UPDATES
COMING SOON!
Current Projects
Over the past several years, I have moved my practice away from having many weekly classes to taking yoga off the mat and bringing it into my every day life. I hope to carry the essence of yoga into community involvement, helping build community and working with others to make this world a better place to live. Thus, my schedule is not as detailed on the mat, but it has more depth when I include my full life activities.

Saugatuck/Douglas Rotary Club
Helping rebrand and rebuild 8 year old club to be a catalyst in the community. Our Purpose: The Rotary Club of Saugatuck-Douglas is a local network of friends, neighbors, leaders, and problem solvers who unite to take action to build peace through service in our communities. Our Vision: Together, we will be the leading local network for people to unite to take action to create positive lasting change in our towns, in our world, and in ourselves. Our Mission: To lift and guide the next generation towards meaningful, flourishing lives through education, healthy lifestyles, leadership opportunities, and development of their full potential. |
Environment
Helping preserve our planet for the next generation. There is a great amount of work to be done to change humanity's direction so that our home - this wonderful hunk of rock called Earth - can sustain us for generations to come. The world is an imperfect place and will remain that way, and I cannot change this on a national scale. I can, however, take this as an opportunity to become enlightened and slowly impact our local community. This is where my yoga background compels me to take action. When we all choose to make change within and then use that change to make our community a better place, then we can make this a better world. Thus, I follow the Sierra Club and support their direction for sustaining the world we live in. I also have lobbied in Lansing, made donations, sent letters and emails to government leaders, and protested in Washington, DC, with my niece Sarah Shoemaker. I am willing to do what it takes as one living member of this world to make improvements. |
Kids' Food Basket
Did you know that there's both a great deal of prosperity and a great deal of poverty all within Allegan County lines? The organization Kids' Food Basket is building a facility that will allow the community of Allegan County to respond to children impacted by hunger. They have a proven track record in Grand Rapids, Muskegon, and Ottawa County. They're working on building a facility that allows their volunteers to store future food, prepare food, pack food for sack suppers, and then deliver sack suppers to schools in the afternoons. This would allow hungry children to have a supper 5 evenings a week during the school year. Our group of community members are building a volunteer base and raising funds to help and support Kids' Food Basket and their program that is feeding over 8,000 children each day in southwestern Michigan. |
