May 3: Pre Mother’s Day Book Talk with Easton Author Danielle Sanjenis

Join us at Greiser’s at 3:30pm on Sunday May 3 for a conversation and reading from “You Can’t Scare Me, I Have Three Daughters”

Danielle Sanjenis is a crystal healer, certified yoga instructor, and — first and foremost — a Girl Mom. She has written a series of children’s books inspired by her daughters and created PinkMoonwater gem oils and affirmation cards, incorporating her devotion to self-care, guidance, and empowerment.

Sanjenis divides her time between Easton and New York City with her husband and two beloved dogs as each of her daughters embark on their own journey. She surrounds herself with all things French.

Her memoir, You Can’t Scare Me, I Have Three Daughters, is an intimate dive into the evolution of a woman who truly found herself through motherhood, reinvigoration, and the courage it takes to stay soft beneath a tough shell.

Told with wit, insight, and vulnerability, Sanjenis opens the door to her life-painted in pink, lined with resilience, and anchored by her unapologetic personality-where parenting is as much a journey as it is an art, and wisdom blossoms from life’s most challenging moments.

Growing up without a clear sense of who she was, Sanjenis spent her early adulthood questioning her instincts and deferring to others for approval — seeing the world, but uncertain of her place in it. Her book shares her journey of learning to embrace uncertainty where she once craved control, as her blooming confidence replaced the once-blurred lines of her identity.

It was through her daughters that Sanjenis says she first began to feel seen, and she found her strength reflected in the mirror of their love. As a mother, she vowed to raise daughters who know themselves deeply — unafraid to voice their opinions, lead with conviction, trust their intuition, and set boundaries. Women who make bold, beautiful choices that are entirely their own, and walk away from what doesn’t serve them — even, and perhaps most especially, when it isn’t easy.

Sanjenis calls herself living proof that no matter how put together your life may seem — or even truly be — sometimes things have to fall apart, or at least shift, to make room for a kind of growth you never could have imagined. Because as scary as it feels, life begins at the end of your comfort zone-and only then can you truly find yourself.

Adulthood, as Sanjenis has come to learn, is a never-ending coming-of-age story.

Meet Easton Author and Career Coach Cathy Alfandre

Join us for a book talk at Greiser’s on the afternoon of Sunday, April 26

In her 20 years as a career coach, Cathy Alfandre has heard a lot of bad boss stories. If you’re suffering under one, you’re going to want to hear her book talk!

A longtime Easton resident who holds a joint MBA/Master of Industrial Relations degree from Cornell University and an undergraduate degree from Yale, Cathy Alfandre is the author of a new guide for dealing with what she calls a “malignant manager” — including strategies to cope, rebuild your confidence, and navigate a career transition.

Her book identifies seven types of these bad bosses and provides a series of actionable ideas to survive them and move on.

“If you’re suffering because of the harmful behaviors of your manager, you’re not alone. … What’s most painful is that these managers take a mental and physical toll on the people who report to them. Blows to self-confidence… paralyzing fear… creeping doubts about skills and qualifications… deteriorating performance… illness… reverberating impacts on family life…. All of these and more can result from mistreatment at work..”

— Cathy Alfandre

Beyond shining a spotlight on the problem, Alfandre says she provides “a wide array of practical strategies to help you cope, regain confidence, and re-establish your well-being, even if you can’t or don’t want to leave your job right away. “

You may benefit from this book if:

  • You currently have a malignant manager – or suspect you do – and want specific strategies to break free.
  • You know someone who’s suffering at work because of their manager, and you want to provide fresh ideas, strategies, and support.
  • You’re a coach or therapist working with someone facing a malignant manager.

Ultimately, Alfandre says her purpose is to help readers (and those they love) feel seen and heard and to renew a sense of hope, confidence, and strength on the job. “We all deserve the opportunity to have fulfilling work lives and to use our skills and talents to create real impact,” she says. “Life is too short to spend precious hours suffering at work.”

Join us to meet and hear from Cathy Alfandre at Greiser’s, 3:30 PM on Sunday, April 26. Please register in advance here. Ticket price of $18 includes a signed book.

Meteorite Night at Greiser’s: Now at 5PM, April 19, 2026

Rescheduled from earlier date. Join Our Annual Celebration of Easton’s Claim to Astronomical Fame with Our Star Speaker-Barista and Published Expert Frank Pagliaro

Originally scheduled for December 14, 2025, this event was rescheduled for January 25, 2026, then again due to snow for April 19!

Every December at Greiser’s we celebrate the cosmic 1807 event that put Easton at the center of scientific exploration.

Celebrate and learn about the world-famous meteorite that was observed by Eastonites in the sky before it landed on farmland here on a winter night, 218 years ago. The event is known as the first documented observation of space stuff landing in North America.

Chunks of our town meteor (officially and misleadingly known as the Weston Meteorite) are held in collections around the world, from the Yale Peabody Museum in New Haven to the Vatican Observatory in Italy. Thanks to our own so-much-more-than-just-a-barista Frank Pagliaro, history was corrected with his 2009 scientific paper, published with the geologist M. Robson, “Weston: Revised position for a historically significant meteorite fall,” in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science.

On Sunday, April 19, 2026, from 5pm – 7pm, come to enjoy Frank’s entertaining and informative talk while noshing on an assortment of homemade celestial canapés and cosmic cocktails.

Warning: There’s a strong chance you’ll depart this event inspired to obtain a metal detector and launch a meteorite hunt on your own property. One of our past lecture guests returned the following year for show-and-tell with the specimen he dug up in his own back yard!

This event is almost SOLD OUT! Please book your spot in person at the store or online here now!
