HI Fanchon
* OK everybody, here's a new format. Better? Only one column, only 600 px wide. Let me know.
* Flu Shot? I haven't got one yet, but TWO students (Alexander Technique 'clients') request that I do. I've been asking around... some say it is a hype by big pharma; others that it is the responsible thing to do; others that it is actually dangerous! What's your view? Write me!
* Don't miss the MLK Day celebration at Music Hall, Monday, 11:15, free + basket is passed. Music, speeches. Great time. Details HERE (http://lloydhouse.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=d6419101dfd18db812e1deeb7&id=5e81032e52&e=ab51ed63e1)

LLOYD HOUSE SPONSORS BLOOD DRIVE FOR MLK AND BO
Ellen --
This Saturday, Michelle and I are heading out to events as part of the National Day of Service -- and I hope you'll join us.
It's a day to put politics aside, give back to our communities, and honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by following his example. If we want to bring about change, it has to start with us, person by person and block by block.
Volunteers have organized thousands of events in all 50 states -- look up one in or around Cincinnati, RSVP, and we'll see you out there this Saturday. (http://lloydhouse.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d6419101dfd18db812e1deeb7&id=3171fb30e1&e=ab51ed63e1)
Here's just one event close to you:
What: Lloyd House Blood Drive
Where: Hoxworth Blood Center, 3130 Highland Ave, 4th floor. In the University Hospital complex.
Cincinnati, OH 45267
When: Saturday, January 19th
http://lloydhouse.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d6419101dfd18db812e1deeb7&id=903bbdfcf1&e=ab51ed63e1
I wanted service to be a big part of my inauguration because it's played a huge role in my life.
As a young community organizer starting out in Chicago, I learned that the best ideas, the ones that succeed, take hold at the grassroots. No one needs to wait on politicians or Washington: Change happens when individuals take responsibility for one another and their communities.
At the Day of Service in 2009, I visited with military families and wounded service members at the Walter Reed Medical Center and painted walls at a homeless shelter. Joe packed his toolbox and helped Habitat for Humanity hang drywall in new housing in D.C., while my girls, Michelle, and Dr. Jill Biden filled care packages for our troops overseas.
See what's going on near you, and be part of the inauguration by joining your neighbors on Saturday:

I'll see you out there on the 19th.
Thanks,
Barack

A dear friend from the other side of the aisle told me this week that Republicans are good people who want the best for the poor and everyone, but the president just won't work with them to balance the budget. He's being unreasonable, hard-line, and it is upsetting to her.
She also didn't like the movie "Lincoln"..."Too Hollywood... they didn't give Sen. Pendleton a fair shake. He did a lot of good."
At my recent Malibu workshop on the Alexander Technique I met the uncle of Naomi Klein (his wife, Lynn Charleson Klein teaches A.T.) who wrote the smash hit "Shock Doctrine"

Wow! What a great presentation. Thanks for passing this on.

Hi Ellen -
I recently read this poem (http://lloydhouse.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=d6419101dfd18db812e1deeb7&id=a1f475107f&e=ab51ed63e1 ) about the Winter Solstice and thought of you.
Wishing you a healthy and prosperous New Year...
dn.
(From ellen: wow, a wonderful poem. here's an excerpt. for the whole thing, link above.)
...In the universe there moves a Wild One
whose gestures alter earth's axis
toward love.
In the immense darkness
everything spins with joy.
The cosmos enfolds us.
We are caught in a web of stars,
cradled in a swaying embrace,
rocked by the holy night,
babes of the universe....
From Brooke Audreyal
It is horrifying that we have to fight
our own government, to
save the environment.
