Living Amid Chaos
Well, it’s begun. Mark and Colleen have started a series of renovation projects that have their lives turned a bit topsy-turvy. It’s time to (re)learn how to stay balanced and focused (and kind!) amid the chaos. Bring your ideas! Also bring a dish to share for our potluck immediately following our gathering. See you Sunday!
Quotes to ponder
“Life is nothing without a little chaos to make it interesting.” ~ Amelia Atwater-Rhode
“I finally figured out that not every crisis can be managed. As much as we want to keep ourselves safe, we can’t protect ourselves from everything. If we want to embrace life, we also have to embrace chaos.” ~ Susan Elizabeth Phillips
“Solitude is where I place my chaos to rest and awaken my inner peace.” ~ Nikki Rowe
“True stability results when presumed order and presumed disorder are balanced. A truly stable system expects the unexpected, is prepared to be disrupted, waits to be transformed.” ― Tom Robbins
Looking Ahead/Notes of Interest
Sunday, August 25th – Our next community potluck, immediately following our gathering. Please bring a dish to share and your own table service (plate and utensils). We’ll provide cups, napkins and a variety of beverages.
Sunday, September 8th – There will be no Paths of Heart Gathering on this date.

Gratitudes
Thanks to all who’ve been attending our song circles over these many months. What a joyous time we’ve had together! Alas, we’ve decided to suspend them for awhile as we anticipate a very full schedule for the fall. We are thinking our next one will be a holiday themed sing-a-long in early/mid December. Thank you for your understanding!
“You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.” ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

Car-eography
You
may park in the driveway, as well as diagonally along the north side of
our property. Should those areas become full, please park out on Hwy
1, which has plenty of space and a nice wide shoulder. Do watch for
passing cars as you are exiting and entering your vehicle, though! The
carport area is reserved for folks with special parking needs. Out of
respect for our neighbors, we ask that you kindly refrain from parking
on Evans Drive beyond our property line. Car pooling is encouraged. We
also have a bike rack for cyclists!

throughout the world. Paths of Heart is a 501(c)(3) Human
Services/Educational non-profit organization that uses the arts,
especially, to encourage and propel seekers of a better, more peaceful
world to find ways to serve, while becoming more kind and compassionate
