Volunteer Connection Zoom Meeting Schedule

5/1: Bohemia Boulder with Abby Sivy - Have paper, brush and paint ready to play! Intuitive/expressive painting is all about just moving color around and not trying to make a final product...ie, not trying to paint a "tree" or "house", it is more feeling it than seeing it. Making a mess, moving it around, is what we are promoting. It's the journey, not the destination!  Bohemia is a studio in North Boulder that holds regular, unique, out of the box workshops. Most often they are thoughtful, contemplative projects. We host private parties, work with seniors, do team building and art retreats!  bohemiaboulder.com

Ø  Ever Wonder How to Stop Thinking Negative Thoughts?

A person can change the circumstances of their life by changing the quality of their thoughts. ~William James, Father of modern psychology.

“If you don’t make time for health, you will have to make time for illness… Place your mind into a positive environment and your health will follow…” YouTube https://www.google.com/search q=how+to+stop+negative+thoughts&rlz=1C1VFKB_enUS757US757&oq=how+to+stop+negat&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57j0l5j69i64.5533j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_OAGnXuGVPMHmsAXj8qCIAw38

§  SOMETHING TO CONSIDER!

Ø  A neighbor/friend recently sent me a gift certificate to a local retail store that is in danger of closing. In response, I will purchase something from the store and give it to a struggling friend/family. Make a list of struggling companies and see if their product fits any needs of a struggling friend/coworker/family and share the love with a gift certificate!
