Hi everybody,
Great discussion today with Dr. Duffy. There was an idea brought up about creating another Micro-Community. The working title is called “Raising Healthy Boys” If you’d like to be added to the distribution list in helping to form this community, please reach email me. A few other important notes…
- Our next Zen talk will be on Tuesday, November 8th @ noon central.
- Our next “Special Guest” Zen Talk featuring parenting expert Heather Chauvin will be on Monday, November 21st @ noon central. Believe me when I tell you Heather’s story is inspirational and you won’t want to miss.
- We have seven other Micro-community events in November. Email me if you’d like to be added to any of the distribution lists.
