Book Club Reflection: Starting Where We Are

This reflection comes before our first meeting because this season—of starting, resetting, and reimagining—deserves acknowledgment.

Many of us are navigating transitions, asking new questions, or simply looking for space to breathe and think. This book club was created with that in mind.

Before we begin discussing chapters and themes together, I’m reflecting on the importance of community, conversation, and intentional reading in times of change. My hope is that this book club becomes a steady place—one that offers insight, encouragement, and thoughtful dialogue.

We haven’t met yet, but the foundation is already being set. I’m grateful for everyone who is choosing to begin this journey together.
