More info from Monterey Herald events:
The first Books & Brunch will be held on Sunday, Jan. 24, 2016 from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
· “Eating With Grace: Learning to Feed Your Body and Nourish Your Life.”
· Join Rev. W. Grace Nicodemus for a special discussion on feeding our bodies and nourishing our lives.
· This is a book about permission. It’s a book about feeling good and eating well, and learning that both are worthwhile. It’s about understanding that the “bread of life” is more than a plate of food, that food is only part of what nourishes us.
About the author:
· Rev. Nicodemus spent her youth trying to compensate, measure up, be enough, and learning to associate her worth with her weight. After enrolling in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, she learned how much more there is to nourishment than food. She learned what it truly means to eat healthy and how to prepare nutritious meals to the benefit and satisfaction of her family. She also became a certified health coach, knowing that her greatest healing would come through helping others along a similar path.
· The newly released “Eating with Grace,” told by Rev. Nicodemus and written by author Lisa Crawford Watson, is a story of Rev. Nicodemus’s own journey toward wellness, which removes blame from the consumer, looks at what’s really going on behind our food and our feelings, and offers up a safe haven for the rest of us to recognize ourselves and the way out of whatever it is that weighs us down.
· Pairing her story with information and exercises, plus Chef Paola Mikes’ healthy recipes, and photographer Philip Geiger’s enticing color images of delicious food, Rev. Nicodemus serves up plenty of food for thought — and action.

What an awesome sounding series – I wish there would be a similar one up here in the Santa Cruz Mountains – there are a zillion wineries! 🙂
Ask authors and wineries to set it up! I bet they’d love to try an event.
I used to work in high-end special event production in the Silicon Valley – I could do it! 😉
However, I’m on a deadline to complete my memoir “Birth of a New Brain” and turn it in to my publisher Post Hill Press. Almost everything else in my life is being put on hold except my children, my dog, and oh yes, my husband! 😉
