![]() There's a lot to be said for coming together relationally and finding answers together. It's also about more than just another support group. It's about growing, learning, and moving into a new season of life. Food has the ability to transform your health and is the biggest intervention you can make. As true as that is, there are also many people I work with that are so confused as to what constitutes good food. I'm here to tell you that you are not alone. Confusion is not your fault. There are all kinds of conflicting messages out there; promoted by a multi-billion dollar food industry, the media, supplement companies and even government agencies that are all driven by financial gains. And they all quote conflicting scientific studies that seem to prove out their claims. It's no wonder you are confused. When we come together in community, the strength is in the diverse dynamics of what each one brings and how we expand on each one of those dynamics to reveal a whole new reality. Intangibles like trust and support come into play; but the tangibles of sharing real life experiences, and the outcomes resulting from the ideas, knowledge and passions of each person is excitingly unpredictable. There is enough momentum to change confusion and help many people get well. Here at Healing Leaves Center our students are just as important as our teachers when we're in the classroom, the same way that our attendees are just as important as the presentations when we're offering a health day.

I love the emphasis on community! Thank you, Cathy. It's great news that we are here to help each other and to share our experiences and knowledge. I love to learn about simple, everyday things I can do, such as make healthy food choices, that can help me to get healthier. I look forward to others sharing, too.

Thanks Patty. There are so many choices and areas to explore that if we all gave just one idea we would have enough to keep us busy for the summer. More trips to the health food store to explore what's on the shelves is a great way to begin a new adventure.
