The neglected blog

So much for a monthly post. So many good things to report since my last post. the Mosswood Center Mind Body Spirit series went very well. It started with Qigong with Greg Hicks. We transformed the nursery rooms at the church into a Zen studio. Two weeks later we had a full house for introduction to yoga with Jody Reese followed by mindful eating with yours truly. After 90 minutes of yoga we enjoyed a lunch of spicy lentil soup, brown rice, fresh raw veggies with homemade humus, and an assortment of fresh and dried fruits. The final work shop was the Mandala art with Claudia Vanhorn. The group explored their inner child or hippie, by creating art with found objects. I am sorry I missed this one. We have received much positive buzz and excitement about this project. Plans are in the works for the next series. Also Jean Cooley has generously donated $2000 to jump start the center.
Simultaneously Kathy has the ground work set for The Lakeland Youth Alliance,the first GLBT youth group in Polk County! Westminster has given the go head for the group to use the fellowship hall for meetings. LYA will operate under the umbrella of The Florida Youth Alliance. This will have many benefits including a web site, insurance and fundraising.

With April 1st fast approaching I have been getting ready for The Ride for World Health. Many thanks to all of you who have donated to this worthy cause. To those of you who have not yet donated please visit the RFWH website and click on the "team". You can donate by Pay Pal on behalf of each rider. PEACE and Blessings to all!
