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
First the sweet... Did you know that July is National Ice Cream Month? I'm not usually one to subscribe to silly holidays, but I have to admit...this is one I can get behind. If you're into this sort of celebration, you should also know that tomorrow, July 23, is both National Vanilla Ice Cream Day and National Sprinkle Day. National Sprinkle Day?! Who knew. Other fun ways to celebrate summer... Just a heads up, last week's Aqua Yoga class was rescheduled to next Tuesday, July 28. If that...
I've been doing a little positive scheming lately😏 One of my favorite activities is dreaming up adventures for our community. And two of them are starting to feel so real that I can't keep them to myself anymore. The first is a cozy 2-night getaway coming at the end of September, close enough that you won't need to board a plane. The second is a 4-night adventure planned for January that will have us venturing out of state. That's all I'm saying for now. 🤐 If reading this gives you that...
Someone shared something with me, and it got me thinking... A student told me they had to get an MRI recently, something that used to bring up a lot of anxiety. This time, they used their breath to get through it... and it really helped. I might have actually jumped for joy. As much as I love what happens in the classroom, it's stories like this that I really treasure. Don't get me wrong, I genuinely love witnessing the way you honor your bodies, connect with your breath, and light up when...
