Dear Friends,
Upcoming Sewer Project
Just a heads up that our normal weekday UU Marin venue (240 Channing Way, San Rafael) will be updating their sewer system the next 2 weeks. The start date is projected for this Thursday, October 5th and hopefully will be done by mid-October.
Our regular class schedule is still happening!
However, please be prepared to see some construction in the parking lot, and plan ahead to use the bathroom somewhere else before class! There will be a port-a-potty if you really need to use the restroom, but water inside the church will be turned off completely.
Thank you for your understanding!
Happy Birthdays Aimee Foreman and Adeline Liu!
Last Thursday we celebrated a double Stop Drop and Dance birthday class for Aimee and Adeline! It was a packed and sweaty dance party with both first timers and regulars celebrating community, health and happiness!
Thank you to everyone who was able to make it, including Aimee's mom, Sandy, who joined on Zoom from Oregon, and her friend Rachel who joined from Puerto Rico! We're so proud of Aimee, who danced up front the entire class, and Adeline, who said YES to coming up front to dance for the first time ever!
On this day, you were born into this world.
And for that reason alone, we celebrate!

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and more.
It turns denial into acceptance,
chaos to order,
confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast,
a house into a home,
a stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today
and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
― Melody Beattie
This is one of my all-time favorite quotes to share, usually around Thanksgiving time. However, this past Saturday during class, Leslie Dinham gave me this thoughtful "Gratitude" art piece she found at the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival, and immediately I thought of this quote. Thank you Leslie!
May you channel a heart of gratitude as you begin this new month, and remember that all our glasses are half-full if we choose to see it that way.
Sewer project? Port-a-potty? No water?
No problem!
All our classes are ON and I hope to see you soon!
Love,
Grace
