Hello Friends,

For many of us our lives have been affected by cancer in some way. We must learn how to find hope and courage and beauty by setting aside the promises of self-help gurus and Instagramm influencers and making peace with our beautiful finitude. I have an idea for how we might do that together.

Kate Bowler has a book called No Cure for Being Human (And Other Truths I Need to Hear) that asks questions, how do we move forward when there is no going back? It’s a memoir for all of us that are trapped in fragile bodies, commitments, dependents, money, geography, and circumstances.

So I am writing to propose we start a No Cure for Being Human discussion group, in which we will meet on select Sunday mornings from 9:15-10:15am and discuss Kate’s book. The gathering will start with a brief time checking in and followed by a gently facilitated conversation. All you need to do is buy the book from your favorite bookseller and let me know if you are coming. I sincerely hope you will consider.

As Kate says, “There is no cure for being human, but we are all good medicine.”

In This Together,
JoEllen McGugan
