Hello Friends,

Good gracious, this is some crazy summer weather isn’t it ? ! Foolishly, I thought Mother Nature would give us some sort of reprieve after what she put us through this past winter!  I do hope you all are keeping yourselves well hydrated and as cool as you’re able. Personally, I find ice cream to be medicinal this time of the year 🙂

My summer special of 30 minutes for $30 continues through Labor Day. Thank you all for supporting this so well, I so appreciate it and am so grateful!  Practicing good self care isn’t easy for most of us, but we all know that “you can’t pour from an empty cup” .  To schedule, please feel free to call (518-237-5587) or email @ tcharney@nycap.rr.com or message me on Facebook at Mary’s Healing Hands.

Chair yoga classes in August are only on :

Thursdays 10 am @ the Waterford Community/Senior Center  $4 per class, open to the public

* Please note that for the month of August, there will be no classes at the Halfmoon Senior Center due to a scheduling conflict. *

Mark your calendars for a couple of fun events in September.  On Labor Day weekend, it’s the Southern Vermont Garlic & Herb Festival and it’s wicked good fun!  Get more info at lovegarlic.com.  On September 8th and 9th, it’s the 9th Gathering of the Tribes at Browns Farm in East Greenbush. It’s a fantastic pow wow with Native American dancing & drumming, only $5/ kids under 12 are free. I’ll be there with friends doing chair massage and I’d love for you to experience the great energy at this event. More info at http://gatheringofthetribes.weebly.com .  Finally, on September 15th & 16th, Waterford is holding its annual Village Wide Sell Out. Bob and I will be participating as usual on Saturday and we’ll have loads of great junk on our front lawn to sell cheap! 🙂

Please try the stretch video of the month from my fav physical therapists on Youtube:

Please take care my friends. The heat/humidity, mercury in retrograde, lots of stuff changing…take time to breathe and center yourself quietly, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Remember, this too shall pass 🙂

Peace and love,

Mary
