Guest Speaker: Jason Hyde – Inspirational Author/Motivational Speaker &amp; Corporate Trainer, Author of the book Career Fulfillment Found

Topic: "3 Things All Professionals Must Know to Overcome Frustration &amp; Fear"


Many people today find their career path to be extremely stressful, and many more feel trapped in dead-end or unfulfilling jobs. Unemployed and underemployed professionals can easily become discouraged, since the numbers suggest that the local job market is vastly improved (when it may not be). Based on the current local situation, many job seekers in the area…still can't find adequate work.
Jason is a financial services industry professional who in 2012 wrote the book Career Fulfillment Found, a practical spiritual guide to a fulfilling career. He is a regular Motivational Speaker to local network groups on the topic of career fulfillment. Jason will discuss in detail…how to break free of the negative mindset that can affect both the unemployed &amp; underemployed. 
The primary focus of Jason’s talk will cover 3 practical steps…that a job seeker must take to discover a satisfying career. His presentation will encourage current job seekers who are struggling in their job search to switch gears &amp; discover/find a new, very different path….one that is full &amp; jam-packed, happy, &amp; very successful! So make sure to stop by…for some timely &amp; practical advice. 
LOCATION – Margaret Egan Community Center
ADDRESS – 35 Matthew Street; Milford, CT

Willoughby Wallace Mem Library

The Shoreline Jazz Quartet (Cyril D'Souza-Alto and Soprano Saxophones, Steve Roane-Bass, Mike Bimonte-Drums, Rich Meyers-Vibraphone) presents a concert celebrating the music of Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans.&nbsp;Thelonious Monk's angular and dissonant approach to playing and composing was remarkable and unique. His compositions such as 'Straight No Chaser' and 'Round Midnight' are cornerstones of Jazz pedagogy. Bill Evans was a lyrical pianist whose legacy included swinging and original renditions of standards as well as his own compositions such as 'Waltz for Debby'.

Connecticut Author Launches Multilingual Marian Outreach 

The Mother of God Studios

MILFORD, CT — What began as a personal spiritual journey for writer and composer Barbara Oleynick has grown into an international Marian outreach reaching audiences across multiple languages through audiobooks, digital media, prayer resources, and now a new musical collaboration titled Songs of Mary – Blessed Is Her Name. Oleynick, creator of Blessed Is Her Name, has spent the past several years adapting the life of the Blessed Mother into a modern multimedia experience designed to bring peace, healing, and renewed faith to listeners around the world. The audiobook series is currently available in multiple languages including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Tagalog, Croatian, Hindi, French, and Ukrainian, with narrators and collaborators from around the world helping bring the message to their local communities. “What has moved me most are the personal stories people are sharing,” Oleynick said. “Many have written saying they returned to prayer, returned to the Church, or found peace during periods of grief, trauma, loneliness, or uncertainty through Mary’s story.” The outreach has expanded rapidly online through YouTube, parish sharing networks, and social media platforms, where short devotional reflections and healing-centered messages have resonated with Catholics seeking hope and spiritual renewal. Among the newest initiatives is Walk With Mary to Jesus, a 44-day guided devotional journey inviting participants to reflect daily on the life of Mary through short readings, prayer, and personal reflection. Oleynick is also working with an international creative team on Songs of Mary – Blessed Is Her Name, a new musical collaboration inspired by the spiritual themes found throughout the project. More information about Blessed Is Her Name, the audiobooks, devotional journey, and ongoing outreach efforts can be found at: www.themotherofgod.org
