Julie dozes off in front of the fire and experiences another workmare…

Thoughts of Destiny prompt a smoke break. Fran and Gayle step outside to chat while Julie stays comfortable near the fire.

Fireside storytelling begins. Cookies are a springboard into a deeper discussion the includes a bit of Joseph Campbell’s “Hero’s Journey.”
