| 3TOWNReminder●Always room for something newSOUTH HADLEY - On June 22 a lively group ofladies welcomed local children’s author, Lisa Maria Lanno to their TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly) meeting for a workshop on handwriting analysis.Lanno called her workshop “Tarograph,” combining Graphology, which is scientific, with Tarot, which is more spiritual. Kay Washburn, the group’s eager leader, was the first to give a sample of her handwriting for Lisa to analyze, followed by everyone else in the group. Who gives too much? Who holds back their feelings? Who needs lots of space? Who has to be in control all the time? These were some of the traits that everyone uncovered about themselves, while lovingly laughing at their friends’ traits as well. Aside from the fun, Lanno gave some guidance regarding the every-day use of handwriting analysis. For instance, a sample would be very wise if they were to be hiring someone to work at their home, as graphology will reveal the honesty and mind-set of the potential employee. There were plenty of questions from the spirited group, including “How can I learn this?” From there, the forum turned to Tarot and the morespiritual side of things. “There was so much positive energy in the room,” said Lanno. Although many of these ladies have lost loved ones, they were curious and excited to ask, “Can we contact someone?” But, that will be saved for another day. To end the hour, Washburn pulled out a copy of“The Secret Cave,” and to Lisa’s surprise, many of the grandmas in the group were quite excited to purchase a copy for their respective grandchildren, signed, of course. Lisa will be back in the fall to speak to TOPS again, as well as “Get Going,” another group at the South Hadley COA. More information about Lanno’s work can be found at www.SecretCave1.com. |
