Purposeful Destiny
Tuesday, July 28th at 6:30pm
Social worker and human service consultant Joan Hoey authored her book, Purposeful Destiny, to help people struggling to find their highest destiny in life.  The book urges readers to reach beyond their own limitations to find a power higher than themselves.

"This book will appeal to people who feel stuck, have lost hope and believe no options exist," Hoey says. "We have all been blocked at some time in our lives, longing for change and fulfillment.  Purposeful Destiny is an invitation to change your life - to free yourself from obstacles, break negative patterns."

Hoey has earned master's degrees in social work and speech communication.  She has more than 20 years of clinical experience as a private practitioner, trainer and human service consultant. 

Seating for this event is limited.  Please register online or call 203-272-2245, ext. 4.  This program is funded by the Friends of the Cheshire Public Library.
