Dear Folks,
I am always thrilled to be sharing with you via this wonderful site! I
hope
everyone had a great summer. I did and I look forward to lots of good
times
together! To get the ENCHANTMENT started I would like to share
with you the next few times some excerpts from my mother's new book, FEEL
GOOD STORIES! My mom is turning 85 years young and together we
have compiled many of her stories from before she was born to her days
at Reed's Landing, a retirement community in Massachusetts. Her
stories reflect the best of THE ENCHANTED SELF as they are
indicative of our capacities to rise above disappointment and bad
moments and still find ways to experience good feelings, humor,
insight, love and joy! I hope you enjoy these stories.
Her book is available at...

The Movies by Bernice Becker
When I was a small child, I watched many movies in the Shawmut Theater
in Roxbury. It was located close to Eagleton Square, which was
bustling with activity and safe years ago. Today you don't venture
there if you value your life. The Shawmut was more than a movie house.
It was a community center, a second home, a retreat, a social
gathering place, and of course, an entertainment facility. It allowed
thankful parents to get a few hours away from their children as long
as they had someone responsible to take their kids to the Saturday
matinee.
