Facilitators Mary Kirkpatrick and Blair Frank will help us focus our prayers and intentions on one element on the third Wednesday of each month (May–August) at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha). The group will be patterned after the work of Lynne McTaggart who wrote <em>The Intention Experiment</em> and <em>The Power of Eight: Harnessing the Miraculous Energies of a Small Group to Heal Others, Your Life and the World.</em> Join us in creating sacred space and nurturing our relationships with Source, Earth, Self and Others! Mary Kirkpatrick is a gardener, permaculture designer, former Master Gardener and retired family life educator for Iowa State University Extension. Blair Frank is an herbalist, permaculture designer, avid gardener and lover of nature and Earth. He is a retired United Methodist pastor and nurse. Both Mary and Blair have attended earth-related workshops at Findhorn Retreat Center in Scotland. We will gather outdoors, so please dress for the weather. <em>If we are unable to meet in person due to COVID-19, this will be offered virtually via Zoom. </em>A free-will offering will be gratefully accepted, and registration is appreciated but not required. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2020-04-29 17:00:00 -0500

Her father opposed the idea of sending girls to college, being of the opinion that they would be better off working as waitresses to prepare them for their life’s work as housewives. Nancy ignored his advice and went on to UC Berkeley, where she supported herself by working in the campus library. In addition to the pleasure of working around books, the job had an added benefit of allowing student clerks to disappear into the stacks and read when work was slow. Nancy majored in English literature and graduated from Berkeley with honors.</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="jftr" data-offset-key="bggh5-0-0"><div data-offset-key="bggh5-0-0"><span data-offset-key="bggh5-0-0"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="jftr" data-offset-key="78lnp-0-0"><div data-offset-key="78lnp-0-0"><span data-offset-key="78lnp-0-0"><span data-text="true">Her first job was as an associate editor for a small, long-vanished publishing house in San Francisco. When her two daughters were born, she stayed home and began writing freelance articles for a local paper, as well as teaming up with her husband, Bill Boyarsky, on magazine articles. They lived in Sacramento for ten years, while her husband covered the state capital and political campaigns for the Associated Press.</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="jftr" data-offset-key="2gilv-0-0"><div data-offset-key="2gilv-0-0"><span data-offset-key="2gilv-0-0"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="jftr" data-offset-key="3l2nm-0-0"><div data-offset-key="3l2nm-0-0"><span data-offset-key="3l2nm-0-0"><span data-text="true">The family moved to Los Angeles when Bill joined the staff of the Los Angeles Times. When her girls were in their teens, Nancy gave up freelancing and returned to full-time work, first as associate editor of Los Angeles Lawyer magazine and later as communications director for political affairs for ARCO. She quit ARCO when the first of her two granddaughters was born. Since then, she has devoted herself to writing and editing. Her primary hobby is painting portraits and images from old family photos dating from the early 1900s. She loves reading fiction, the theater, films, and travel, especially to the UK where the theater and books are a national passion.</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="jftr" data-offset-key="en4ov-0-0"><div data-offset-key="en4ov-0-0"><span data-offset-key="en4ov-0-0"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="jftr" data-offset-key="46a61-0-0"><div data-offset-key="46a61-0-0"><span data-offset-key="46a61-0-0"><span data-text="true">Nancy Boyarsky coauthored Backroom Politics, a New York Times notable book, with her husband.
