Mr. Personality: Book of the Month and other downtown Newnan ramblings
By MR. PERSONALITY, Special to The Paper
April: the highlights for this month are Passover, Earth Day, and Arbor Day in this order. Each day has its own followers and much shall be written and celebrated for all three days.
Your next new attraction on the Courthouse Square is no less than “The Reverse” located on 13 West Washington Street. The owner is Isabella Moore and her cute little dog Bodie (co-owner).
March 2nd was the epic return of Market Day and there was indeed a great turnout and much fun.
Georgia’ Chocolate Factory is now open at 18 A North Courthouse Square. New and most bright and colorful with a large assortment of sweet treats plus a variety of ice cream. Come see for yourselves!
Tony from “Red Letter Merchant” is having a great 1/2 off sale of all winter coats, now is the time to stock up for next winter. As you rush to each store, be sure to tell them you read about it in John Winters’ free paper.
This is my second issue of my essay titled “Living Life to the Fullest,” and it is written in honor of Iris Apfel, my wardrobe guru and inspiration. Truly a classical example of living life to the fullest. She died March 1st this year at the young age of 102. Her occupation ranged from businesswoman, interior designer, fashion designer and model. She signed to IMG in 2019 as a model at the age of 97. She did indeed live life to the fullest from 1950-2024.
I suggest you, the reader, look up Iris Apfel’s entire story as I am limited to what I can share here, both in substance and in words. In my own mind, I have declared every Monday to be “Fun-It-Up Monday,” in which I shall use my imagination to dress a little more “out there” every Monday in memory of Iris Apfel. Feel free to join me in this effort to pay proper respect to such a colorful personality.
The book of the Month is titled “How to Use the Laws of the Mind” by the author Dr. Joseph Murphy (May 20, 1898- December 16, 1981). He was an Irish-born American author and new thought minister. He followed in the steps of James Allen, Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, and Norman Vincent Peale.
This book deals with the power of your unconscious mind as well as healing, prayer, becoming spiritual-minded, the meaning of evil, the meaning of life, controlling one’s fears, the power of suggestion, marriage, sex, and divorce. I suggest this book be read slowly and more than once. After each chapter, the reader would do well to ponder on the subject matter just before going on to the next chapter.
For the month of May, I shall have a new essay and another interesting Book of the Month.
Peace, Love, and Much Respect,
Until next time, Mr. Personality
