Is it a random friendly smile? Is it some deep profound insight? Is it some curious enigma? Let’s find out and share our conclusions!

What if we could take the overwhelmed and diffuse it–or, reframe it–to good? Author, blogger, and mother of five Kay Wills Wyma has learned that if we’re going to be overwhelmed by anything, let’s have it be Truth with all its grace, hope, peace, and love. In this freeing book, she shares how to confront life’s pressures –at home, at work, in our relationships–and replace those expectations with the liberating truth that we were made for something better. Join Executive Director Judith Reilly for a series of discussions as we work our way through the book, Not the Boss of Us: Putting Overwhelmed in Its Place in a Do-All, Be-All World (2018). Please register by July 14th and read chapters 1 – 4 before the first session.
