Co-Writing via Zoom
What Is This? On the dates and times listed below, I will be showing up on Zoom to spend three hours writing. If you’d like to commit to a block of time to write, and virtual accountability would help you stick to it, this is for you. Even if you’re not sure what the heck this is or how it could work, why not give it a try? And, incidentally, you don’t necessarily have to write — it could be focused time for any project you want.
How Does It Work? For those who express interest, I’ll send out a Zoom link the day before. Then I’ll open the Zoom “room” at the appointed time. After a brief hello, we’ll get to work, silently. Twice in the course of the three-hour block, we’ll stop for a five-minute “water cooler” break for those interested.
About the Facilitator: Nancy Colasurdo is a life coach and an award-winning blogger and journalist.
Details: Friday, March 19, 12:30-3:30 p.m. ET; Wednesday, March 31, 12-3 p.m. ET — all via Zoom. If interested in being on the email list, email Nancy here. There is no fee.

Actually Curious Book Club
What Is This? In June 2020, in an effort to learn and deepen my knowledge of race and race issues in the United States, I decided to do more reading on the topic. When a colleague expressed interest in doing the same, we teamed up and decided to co-facilitate a discussion. A book club was born.
What Books Are Next? Caste by Isabel Wilkerson (February 26 and March 26 meetings); Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine (April meeting, date TBD).
What Books Have You Read So Far? Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow (which spanned two meetings); How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi; Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates; James Baldwin’s Notes of a Native Son; I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou; You Can’t Touch My Hair by Phoebe Robinson.
What If I Missed Earlier Meetings? It doesn’t matter. We welcome more voices and points of view.
About the Facilitators: Nancy Colasurdo is a life coach and an award-winning blogger and journalist and Anne Bonfiglio is an attorney and counselor at law at Bonfiglio Family Law.
Details: Friday, March 26, 2021, 7:30-9 p.m. ET via Zoom. If interested in being on the list of participants, email Nancy here.
