Rebecca’s Year in Review on a Napkin Instead of making resolutions at the end of the year, we decided to do a review of what we had accomplished in 2016.

Blank Mandala July 2016 Those of you who know us-who have attended one of our workshops or trainings-know that we love mandalas. Big mandalas, small mandalas, coloring mandalas, all kinds of mandalas!

Rebecca–Don Juan Finally Released to His New Home Rebecca recently had her hands full transporting her cat, Don Juan, from DC to Tucson. The trip was an absurd comedy of errors.

In the Washington DC area, we are still digging out, and the kids have been home from school for a week. However, Gioia still had to get to work.
