Melissa Hamilton's Presentation Schedule
Selected articles from Melissa's 2003 presentations at Borders Books & Music in Naperville, Illinois are included for your reference.

I visited Kline Creek Farm, a living history museum that shows farm life during the late 19th century in Illinois. The interpreters shared how women cooked, baked, and tended to daily chores.

Time - A Precious Commodity

The one commodity I wish I could obtain more of is time.  There are a thousand subjects I want to study, countless people I want to meet, and a myriad of places to visit.  I've learned to take each day as it comes, embracing each opportunity and relishing the gift of learning.

My Passion for Learning

Sharing what we learn with others is extremely rewarding.  RomanceEverAfter.com is a venue to share some of the vast reservoir of knowledge with our reading community.  Expanding one's knowledge in the areas of history, world cultures, the arts, poetry, and other subjects absolutely enhance your romantic journey.  True romance is not just about two people but about us as individuals.  To reach our full potential, we must continue to "push the envelope" of knowledge, experience, and self-development. 

I thoroughly enjoy corresponding and meeting the many talented authors that contribute to our enjoyment of life. Kaye and I attended a booksigning where Allie was a guest author. (Left to right)  Allie Shaw, Kaye Hatfield, and Melissa Hamilton

The Opportunity to Interact

As much as I enjoy corresponding with authors, editors, and readers, meeting folks in "real life" is always a joy.  To take a step out of the written word, I speak to groups and do presentation workshops to allow the teacher within me to surface. 

Historical re-enactments bring history to life.  I had the pleasure of attending the Civil Re-enactment held at the Naper Settlement in 2002.

As a speaker, I select topics that will not only be of interest to the audience, but will broaden their awareness to the world around them.  My primary subjects of interest concern speaking skills, entrepreneurship, and self-development.   I typically allow a question and answer session following the presentation. I always include supplemental handouts and additional references for distribution to the audience.

Preparation for these presentations is fun but chatting with an audience afterward is just as enjoyable.

The Journey to Self

Life has its twists and turns, but I believe the journey to self can be just as intriguing.  Every experience and expansion of our knowledge base draws us closer to understanding ourselves. 

I encourage you to "push the envelope" and experience the many facets of what life has to offer.  After all, we are given but one life.  We want to live it to the fullest!

Christmas is a time to appreciate family and friends.  Christmas Morning Brunch 2004!

I love the holidays! We enjoyed Christmas Morning Brunch at my sister's house in 2002.
