Join speaker Meg Wastie for a lively and entertaining look at the strange—and often hilarious—rituals athletes swear by in their quest to win. From quirky habits to deeply held beliefs, discover how superstition has played a surprising role in sports history.

You’ll hear stories like:
<ul><li>The player who set his alarm for 33 minutes past the hour—and even scheduled his wedding for 3:33 pm.</li><li>The champion who dominated his sport while hiding a secret beneath his baggy shorts.</li><li>The legendary athlete nicknamed “Mr. Vomit,” whose pre-game routine kept trainers on standby with a bucket.</li></ul>

Full of fascinating anecdotes and unexpected humor, this program will change the way you think about what it takes to win.

Meg was an English and Drama teacher at Columbia High School in Maplewood for 32 years.&nbsp; She then served as Curator of Education at the Museum of Early Trades &amp; Crafts in Madison for 15 years.&nbsp; She currently presents programs to schools, senior and adult groups, and public organizations.

This program is made possible with the support of The Friends of the Livingston Public Library.

Spice up your kitchen with the Livingston Public Library’s Spice It Up! program. From seeds to spices, the Livingston Library has everything you need to elevate your culinary creations. We offer more than just ingredients, we provide a journey. Every spice has a history, every seed a legacy. Understanding their origins, the cultures that cultivated them, and the traditions they represent adds depth to your cooking. It transforms every meal into an experience, connecting you to the rich tapestry of flavors and stories from around the world.&nbsp;

Starting Tuesday, September 1st at 10am, you may pick our packaged spice kits by the Reference Desk and by the NEW cookbooks. The spice for September is Black Pepper. Each kit will contain a sample packet of the month’s spice and a QR code leading to the history behind it as well as recipe recommendations.&nbsp;
Kits are sponsored by the Friends of the Library and are available while supplies last.

Interested in exploring other ways to use these spices? Visit the library’s Seed Library where you can borrow and donate seeds for growing flowers, herbs and vegetables. Explore Library Chef, an online platform that offers live virtual cooking demonstrations, and consider joining our Cookbook Club, which meets bi-monthly and shares recipes from a selected cookbook.

Heart & Mind Coaching and Consulting 

I'm a certified life coach with over 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families through academic, personal, and life challenges. With a background in special education, training in clinical mental health counseling, and an LDT-C (Learning Disabilities Teacher-Consultant) certification, I bring a unique blend of educational expertise, coaching, and compassionate guidance to every client I work with. My journey began long before I entered the field of education. Growing up during the Bosnian War taught me the power of resilience, hope, and perseverance. Those experiences shaped my belief that while we can't always control the circumstances we face, we can choose how we respond—and those choices have the power to create meaningful change. That belief is the foundation of Heart &amp; Mind Coaching &amp; Consulting. Whether I'm working with an adolescent building confidence, a parent seeking guidance, or an individual navigating a life transition, my goal is always the same: to create a supportive, encouraging space where people feel seen, understood, and empowered to move forward. At Heart &amp; Mind, I combine evidence-informed strategies with empathy, practical tools, and personalized coaching to help clients gain clarity, strengthen essential life skills, and create lasting, meaningful growth because meaningful change starts with both the heart and the mind.
