"From The New York Times bestselling co-author of Secrets of the Baby Whisperer, comes this poignant, hilarious, and deeply insightful exploration of how to make the most of life's possibilities-at any age. In this deeply personal and heartwarming book, acclaimed journalist Melinda Blau confronts the stereotypes surrounding life's later chapters, drawing from unexpected friendships with the remarkable women she affectionately dubs "my old ladies." Through intimate storytelling and candid reflections, Blau peels back layers of societal judgment to uncover the hard-earned wisdom and resilience that come with the unfolding of years. From her relationship with Henrietta, a vibrant nonagenarian, Blau discovers that age is less a number and more the unexpected twists and turns of a life fully lived. Zelda, ever the free spirit, shows that the sparkle of youthful passion can persist well into later years-she's nailing tennis serves even in her 90s. And then there's Anne, a Holocaust survivor who proves that at 98, it's still not too late to pen your life story. Yet, Blau's book isn't simply a compilation of friendship tales. It's a wake-up call that encourages us to build meaningful connections across different phases of life.

Daily Prayer for All Seasons [English edition] compiled by Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music and the General Convention Office Fresh new material for a daily prayer discipline Authorized for use by the General Convention of the Episcopal Church Available in English and Spanish (separate volumes) People in all kinds of religious traditions, including Judaism and Christianity, have been marking time with prayer for almost as long as we've divided the day into hours. "Praying the hours," as it's called, has always reminded us that God walks with us throughout each day; "praying the hours" is also a way that the community of faith comes together, whether we're united all in one place or scattered like raindrops. In the Episcopal Church, the Book of Common Prayer offers beautiful services for morning, noon, evening, and nighttime in a section called "The Daily Office" (pp 35-146). Daily Prayer for All Seasons offers a variation on that theme, a shortened version, where a complete service covers one or two pages at most, thereby eliminating the need to shuffle prayer books and hymnals. Daily Prayer for All Seasons works for individuals, small groups, and/or congregations. This prayer book presents a variety of images of God, uses inclusive and expansive language for and about God, and presents a rich variety of language, including poetry, meditation, and prayers from the broader community of faith. For Episcopalians - and others - interested in the daily office and praying the hours.

La "Liturgia de las Horas", también conocida como el Oficio Diario, nos ha recordado a lo largo de los tiempos que Dios nos acompaña a través del día. Las oraciones del Oficio Diario proveen una manera para que la comunidad de fe se una en oración, ya esté esa comunidad reunida en un lugar común o cada individuo aparte. El Libro de Oración Común de la Iglesia Episcopal contiene una sección titulada 'El Oficio Diario' donde se encuentran hermosos servicios para la hora matutina, del mediodía, al anochecer y para la noche/vespertina (págs. 36-112). El libro, 'Oración Diaria para Todos los Tiempos', ofrece una versión abreviada donde un servicio completo se realiza en una o dos páginas como máximo para de esa manera eliminar el intercambio de libros de oración e himnarios.

Provee múltiples imágenes de Dios con lenguaje inclusivo y a su vez ofrece una variedad de géneros literarios (poesía, meditaciones, y oraciones) provenientes de diversas comunidades de fe.
