We had the opportunity to recognize our own personal yoga instructor, Mary, yesterday. Mary was introduced to our community two years ago when her brother-in-law, Bill, became part of our community. About 2 months in, Mary asked if she could facilitate a yoga class... she was hooked and so were we. She still faithfully leads yoga class every Monday and Thursday mornings. In talking to Mary, she said she was hoping for a place to care for Bill well. What they got instead was a caring family and she can't miss seeing her family every week. So whether we like it or not, we are stuck with her... We think we will keep her!
