriller by American novelist John Grisham. A law firm’s junior partner learns of a scheme masterminded by his firm’s client to defraud the U.S. government, and stand to make tens of millions of dollars. Set in Biloxi, Mississippi, the primary character devises a plan of his own, even faking his own death, to steal the money from secret off-shore accounts. After complicated turns of events, at the highest levels of government, he must protect the people he cares for, gain his freedom, and return the fortune that he secretly set aside. Kirkus Reviews called this book “Grisham’s best-plotted novel.” |
