The K.L.E.O. Center is an official site of the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Every 1st Wednesday of Every Month from 3:30 - 5:30. Over 6 tons of free food! Located in the parking lot of the K.L.E.O. Center located at 119 E. Garfield. (Garfield & Michigan). Such a wonderful event to be a part of, I demonstrated some simple yoga postures that can be done while sitting in a chair as well as speaking on the benefits of yoga as it pertains to ones overall health and wellness, the audience loved it and all participated!!

June 2-5, 2011......It's fair to say I have mixed feelings about this conference, my presentation was great and well received. I have a clearer picture of what my vision of holistic nursing looks like, and I will continue working towards making that a reality!!!  It was SUPER HOT in Kentucky, Liz & I had a good time shared MANY laughs & now were ready to get down to business with our vision of holistic nursing in Chicago.....STAY TUNED#wereaforcetobereckonedwith

Thomas Merton.....I spoted this on my way in, and was oh, so happy to stumble upon this piece of art during a evening walk.......A few of Thomas Merton quotes I LOVE!

"Fear narrows the little entrance of our heart. It shrinks up our capacity to love. It freezes up our power to give ourselves."


"Love is my true identity. Selflessness is my true self. Love is my true character. Love is my name."

"If I do not know who I am, it is because I think I am the sort of person everyone around me wants to be. Perhaps I have never asked myself whether I really wanted to become what everybody else seems to want to become. Perhaps if I only realized that I do not admire what everyone seems to admire, I would really begin to live after all. I would be liberated from the painful duty of saying what I really do not think and of acting in a way that betrays God’s truth and the integrity of my own soul"
