Dear {usertag:name}

This e-Newsletter is being sent to the Health Education and The Heart Subgroups.

Welcome new member Ann Armstrong to Transition The Grove. Ann is interested in local Health Education and The Heart.

Ann has been a Weight Watchers Leader now for 71/2 years and enjoys what she does. She is married with 2 sons and has lived near here for 20 years.

What is the purpose of The Heart Subgroup? Probably the nicest name of all the subgroups but what is it about?

Transition Towns are about building local resilience and sustainability and they have a strong focus on the future. We are preparing now to build a secure local future here in the face of a rapidly and dramatically changing world.

The Heart is about activities that support us emotionally and in spirit to adapt through change and to put our hearts and souls into creating the very best futures for all that we can imagine.

So The Heart is about celebration song festivals dance visioning exercises dreaming imagining designing thanksgiving blessing costume artwork theatre hugs joy ….It is the comfort and inclusion that we give each other in the tough times. It is the attitudes of goodwill and respect we all need to live in harmony with each other.

So the mission of The Heart Subgroup is to take on responsibility for planning ‘Heart’ activities for Transition The Grove members and for our whole local community. The Heart Subgroup may contirubte the touch of fun and joy and laughter to otherwise quite serious meetings or topics.

If you have put your name down for The Heart Subgroup you will bless us all by opening the door and starting Heart activities for us. There are no limits except in imagination.

The local Health vision that is growing into imagined becoming for our community here is to become visibly well and thriving a blip on the national health statistics. One way we could do thisis  if as a whole community we lost 10% of the excess weight we carry. We can do this by encouraging each other and by working with local health and fitness providers such as Ann and by changing our lives to grasp health locally.

Enjoy today and prepare to enjoy the future
