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
For my happy hour friends! Spring Creek Garden Center has officially finished their brand-new event room and we are going to hand craft yoga there on Wednesday, November 19! Use one of your passes and join me from 5:30 to 6:30 pm for an all-levels class. Click the button to RSVP for yoga: Count me in for 11/19! Their new restaurant, The Desert Spoon, is now open just across the garden path, and they have happy hour specials until 8 pm (on Wednesdays and Thursdays). So here’s what I'm...
I have 2 too many comics like this saved to my computer: Happy Halloween week! Here I am with my brother, Marco, in 1996(ish?). I remember loving this costume. I thought rodeo clowns were hilarious. Shout out to mom for the awesome handcrafted costumes! Don't trick yourself! Just a reminder: Daylight Saving Time ends on this coming Sunday, Nov 2. We “fall back” one hour at 2 am... so enjoy that extra sleep and double-check your clocks before class on Monday! Not this Saturday, but next: Mark...
And a little gratitude... This week, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for showing up to class, for rolling out your mat even when life feels full, and for flowing with me when I have to shift the schedule (reminder: no class next week!). Your flexibility, in every sense of the word, means the world to me. And since gratitude always pairs well with something sweet, I wanted to share a treat that’s been on my mind for weeks now. My friend Chef Sally (you know her, you love her) and I...
