Dallas Pierce Book Signing
 Thursday May 7th, 6-8pm
 

​

Meet Dallas Pierce in person and get your copy of his best selling novel “Xandra: How I lost myself finding her”

 

Hear about Pierce's descent into a relationship that defied logic yet seemed inevitable.  Accessing risks and responding to threats at some of the largest corporations in the world, Pierce was unable to foresee the biggest of all and she was standing right in front of him - his own girlfriend. Reading at times like a memoir, a psychological thriller, and a modern-day horror story, Pierce describes his girlfriend like a hand grenade with a loose pin. 

​

What happens when the person you can’t live without is the same person you may not survive?

​

Come hear Pierce read some passages from his novel and you’ll be hooked!

 

He’ll also open for Q&A and sign copies for those who have them or can't leave without one.

If you can't make the event please order it from our Bookshop.org affiliate link. Every purchase supports the store.

​​​​​Happiness from a Different Source

 

We tend to look for happiness outside ourselves, thinking that if we arrange everything perfectly, we would be truly happy.

We could change our home or our partner countless times, but until we change our restless, discontented mind, we will never find real happiness. It is time we sought happiness from a different source. Happiness is a part of the mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within us.

Learn the true source of happiness within our own peaceful mind through the practice of Buddhist meditation.

- Kadam Amy Peng, Teacher​​​​

Here is our meditation teacher, Lekso. Here for you on Tuesday nights for meditation class.
