Circle of Love

Howdy Friends!

It is the last full week of January 2022! And new year greetings are still okay even towards the end of January 😊. Happy New Year! Hope your year is off to a great start! Remember to cherish each day- it’s God’s gift to you! How we “spend” the gift is our gift back to God!
 
Diving into the new year, I have revisited all the cherished memories created on our last vacation to fuel the marathon of this year. This picture is one of many taken from our vacation last month. The picture has been helpful in launching the treasured membership of the Wellness Project. Three years ago, when the question was posed, for a place to meet consistently, this website was created. With your input and feedback, the circle of love has been added through the treasured membership. This is a place to unwind and chat about your wellness journeys. Excited for our times together here. Come on in!
 
The inspiration came from our visit to the Banyan tree in Lahaina (Maui). The educator in me discovered some key things about the banyan tree. It belongs to the Moraceae family and the species, Ficus benghalensis L. For my plant enthusiasts, you can learn more about the banyan tree here.   
 
The tree is marked by trunk like aerial roots. This one in Lahaina has twelve major trunks. Interestingly, the banyan tree was imported from India and planted in front of the Lahaina courthouse and harbor in 1873. The tree is so huge it spans many blocks.  What I Iike most about the Lahaina Banyan tree is the arrangement of park benches around the tree; it attracts people to slow down for a chat with co-visitors at the park.  The Circle of Love is similar, as we slow down and chat about your wellness journey as a treasured child of God that you are! See you there!
 
May 2022 be your best year yet! Keep making wellness a top priority. See you in the circle of love. Sending you tons of well wishes, love and cheer for an amazing year.                                
​                                                   Much love & Blessings!
