Vroman's presents: Rebecca Woolf, in conversation with Diablo Cody, discusses All of This: A Memoir of Death and Desire on AUGUST 16,
Tuesday at 7:00pm. After years of struggling in a tumultuous marriage, writer Rebecca Woolf was finally ready to leave her husband. Two weeks after telling him she wanted a divorce, he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. Four months later, at the age of forty-four, he died.
In All of This, Woolf chronicles the months before her husband's death--and her rebirth after he was gone. With rigorous honesty and incredible awareness, she reflects on the end of her marriage: how her husband's illness finally gave her the space to make peace with his humanity and her own.
Stunning, compelling, and brilliantly nuanced, All of This is one woman's story of embracing the complexities of grief without shame--as a mother, a widow, and a sexual being--and emerging on the other side of a relationship with gratitude and relief. (HarperOne)

The Pasadena POPS continue their one-of-a-kind, popular outdoor summer concert series with Michael Cavanaugh singing the best of Billy Joel and Elton John on Saturday, August 27 at the LA County Arboretum. Hand-picked by Billy Joel himself, Cavanaugh got his start as the lead role in the Broadway musical Movin’ Out, which earned him both Grammy and Tony Award nominations. Acclaimed for his highly energized piano and lead vocals, Cavanaugh expanded his repertoire to include an electrifying tribute to Sir Elton John, and he will bring the music of both of these superstars face-to-face for one night only this summer on the Arboretum stage. Tickets start at $25, and are available by calling the box office at (626) 793-7172, online at PasadenaSymphony-Pops.org or at the Arboretum on concert days.

Have You Had Your Yearly Drain Cleaning? Many property owners don’t consider their drains until there’s a clog, an off-putting smell, or their water is backing up. Preventative maintenance is essential for keeping your drains in great shape. When you have your drains professionally cleaned by an experienced plumber at Western Rooter, you can enjoy faster-draining water, prevent leaks and clogs, and save money by avoiding costly emergency plumbing service calls. Here two helpful PDF's, both of which we'd love to share. If only one can be shared, we prefer the HydroJetting flier, as that's more to the point of what we offer. But you're also welcome to include the WhatNotToPutInYourDrains PDF, as it's also good content for subscribers.

Enabling leaders to unlock and unleash their full-potential so they bring greater value and abundance to the people and entities they serve.
Discover and experience the unique and powerful components of the Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching Blueprint pioneered by John Mattone, the #1 authority on Intelligent Leadership and the world’s top executive coach. ILEC’s unique coaching philosophy and blueprint achieves results by igniting and strengthening a leaders inner-core and outer-core, which enables them to realize 4 “game- changing” outcomes that they can leverage as leaders in their business and life: altruism, affiliation, achievement, and abundance (The 4 A’s). The 4 A’s are the seeds to achieving sustained greatness, driving breakthrough results for themselves and their team and creating a legacy that lasts.
