“Treasure Mapping Your Life" is the title of a talk to be given April 18 to the Emerald Coast Meditation Society. Speaker will be Glenda Wood, a real estate sales agent who also works at Gulf Coast State College as English Learning Manager.


The meeting will start with a 30-minute meditation at 6:30 p.m. at 480 N. Co. Hwy. 393, Santa Rosa Beach, one-half mile north of Hwy. 98. The ECMS is ecumenical and does not follow any religion. There is no charge.


Wood's presentation will be an interactive one on how to get the life you want. It will deal with choices as she asks: “See it to believe it, or believe it to see it?” Each person will design a small “treasure map.” People are asked to bring a magazine to cut up.


A native of DeFuniak Springs, Wood says spending Sundays with her grandparents on their farm on what is now the Eglin AFB reservation, and going swimming in the Bay and Grayton Beach were a special part of her childhood. Both sides of her family have been Floridians since just after the Civil War.


Wood graduated from Okaloosa-Walton Junior College (now Northwest Florida State College) and earned a B.A. degree in Communication from Florida State University. She has worked for many organizations as a public information specialist and a director of public affairs, including three years in Guam and then in Washington, D.C., working for the Navy; and, after returning to Florida in 1980, for state government in the administrations of Lawton Chiles and Bob Graham.


In 1994 Wood formed her own consulting group, Capital PR, providing media, public affairs, and lobbying assistance to a variety of clients in Florida and nationally. Wood also owned a motivational training company, Success Seminars, offering motivation training and coaching to business and government clients. It was through workshops in personal development and motivation that Glenda become more aware of the choices we all have before us, if we are only able to believe that we do.

The evening will conclude with a short guided meditation. The ECMS meets on the first and third Thursday of every month except July and August. Anyone who needs meditation instruction should arrive by 6:15 p.m. For information contact Nancy James, nancyjames@embarqmail.com.

The location has changed. Here is the info:
Christ the King church has informed me it has a function taking place in the parish hall (where we usually meet) this Thursday night. So we will be moving to the John A. Horton Senior Center, on the same road (N. Hwy. 393) but very close to Hwy. 98. In fact any time you have gone to Christ the King, you undoubtedly passed it on your right. It's just past the Von Hoene law firm.
Glenda Wood will be directing us in "Treasure Mapping Your Life," which promises to be intriguing and probably helpful to most or all of us. Please remember to bring a magazine from which you can cut pictures. (If you don't, Glenda will have some extras.)
I look forward to seeing many of you at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, the 18th, at the senior center.


Love, Nancy
