Here are some course descriptions from the Institute of Affirmation's catalogue:
BAD HABITS SUPPORT GROUP. Are you a smoker? Do you eat lots and lots of greasy, salty foods and far more than your share of sweets? Or are you a seriously messy and disorganized person? Last time we looked, none of these bad habits was illegal. Join one of our groups and spend some quality time with others like you! For one peaceful hour a week, don't fight it! Lay your burden down. We promise not to try to change or improve you. Weekly meetings are as follows: SMOKERS, Fridays 6-7 p.m., OVEREATERS, Saturdays 9-10 PM, SLOBS, Sundays 2-3 p.m.
DIARY IN REVERSE. Have you ever wished that you had started a diary as a child and kept it up? Wouldn't you love to look back at your thoughts on your twelfth birthday, remember what you did three days before your wedding? It's not too late! In this class, you will have the opportunity to work backwards from today and create diary entries for your great grandchildren to cherish. Don't remember all the details? Not sure you want to record what really happened? We'll show you how to invent days you'll be happy to share. Who's going to know? 6 Wednesdays, 7-9 p.m., beginning October ! 15. Course cost $60. Materials needed: notebooks, pens, and a flexible memory. NOTE: CHANGING YOUR CHILDHOOD is a related course taught by the same instructor but not a prerequisite.
My main character, Jenny Brown, has recently moved to San Diego with her husband Todd, a biologist, who is focused almost exclusively on his work. Both are adoptees who have experienced big disappointments, including their separate searches for their birth mothers. At a time when she finds herself unexpectedly unemployed and increasingly left out of her husband's life, Jenny accidentally joins a class called Acting for the First Time at the Institute of Affirmation. Here she begins an adventure in which her deepest wishes become clear to her and may even come true. In Jenny and Todd's stalled relationship, I'm highlighting a familiar conflict between the intuitive, emotional, and impulsive approach to life and the rational, scientific, and methodical way of thinking. In the context of Jenny's unhappy marriage, lack of career direction, and feelings of isolation, I'm looking at the way hope and happiness can sometimes make surprise appearances in the most unlikely times and places. And I'm saying listen closely--whatever your question, chances are the answer is yes.
