Introducing The Best Group ๐พ
What if a tennis class became the easiest way to meet new people?
**The Best Group** combines structured, level-based tennis group classes with an optional social matching experience.
Here's how it works:
๐พ Join a tennis group class with players of a similar level
๐ค Having joined a class, you can choose to be matched with **three other people you've never met before** for dinner.
The difference? **Everyone at the table will already have completed a tennis group class with The Best Group.**
Instead of meeting complete strangers with nothing in common, everyone shares the same experience, making conversations feel far more natural from the very beginning.
Think of it as a Timeleft-style social experienceโbut with a built-in shared connection before you ever sit down for dinner.
**Join the waitlist for early access:**

Music Lovers Meetup #6
Our 6th meetup will be to somewhere I've not been to for a long long time, **Acid Bar at Somerset**!
We'll each pay for our own food and/or drink (let's support the venue by purchasing something), and get to enjoy some good music that evening. It is pretty free and easy so if you might need to arrive late or leave early that's fine too.
To join just RSVP and I'll help make the table reservation for the group. **The table for 10 will be reserved under my name Diana, so you can just ask the staff if you don't see us when you get there.**
As we've generally been waitlisted for past events, **appreciate if you can change your RSVP at least one day before if you're not able to make it anymore so someone else can join.** Also, Meetup automatically shifts attendance from waitlisted to attending when someone can't attend (not me!), so do check back in here to see if you have a spot if you're waitlisted to attend.
I'm intentionally keeping the max group size a little smaller at 10 (including me) so it's easier to make conversation too (especially for an introvert like me!)

Things in Nature Merely Grow by Yiyun Li
In July, we will be discussing the book, ***Things in Nature Merely Grow*** by Yiyun Li.
The book is a quietly devastating, deeply philosophical memoir written from an abysmal place of loss, nested within a rigorous exploration of language, memory, and the limits of human grief.
Refusing conventional narratives of healing or closure, this work is both an intimate tribute to two lost lives and an incisive, steely look at what it means to survive the unimaginable.
๐ **Accolades:**
* Winner of the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Memoir or Autobiography
* Winner of the 2026 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction
* Finalist for the 2025 National Book Award for Nonfiction.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**The Story**
โThere is no good way to say this,โ Yiyun Li writes at the very opening of the book. โThere is no good way to state these facts, which must be acknowledged. My husband and I had two children and lost them both: Vincent in 2017, at 16, James in 2024, at 19. Both chose suicide, and both died not far from home.โ
Following her previous book Where Reasons Endโwhich imagined a dialogue with her eldest son, Vincentโ*Things in Nature Merely Grow* focuses deeply on navigating life after the death of her youngest son, James. Where Vincent was verbal and flamboyant, James was a brilliant, autistic prodigy who spoke at least eight languages, read Wittgensteinโs philosophy of language, and preferred silence.
To write about James, Li notes that she has to "learn a new alphabet." She masterfully distinguishes between the two losses: Vincent died from feelings, an acutely sensitive soul for whom life did not prove livable; James died from thinking, concluding through deep philosophical reflection that a livable life was simply not worth the trouble.
Rather than seeking a redemptive arc, Li chronicles the daily, concrete routines that anchor her to the worldโcooking, gardening, learning the piano, and reading the dense texts her sons loved, from Albert Camus to Ludwig Wittgenstein. She fiercely critiques the public and media reactions to her tragedy, choosing a path of absolute, radical acceptance. Like nature, wounds are not neatly sutured, and things merely grow.
โThe verb that does not die is 'to be'. Vincent was and is and will always be Vincent. James was and is and will always be James. We were and are and will always be their parents. There is no now and then, now and later, only, now and now and now and now."
\*\*\*
โA memoir unlike others, strange and profound and fiercely determined not to look away."
โThe New York Times
โTo be in Li's head is a rare privilege--she is a writer of elegance and clarity and is a deeply interesting thinker. And the book, surprisingly, is not sad. It is moving and even funny in places as she writes about her wonderful friends, a few awful strangers, but most of all, her extraordinary sons. You may find yourself transformed after reading it. I did."
โBarrie Hardymon, NPR

How to Move on From the Past and Feel Happy

The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories.
When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier!

Considered by many to be a masterpiece, the film was included in BFI's 2022 Sight and Sound Poll of the greatest movies of all time.
It is available at the library as well as on Kanopy.
