Welcome , Let's explore ideas
Join our CCL Book Club on-line chats!
The Carefully Curated Life Book Club will explore all aspects of living a carefully curated life. The Carefully Curated Life community is a place where we learn how to enjoy:
- Designing a home that fits our life,
- Exploring interests that set our souls on fire (mine is gardening),
- And living with the intention to love the ordinary specialness of everyday life.
This book club is not a self-help book study. We will use books to explore ideas and see if they fit into how we wish to live. We will read and chat about interior design, gardening, journaling, lifestyle, classic stories and occasionally a fiction book. We’ll explore beyond ‘like’ and ‘didn’t like’ through compassionate conversations.
There will be no charge. A Carefully Curated Life Book Club will meet via on Zoom. We will continue to meet on zoom as the pandemic evolves, later we might want to have a few in-person. I do want to say even if we go in-person in Louisville I will keep this group via Zoom as I love our diverse group spread out across the country.
I do ask that you sign-up to get the Zoom link. This way you will be notified when the TBD books are chosen. Jump over to this landing page to sign up and for group details.
We have two different meeting times Last Tuesday of the month @ 6:30pm EST and the Last Sunday of the month @ 3:00pm EST.
What is the lineup of books?
I am smiling and laughing at myself - I cannot narrow it down to one Gardening/Plant Book. So let’s chat and that will help guide me.

These are free events ~
I ask that you signup and review the guidelines.
Again, there will be no charge. A Carefully Curated Life Book Club will meet via on Zoom. We will continue to meet on zoom as the pandemic evolves, later we might want to have a few in-person. I do want to say even if we go in-person in Louisville I will keep this group via Zoom as I love our diverse group spread out across the country.
I do ask that you sign-up to get the Zoom link. This way you will be notified when the TBD books are chosen. Jump over to this landing page to sign up and for group details.
Are there ground rules and guidelines?
Yes, just a few -
- All discussions are confidential and kept in the group. This is a safe place to share and discuss our Carefully Curated Lives.
- Listen to everyone openly. Trying to understand their point of view. If you disagree, remain neutral, and work hard to understand the perspectives of others.
- We ask that you try to understand every member’s perspective - that is how new ideas grow.
- You don’t have to have read the book. Please come and listen in order to see if you want to add this book to your reading list
- Please come if you started and put it down because you didn’t like it. We’d like to hear why.
- Dropping in is fine. We are all busy. If you can make it please come.
- Invite others who are interested in exploring all aspects of living. Join our private Facebook group also.
