Winnie has a couple of requests
Here is the first...
This little lady is serious about the Food Drive! She doesn't mean to beg, that is just her face. She can't help it!
Don't worry, you have plenty of time to bring your stash to our lobby sometime before Nov 30th. We will take it to Provisions Food Pantry in Bulverde on Dec 1st.
We are grateful for any and all items you are able to give, but their most needed items are canned goods, dry rice & beans, peanut butter & jelly, and bathroom products.
Of course, they also take cash donations! Each $1 donated equals $7 in purchasing power through their partner at the San Antonio Food Bank. So if you can't decide what to bring, don't want to haul a bunch of bags, and would rather write a check... feel free to make it out to "Provisions: Bulverde Food Pantry."
Winnie's second request...
It's time for a paws! Please mark your calendar for the few classes she's taking off next week for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The Wednesday 11/22 noon class will be the last one before we retreat to spend time with family.
There will not be a 5:30 pm class at the garden center or a 7 pm class at the studio on Wednesday 11/22. And there will be no classes on Thanksgiving Thursday 11/23.
We will be back to our regularly scheduled programming on Monday 11/27.
I've sung it before and I'll sing it again...
In my 10 years of teaching, we have practiced a pose called Bridge many times. Of those many times, probably about 10% of the time, I get the urge to sing you a song.
Not just any song, no. This one is very special, and it happens to be called The Bridge. And, it happens to be written by my brother Marco!
It came up in class today, so I decided to reach out to my brother and see if I could share his song with you. I'm delighted that he said yes.
So, for those with curious ears, please feel free to click the link below to visit Google Drive and enjoy one of my favorite songs: The Bridge!!
| Sure, I'll have a listen! |
This feels like a great time to share my collection of back-scratchin bears. If you watch them while the song is playing, it looks like they're dancing!
Maybe you'll try some of their moves next time we have knees to chest, rolling around on our backs🤣
With love,
Monica
Hi, I’m a creator
But first things first As we ease into Thanksgiving week, I want to take a big breath with you: the kind that softens the shoulders, unclenches the jaw, and reminds us that gratitude isn’t just a holiday theme… It’s a practice. Like yoga, gratitude becomes a practice when we turn our attention toward it with intention. It is a practice of noticing what is already supporting us, instead of what we think is missing. Sometimes it is as simple as pausing to name one thing that feels good,...
...in the food drive! Just in case you're not able to bring items to our collection bin by Wednesday, there are still some easy and meaningful ways to support the food drive from wherever you are. Provisions keeps an Amazon Wish List stocked with the items they most need, and anything you purchase is shipped straight to them. It’s an easy way to make sure your contribution lands exactly where it’s needed. They also accept online donations through their website. Monetary gifts are incredibly...
We're back at Spring Creek Garden Center! In case you missed the announcement, you're invited to join me next Wednesday, November 19, at one of my favorite places in Spring Branch for Flow & Feast (the seasonal rebrand of Happy Hour Yoga, lol). We’ll break in the new event space with an all-levels yoga class from 5:30 to 6:30 pm, then enjoy an elevated happy hour at their new on-site restaurant, The Desert Spoon! It’s the kind of evening that hits all the right spots: nature, breath,...
