Greetings!
As I write this newsletter it's around 70 degrees outside! On December 3! Climate Change. Is this related to the end of the Mayan Calendar in just 18 days? Oddly, as we get closer to the end of the long-count calendar, I hear less and less about it. I still have a few 2012 books left on my bookshelf! What do to with those? I guess I will put them on sale on December 22, 2012!
Do have plans for the Winter Solstice? If so, please share them on our Facebook Page. I would love to know what is happening in our community. We haven't yet decided what we are going to do, but I feel pretty secure that I'll be going to work on December 22!
So while you are making your holiday shopping plans please remember all the wonderful, unique, carefully chosen gift items you will find here at breathe and all throughout Hampden! Did you know Hampden has it's own website? You'll find lots of great info about all of our businesses here. And see our Facebook Page detailing First Friday events on the Avenue -- in December it's EVERY Friday! Come early and shop late! Most shops are now open until at least 9 pm throughout the weekend.
Have a great week!
Love,
Susan
Ella and Shadow (our doggy for the next long while!)

 Can you believe this is our 9th Holiday Party! This is the perfect place to be on Christmas Day for those of you who really don't have much to do! As a Jewish girl growing up in Pikesville, I learned that Christmas Day, while inclusive and fun for many families, left some of us feeling excluded from the festivities. So when I opened breathe books I made a commitment to create a warm place for all to gather on this day when it seems like the whole world is closed! So we celebrate in the "Jewish" tradition, with Chinese Food and a movie! And, as always, music with the fabulous Michael Raitzyk and his incredibly talented daughter Rebecca Rose (1:30 pm - 2 pm). The film is TBA, and will be shown at 2 pm. Please bring a vegetarian dish to share. This is always a lovely day and I hope you can join us!
In the meantime, enjoy these videos!: Jewish Christmas; All I Want for Christmas is to be Jewish; and Baltimore's own, Chinese Food for Christmas!
Cost: free/donation from purchases will be made to charity.

You can change your life by incorporating Ayurvedic life-style tools and techniques into your daily routine. Even small adjustments can have a huge impact! Let me help you find the way.
During a private consultation, we determine your dosha (mind/body constitution) through pulse diagnosis and questions and answers. We'll take a deep look at your current balance and imbalances, see how your lifestyle works for or against you, and talk about what you can do about it! 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.
Cost: $150 for one 1.5 hour session, or three sessions for $300 (follow-up sessions are one hour each). Please call 410-235-7323, or email susan@breathebooks.com to schedule your appointment or to learn more! Clients are seen on throughout the week. Phone, Skype and FaceTime appointments are also available.
