PR E VIE W S Author Janice Kaplan to Discuss Power of Gratitude
What started as a challenging idea – to spend a full year living gratefully – became a life-changing experience for author, magazine editor and producer Janice Kaplan. Her inspirational memoir, The Gratitude Diaries: How a Year Looking on the Bright Side Transformed My Life reached the New York Times bestseller list. Gratitude will her topic on Wednesday, March 18 at 7 pm at the Tucson Hebrew Academy at 3888 E. River Road in Tucson for the second annual Rabbi Lee A. Kivel Lecture on Jewish Life, open to the public and presented by the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona. Janice promises that attendees can profoundly change their family relationships with what she will share in the lecture. “Improve relationships with your children, your spouse, and the whole family. Knowing how to appreciate your children brings gratitude to their lives.” She also will talk about gratitude at work, “how it can help transform a workplace and make you more successful.” Registration at the door, for $10, opens at 6:30 pm. Janice’s keynote will be followed by breakout sessions related to gratitude with community rabbis. Refreshments, book sales, and a book signing will follow the program.
