Kids are Little in Size, but Big at Heart!

Children have extensive imaginations and endless amounts of energy but sometimes they are unable to channel it constructively. Examples include graffiti on your walls with Sharpies and self-given haircuts. Finding yourself in these situations can be frustrating for parents. Enter the Super Yogis' Schoolhouse, a program for kids and teens brought to you by Rina Jakubowicz. Rina has created a way for kids to harness their creativity and use it to explore yoga poses, story-telling, art, games, music, gardening, movement, communication techniques, embracing emotions, improved play time, and nutrition. All learning is based on fun, feeling empowered and being uplifted. To learn more, click HERE.*

Homeless Teens Pining for a Piano!

From Mary Andrews:  REPLY

We have some really talented teens at Miami Bridge shelter for homeless youth. Some of them have a natural ear for music, and we want to help them foster it. In particular, they would love to have an electric keyboard or even an upright piano. The more they are encouraged to develop their love for music, the more positive their lives become as a whole. This makes a tremendous difference in their lives. If you know of anyone who has a keyboard or piano they can donate to our wonderful shelter to help these kids, we would be forever grateful. Please reply if so. Thank you!*
