                           The Gift of Breath
    God has given you a wonderful gift – your breath.   
    physical body; having a profound effect on your
    nervous system, with the potential to increase your
    energy or promote relaxation.

    We often think that our breathing ability is
    automatic, yet our busy Western culture generates
    dysfunctional breathing habits that affect every
    aspect of our lives.

    In Yoga, we focus on effective breathing which has  
    tremendous influence on our immune system,
    mental outlook, emotional resilience and capacity
    to manage stress and learn healthy breathing.

    Folks on Spooks/Folks on Foot
    Dedicate September 12, 2010 Event
    In Memory of Ed Peckham

    As many of you at Mary Taylor know, Edward (Roy)
    Peckham was a dedicated biker and a staunch
    supporter for many years of Bridges Annual
    Fundraiser “Folks on Spokes/Folks on Foot.” Bridges
    will be dedicating this year’s event to his memory.  
            Since he had many friends at Mary Taylor who
    generously supported him every year, either as
    riders, walkers or sponsors—this is an opportunity to
    honor his memory once again and support Bridges’
    mental health and addiction recovery services.  
    “Folks on Foot” also helps support our Across Ages
    Mentoring Program for middle school children.  The
    event this year is Sunday, September 12th at Fowler
    Field.  Registration/sponsor forms are available in
    Dodd Hall and will be available on our website next
    week..  If you have any questions, please call Ann
    Loesch at Bridges—

    203-878-6365 X359 or email at:  
    aloesch@bridgesmilford.org.
                             
    Barefoot Sundays

    During July—286 pairs of all kinds of footwear
    (sneakers, rain boots, “one-size-can-fit-many” flip-
    flops, work boots, dress shoes—for special
    occasions and job interviews, athletic shoes,
    slippers and just about every kind of footwear
    imaginable) were received for Soles 4 Souls.  I am
    sure all of them were put to good use! This
    organization distributed over 10 million pairs of
    shoes worldwide for the less fortunate this year.
    What a wonderfully generous congregation I am
    blessed to be a part of. Thank you from the bottom of
    my soles.
