Hello,
I hope you are well.
The Life-Coach Skills meet-up will be tomorrow, Friday – the 17th of January at 11am at the Hearth in Paonia. Our last newsletter had the date listed as the next week incorrectly, my apologies.
And. . . the Swing Dance Lesson on February 8th will be at 6:30pm at NFSIS (430 Box Elder, Paonia) before the live swing music with the North Fork Community Band. It’ll be fun!
On another note, as we drive to school, we like to keep our eye out for the different wild animals that we can see, an occasional herd of elk, trio of bald eagles, a raven, a woodpecker, and hosts of little birds. It’s nice to keep our eyes open for wildness, even as much of the natural world sleeps in the northern hemisphere, it helps keep that pulse alive and connected.
I hope you are keeping your eye on the wildness within and without as well.
take care,
Arlyn
