Today we concentrated on healthy choices and positive attitude! We reminded ourselves about what is in our Circle of Control (our thoughts, actions, decisions) and how to use the "whole brain" in our heads!
Our yoga practice explored trees, and we need to be more like 'em. We discussed how trees grow roots for a strong foundation but are flexible and bend with the wind and endure all kinds of weather. Trees are helpful and provide us fresh air to breathe and shelter/furniture and for some animals a home!
Our "party trick" posture was L handstands or "Banyan Trees." During final relaxation we tried out relaxation clothes, wash clothes soaked in water with a few drops of lavender, peppermint and rosemary essential oils. Some folks preferred the lavender eye pillows!
Our Peace Builder today was Professor Wangari Maathai of The Greenbelt Movement. Here's a video Mrs. Byrd Fort shared: http://www.greenbeltmovement.org/get-involved/be-a-hummingbird
I WANT TO BE A HUMMINGBIRD! How about you?
Mrs. Byrd Fort shared her famous smoothies with us! The recipe is blueberries, pitted dates, spinach, banana--mix with water and BLEND.
We discussed mindfulness while eating and encouraged shopping the perimeter of the grocery store!
Looking forward to tomorrow. We'll complete preparation of our technology presentation for our Grand Finale Program, Thursday, July 3, 11:30-12:00. It's blue and/or purple day! We'll concentrate on getting along with others and what to do when we have trouble with that . . .
Thank you, again, for sharing your children with us! We are having a BLAST together,
D'Etta Broam and Val Byrd Fort
