The Howell Carnegie Library is presenting a concert by Alberta Adams on Sunday, January 29 beginning at 2 pm. The concert will be held on the main level of the library.

In show business since the 1930s, she has toured with T-Bone Walker, Louis Jordan, Cleanhead Vinson and even played the Apollo Theater with Dizzy Gillespie. She continues to represent the real old school in music, returning to the Apollo last spring! Alberta received two historical awards from the State of Michigan in 2009 and has more Detroit Music Awards than she can count. She is a Lifetime Achievement Award winner from the Detroit Blues Society.

As is evident in the news and in our communities, being employed and remaining employed is a challenge for many. Hope for the future seems elusive and help seems rare. With this in mind, St. John’s Lutheran Church and the Family Impact Center are partnering to bring hope and help to our community through Jobs for Life (JFL).
This educational program provides the ability to connect to and care for root issues of the heart and provide practical building blocks to healthy character. Through a strategy that combines work readiness training, Biblical principles and volunteer mentoring, JFL teaches key workplace essentials to finding and keeping a job with training topics that include attitude, integrity, respect for authority, vocational planning, taking responsibility, job search techniques, effective communication and perseverance.

Earlier this month I participated in a monthly meeting of a wonderful book club hosted by the Brighton Yoga Center. The selected book for the month was “The Soul of Leadership” by Deepak Chopra. I have always been an avid fan and student of leadership so I was eagerly looking forward to this month’s session.
The group started off by introducing themselves. As we went around the room many started to express a similar feeling. It was “when I came today I wasn’t sure how much this book would apply to me, I am not a leader”. It was interesting, as more and more expressed the same feeling I wanted to yell louder and louder “YES YOU ARE!”
