The drivers seat…
Taking control and being in the drivers seat can be scary.
We think the seas could get rough if we head out and explore so we play it safe and stay on land. Which is what we have been doing but canβt find our way to finding our true self.
Look closely, the sea is calm, the breeze but just a whisper and the sun is our compass.
You donβt need a boat to take control and leave the safety of landβ¦you just need yourself. Itβs called mediation.
So climb into your boat and head towards the sun, slowly, calmly with a smile on your face, and close your eyes. Oh and donβt forget to bring your breath alongβ¦inhaleβ¦exhaleβ¦repeat.

Colorful New Art Exhibit at Rose Baker
Juni Van Dyke, Director of the Art Program at the Rose Baker Senior Center, recently unveiled the Artists of the Month exhibit for May and June.
