We can certainly use some "hot stuff" to warm us through these chilly March days . . . the snow accumulation up here in the north country has been record-breaking, and now rain, more snow and ice challenges our already winter-weary beings!
In February I had the good fortune to attend a Hot Stones Massage workshop, and it was wonderful! The comfort and warmth of the hot stones permeates deep into the muscles, releasing and relaxing the whole body! This allows for deeper massage work to be accomplished . . . warning: this technique is NOT recommended for those with cancer.
On the Three Baskets front, things are happening very quickly! We have received our first donations, totaling over $10,000! This is such exciting news! We are in the process of signing a contract with our fiscal sponsors, and all donations will be tax deductible. Sue and I have been working diligently at getting all the paperwork completed that is necessary for our 501(c)3 status with both the state and the IRS. Sue has been an especially busy gal working on strategy, a business plan, and an operating expense report for Three Baskets.
I will be continuing on the practical front by attending a week-long workshop this month on the technique of Manual Lymphatic Drainage at the Healing Arts Institute in Perrysburg, Ohio (http://www.haiohio.com/).
Sue has also been busy promoting personal and business growth, as well as Three Baskets, through the development of her lecture and workshop series. The first of the series will be presented this weekend at the Women's Wellness & Education Center in Asheville (http://www.ashevillewomenswellness.com/Calendar-of--Sponsored-Events.html). Come on down and join Sue for an afternoon of inspiration!
We are laying the groundwork for what has become a living, breathing, growing entity in and of itself, whose mission is to offer integrative holistic healing, free of charge, to cancer patients and their families. Three Baskets is gaining momentum, and we feel privileged to be a part of it.
Three Basket's first retreat is planned for August of this year, and we are looking for volunteers to help out any way they can! Healing practitioners, business people, techies and spiritual gurus - all are welcome to join in the Three Baskets effort!
