Greetings!
It felt so great to vote yesterday. I actually had tears in my eyes when I voted FOR Question Six, Marriage Equality. And now we all know the results and I couldn't feel more joy. It's about time! And Obama got right back to work today - right on! I know he will work from his heart during this last term and hopefully leave us all in a better place. Seems so appropriate that he should lead us through 2012 and onward. So I've learned that from a little water damage beauty can emerge! I walked into the shop last Wednesday and discovered Sandy had visited us in a big way. A 12-foot expanse of wall in the hallway was soaked. Water had come through tiny holes in the brick and left the wall rippled and cracked. My handyman Mike was able to come by just yesterday and began peeling away over 100 years of paint and wallpaper to reveal a very very cool wall of plaster and sand and mysterious wooden plugs! I love  it! It looks like an old Italian villa. After about a minute of thought, I asked Mike if we could leave it the way it is. He also really liked the idea. We'll cover it with a layer of sealant and have this most interesting hallway! Should look just great with the new cafe!
We have a slew of great events this week and weekend. Please see them below. We have a visiting author, Halle Eavelyn, here this Saturday talking about her spiritual travel memoir of her time in Egypt. There will be slides!
Come on by and let me know what you think of the new wall! Sometimes we just have to peel away a few layers to reveal deep beauty.
much love to all!
Susan

Ella and Shadow! We've been taking care of my mother-in-law's dog Shadow for a few weeks. Oh she brings even more love and joy to our house!

Saturday November 10, 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. Body Beloved - Heart of Tantra with Sherry Tuegel
The seeds of unconditional love must be planted within. Delight and acceptance of our bodies creates a rich and fertile soil. With deepening practice and patience those seeds will blossom to release a joyful fragrance infusing our lives with the sweetness of bliss.
Using self-inquiry we will look at where we reject parts of our ego personality, our body realities and our spirits. Accepting the truth  of that rejection, we work to embrace, transcend and include it. Through dance, laughter, meditation, and this intimate inquiry, we open toward ourselves in a new way. Happiness Awaits!

Her wicked wit and transparent vulnerability combine to speak directly to the hearts of her students.

I work with you to create a plan to restore you to full harmony and balance. You'll learn how to come back to your natural way of being through food choices and nutrition, daily routine, behavior, exercise, meditation, breath work, career choices, family lifestyle and more.
