— Quote of the Week: From one of my favorite authors – Paolo Coelho: “When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or on saying we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”
— Book of the Week: “Emigrants and Exiles: Ireland and the Irish Exodus to North America” by Kerby A. Miller – award-winning book that thoroughly examines the phenomenon that shaped modern American and Ireland.
