Join us at 2:30 pm for our monthly meeting of the Writers' Alliance of Gainesville. This month's speaker is author, coach, and mentor Dr. Pamela D. Grey.

External influences and stressors can feel overwhelming. The daily demands from work, family, and finances are weighty enough, and we’re also bombarded with media, from news to advertisements and even entertainment. Is it even possible to maintain an optimistic outlook? The answer is yes!

You can learn to improve any situation with a mental outlook that focuses on love, faith, caring, kindness, empathy, and gratitude. You can learn to use valuable techniques to help you keep your priorities in focus, refuse to accept mental negatives such as worry, doubt, resentment, and fear, and accept new, better ideas to restore your balance and optimism.

Author, speaker, coach, and mentor Dr. Pamela D. Grey will share ideas to help you avoid the pitfalls of complacency, stress, and inferior decisions that hold you back in your writing.

The Writers' Alliance of Gainesville (WAG) promotes encourages and supports aspiring and experienced regional writers. This goal is accomplished via monthly meetings, public readings, small critique groups, a literary journal, and writers' contests and collaborations with schools and civic organizations to foster creative expression through the written word.
