Book of the Month: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho |
|
"Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. His quest will lead him to riches far different—and far more satisfying—than he ever imagined. Santiago's journey teaches us about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, of recognizing opportunity and learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, most importantly, to follow our dreams." |

Making New Year's Resolutions With Your Children |
|
"With the year coming to an end, everyone is looking forward to 2021 and starting new and fresh. While a lot of the challenges we are facing now won't be completely gone, we have hope that the next year will be better. Many people are starting to think of new year's resolutions, and they have had a hard year go by to reflect on what they need to improve in their lives. However, as adults get ready to make some changes, it can make us question if children should also be making resolutions." |
