By Eileen Flanagan
Author Eileen Flanagan will be speaking at Creekside Books and Coffee in Skaneateles on March 14 at 2pm about her new book, The Wisdom to Know the Difference: When to Make a Change and When to Let Go. Praised by the Dalai Lama and other notable writers, the book explores how to apply the message of the Serenity Prayer, accepting the things we cannot change, and changing those we can.
Flanagan has been traveling widely since the book’s release by Tarcher/Penguin in September 2009. She is thrilled to return to Skaneateles, where she has visited friends on vacation for a number of years. She will also be leading a retreat at Stella Maris retreat center during the weekend of March 12-14.

Dr. Vance will be focusing on a free children’s scoliosis screening and handing out free healthy living bags filled with free products and samples of healthy products to the first 50 people who stop by his booth.
“There has been an increase of children complaining of neck, shoulder and back pain in the last few years,” said Dr. Neil Vance. “I suggest children ages 5 to 15 be screened for structural scoliosis/abnormal biomechanical problems that can be managed more easily the younger the problem is caught.”
