This first week of August arrived amidst a flurry of activity and events...new session of yoga/meditation classes has begun at Living Light Studios and, last weekend, Reiki training for Master level was joyful and enlightening. The students who find their way to our classes are always a gift; thoughtful and brimming with new insight and perspective. We bond as  "perpetual students" and remember together the simplicity and value of Reiki healing.

If you are in the southern NH area, you are aware of the important work provided for the past 20 years by the Sonshine Soup Kitchen in derry. They offer many, many meals to guests in need along with creating a place of integrity and boundless generosity. Check out their website,  www.soupinderry.org  to see what's new and needed for this organization. Good people doing good work....

A friend told me when I turned 50 to "try and do one thing each week that scares or challenges you." Sage advice that has remained with me for some time. I have tried to raise my children to live fearlessly and to still be smart when they leap. As they all move onto new places and stages in their lives, I think they might all being doing just that...it is humbling to be their mother and witness. 

On a different note entirely, see the film, Food, Inc. if you have the opportunity...its a reminder of our responsibility to all the residents of this Earth, and that we can be empowered by our knowledge. Our food source, the true source, might be a good place to start.
