I had lunch with a friend last week he used the term OUTLIER to describe me. The dictionary definition is a person or thing situated away or detached from the main body or system.
In 2005 Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book called The Outliers, tag line, Story of Success. His definition is a person that is very different, words he uses are non-conformist, Eccentric, Original, Maverick, and Bohemian! Two things I remember, one being that it takes 10,000 hours to become a master of anything and two, mentor ship and a sense of community are very important in life. (l agree) Boy oh boy, I guess I have passed anything that is in the realm of normal.
I attended my grandsons Bar Mitzvah, Ben did an amazing job. He was very relaxed and had done the work. As part of the service he had written a piece about humanity and getting along in the world, way beyond his 13 years. I was very proud and will include it somewhere in my book.
I am starting to get serious about my book, setting up interviews, and figuring out how this will all happen! I have about 25 people on my list for interviews so far.
I am travelling to Montreal next week to visit Eric. It is always wonderful to spend time with him. Then I will be off to Halifax to visit my friend and coach for the book Judy, as well as visit with granddaughter Spencer at University.
Until the next time!!

Hi Betty Thanks for The Outlier note! Not sure that the title is right for you, but am using it anyway for this little note! All is well here and we are moving through a reasonably easy winter up to this point, hoping it continues! We are around for most of the winter season and so far have not made any major plans to travel, but will likely do so soon. Hope you can get on with writing your next book and that it comes together well for you; I look forward to receiving it! Love as always Prue >
Looking great, my friend! Good luck with the new book. Sending love!
