QUOTE OF THE DAY

"The world can only change from within."

--Eckhart Tolle

EDITOR'S NOTE
Hello everyone! What a glorious Easter weekend it has been. We find ourselves here at StolenBoy.com blessed with all that is. We’re also very busy these days working with Friends of the Library here in Ventura, California. Due of budget shortfalls, Ventura County is set to close down one of Ventura’s only two libraries, called Wright Library. This is a nightmare for anyone who has ever worked with or around the written word.

Kids and adults alike will suffer from not having access to all the wonders a library has to offer. And we’re not the only county in America suffering thru such financial crisis. It appears that libraries all over face the same dim prospects of losing the written word. Thus, we’ve been inspired to become creative in efforts to raise enough money to keep the library functioning until some sort of governmental bailout can kick in to save it. According to Ventura County Library Director, Jackie Griffen, we need to raise at least $280,000 to keep the library open.

Thus far, we have raised nearly $80,000, and the library is scheduled to remain open through the end of August. If you have any interest in helping to keep our library doors open, I encourage you to please donate your time or money. Checks can be sent to the San Buenaventura Friends of the Library at P.O. Box 403, Ventura, CA, 93002. The organization’s telephone number is 805.644.9247. Your time and consideration on this matter are greatly appreciated.

TRANSFORMATIONAL THIRD THURSDAYS

Thursday, April 16th, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.

We filled Ventura’s new “literary watering hole” this past month with Lightworkers bent on making positive change for themselves and the world that surrounds them. High vibrations filled Bank of Books as we all worked together toward building a nest of everlasting peace on this planet and in our hearts. If you’re ready to learn what is necessary to become the change you want to witness in the world that surrounds you, then join us this Thursday, and every third Thursday from April through December, for Transformational Third Thursdays.

Our monthly consciousness workshop and discussion group, based on the teachings of Eckhart Tolle’s, A New Earth, will be meeting again this Thursday, April 19th, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Bank of Books, located at 748 E. Main St., Ventura. Come and help us tap in to the incredible energy that awaits each of us in A New Earth. Understand what it takes to change our world for the better, and learn the keys to transforming ourselves into something much more powerful than we might ever have imagined possible.
