Weekly Wellness Blog: November 6th, 2019



Want to be happy? Be grateful.

“There are many things for which we cannot be grateful, but there is no moment for which we cannot be grateful, because in every moment, even difficult ones, we have the opportunity to do something.” — Brother David Steindl-Rast 

Brother David Steindl-Rast, a Benedictine monk, meditates and writes on "the gentle power" of gratefulness. Watch his video here

Why you should listen
Many first met Brother David Steindl-Rast through a viral video called "Nature. Beauty. Gratitude," where Louie Schwartzberg's footage of time-lapse flowers in bloom is narrated by Brother David's moving words asking us to simply be ... grateful 

Wellness Academy Activity Offerings

Night Owl Update

As we are nearing the date of delivery, November 8, we have already sourced bulk orders of the following items through Mr. Mouli.
The products purchased will be packed on Friday after school in room number 3124. If you wish to help please do. If you wish to be part of the delivery crew please let Deb or Aziz know.

We intend to deliver these items over the course of the year, not all on November 8. Meaning, this is the only bulk purchasing that will be done this school year. Altogether, these items have cost around US$ 500 OR 50,000 Rupees.

You have indicated an interest in giving a monetary donation towards Night Owl. We would really appreciate any amount to go towards the cost of the above items.

Thanks for your interest in Night Owl! Kindly pass on your donations to Aziz or Deb.
