"The only way to have a friend is to be one." - Ralph Waldo Emerson This is a group of open-minded, outrageously fun, warm, intelligent women who grew up during the 1960's and 1970's from various backgrounds.  Once a month, we read and discuss a book selection that members recommend.  Everything from fiction, nonfiction, memoir, self-help, suspense, to well crafted romance.   These gals do more than read.  They also enjoy regular game nights of bunco or board games, with coffee and conversati …

Who are we? Collectively, we are part of the largest percentage of the population, born between 1946 and 1964. We are strong women who are re-inventing age, seeing ourselves at least 12 years younger. We know who we are and what we want.  We are generally tired of social scenes where we are not as young as most,  but, certainly not "old"!  We wish we could just hang out, relax, and have fun with others our own age. We are on TOP of the proverbial "hill", not ready to start going downhill! We are …

Greetings Book-Loving Mamas of Portland, I moved to Portland a year ago and have a 7-month old son. Have always loved to read and would love to be a part of a book club where moms can meet other moms, engage in their love of books and have their babies with them if they cannot get a babysitter. Specifically, I say we work our way through the Top 100 Novels List as devised by the Modern Library. A stellar selection of books for those who love the classics. To view the list, click the link below: …

Most of my life I have struggled with low self-esteem and not feeling valuable or worthy of most things in life. I had dreams, but I would self-sabotage them because I felt I didn't deserve them. I had trouble making friends because I felt like people really didn't like me. I was tired of feeling this way and a little over 4 years ago I started on a journey that has changed my life. I have met a lot of great people who have helped me in many ways, and I have made a lot of great friends - by look …
