Greetings! 

I just can't believe the government actually shut down. I always think things like this can't happen, but I was proved way wrong this time! So I would like to help all of our friends whose emails end in .gov. If you are a furloughed government worker, we'd like to offer you 10% off in the café until you get back to work. Just show us your government ID and ask for the discount at the cafe register. breathe bookstore café is a nice place to hang out while you wait to get back to work! Free wifi, great food and drink, good books and a nice staff! 

 

Speaking of the café , I would really love to know about your experiences since we opened up food service four months ago -- good, not so good, amazing, so-so --whatever it is I truly want to know your thoughts. So much so that I want you to email me at my personal email address: susanweisbohlen2@gmail.com. Feel free to contact me with your impressions of the "new" breathe bookstore café . Your opinion means so much to me. We are here to serve YOU! Let me know how we are doing and how we can do it better!

We meet from 6 p.m.- 7 p.m. Oh -- you can go right from meditation to the talk on Vastu! Sounds like a GREAT night to me!
