We had a great group today at the Solon Senior Center for our Vegetarian Cooking Class. We worked together to prepare three delicious recipes. The group also learned nutritional guidelines for becoming vegetarian, and how to incorporate more vegetarian choices into their diet.

The residents at Stone Gardens Assisted Living loved our Gentle Yoga class today. We offered seated and standing options for each pose, and worked on our strength, flexibility and balance. Our ending meditation helped everyone to feel calm and relaxed.

Many thanks to Home Care Assistance for inviting me to speak at their employee appreciation event. The group learned about Ethical Wills – what they are and how to write them. Most importantly, we discussed several subjects that were meaningful to them and helped define who they are and what they believe in.

  We had a great discussion group today at the Cedar Center Apartments. We talked about the potential for stress in interpersonal relationships, and ways that we can reduce that stress. We reviewed ways that we can change our own thinking and behavior, as well as ways that we can communicate our needs to others. Each participant left with a personalized “action plan” for improving a particular personal relationship in their lives.

Residents of Brookdale Rockefeller’s memory care unit joined with guests from the Board of Developmental Disabilities for a fun and educational cooking class. We made two vegetarian recipes and discussed the health benefits of a vegetarian diet.
