Weaving Through the GNAW Project

If you’re like me, you’ve probably heard of the ”The GNAW Project” and “The Weave”, but didn’t really know what it was all about.  Well today I am excited to welcome author Cynthia Meyers-Hanson as our guest blogger.  Grab a cup of coffee and come close as Cindy shares with us the motivation behind these inspiring projects and what we can all do to get involved and help.

What is The GNAW Project?

When free breakfast was canceled and ‘their reduced’ priced lunches went up in cost, some kids came running to my class complaining.  We brainstormed ideas to help the situation.  This book project- done by my students- becomes their vehicle to publicize the plight of some USA kids that need free or reduced breakfasts as well as lunches and dinners.

Nothing in Common???

You know, I was just thinking about and marveling at how writing can cross all boundaries.  Maeve Binchy is one of my favorite authors and has been for a long time.  “Circle of Friends” was one of the first books of hers that I read.  I immediately connected with the anguish and joy of the young woman, who was a little chubby compared to her other friends, but turned out to be the type of woman that the handsome hero of the story couldn’t help but fall in love with. And when the movie aired with that dreamy young Chris O’Donnell giving visual to the imagination, I was hooked for good.

I immediately read every Maeve Binchy book I could get my hands on.  So enamored of her stories and well-rounded characters was I, that it was quite awhile before I realized where she was from.  One day, I finally slowed down long enough to wonder at the name of a city I didn’t recognize.  I was shocked to find out the setting was in Ireland.  Maeve Binchy is actually from Dalkey, Ireland.

Outstanding Read!!!

Just read “Deliver Me From My Enemies” by Sharon Oliver.  This book picks up right where “Keep your Enemies Closer” left off.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book, a page-turner that keeps you reading straight through to the end.  Ms. Oliver brings back the beloved cast of zany characters and introduces us to some very interesting new friends and family members. 

Ms. Oliver is a talented writer who fills this books with people that we care about because we can relate.  Her observations and descriptions are witty and on-point.  This book will have you feeling the full range of emotions from curiosity, shocked disbelief,
