Warning: Contains Oodles of Goodness

Believe it or not, this is the end of summer/kick off to fall newsletter! Wowzers, it is already here. Many of us are mourning summer's end while many are ready to move on to days of more routine & structure with the school bell about to ring. Or maybe, like me, you hold a little of both. Regardless, let us all take a pause, a deep breath, a moment of reflection, to be grateful for all the moments we have been given this beautiful Michigan summer. 

Whether your moments were awesome or not so optimal, each was a gift & an opportunity to open to more life! YOUR life!

Important & Time Sensitive Info: Reminder that the Walk to Stop HIV is rapidly approaching. Please click here to join me as part of Team EmbodyGR on September 10 to help those who struggle with HIV/AIDS in our local GR community. If you register by Wednesday, August 31, it is only $25. Use the link below to register. Those who may need assistance with registration fees please send me an email. And I will be leading the "yoga stretch" opening once again with all of you right with me :)

I am so excited!

On August 31, I will be leading our gathering around the theme "Be Authentic." In a world that is continually giving us messages that we are not enough, that we need to change & conform, let us reclaim our awesomeness, our epic-ness, our amazingness! Let us remind ourselves and each other that we are enough, right now, just as we are. You be YOU, I'll be ME & together we will rock the world! 

On September 7, Peri Jill Phillips will be leading our weekly community gathering in my absence. I will be attending the iUnderstand benefit at Frederick Meijer Gardens to raise funds & awareness for those who have lost loved ones to suicide as well as for those who struggle with mental health. iUnderstand wants to work with EmbodyGR to increase awareness and improve mental health in our community! What an honor to collaborate with such an inspired organization!

With such an exciting fall lined up already, be sure to get your calendars out and mark the dates to guide you on your daily path of living our mantra... "Feel better do good!"

Summer love to you,
Dana
