Comment by Barb J. (MA) on 06 Jun 2009 at 8:20 amGood morning KarenI read somewhere that you turn 50 this month. It was listed in a newspaper article the other day. Upcoming June BD’s Karen Overhill 50. Date Unlisted Happy Birthday!
How do you feel becoming 50, integrated and alive? Did you ever imagine living this long? Great news! My reading group picked your story for August Book Club. I read ST, love RB and you. Can’t wait to discuss the book with the group. Will let you know mid August. BTW Thank you to you and RB for providing a site for people to go to. I was thrilled to learn more of the both of you.Great work.
Dear Barb J,
Thank you for the birthday wishes! Yes, the article was correct, I turned fifty this month. I don’t feel any different being fifty. As a matter of fact, I feel young. I’ve missed so many years that I feel I have yet to begin to live my life to it’s fullest. Age is irrelevant to me. I connect with the mind and spirit and can’t really comprehend the passage of time.
No, I never imagined living this long. I was told repeatedly as a child I’d die before my teen years. I’m really surprised to have lived to the age of fifty. I think of it as an accomplishment. I feel I’ve earned every year that I stayed alive.
I am glad to hear that your book club picked up Switching Time for your book club selection. If you use the trade paper back version of the book, there are readers group questions at the end. It will be great to hear how the discussion went and how many questions came up.
Thank you for your compliments. It’s nice to hear that our web site provided the information you needed to learn more about multiplicity, Dr. Baer, and myself.
Have a great day!
Karen
