Bright Reflections
“December, being the last month of the year, cannot help but make us think of what is to come."
- Fennel Hudson
Here at the Foundation, we're reflecting on what a wonderful year 2019 has been. Each of you has played an important role in the fulfillment of our mission. We are so very thankful for the many contributions of time, talents and treasures which come from our HWF community members.
You may also wish to remember the highlights of 2019 by creating a visual map of the year with images representing milestones and special events.This simple process can serve as a scrapbook of the year’s memories and highlights. It can also provide guidance for the year ahead as you reflect on choices, priorities and actions during the year and what you want to change forward
If working in a group, have each person spend some time privately responding to some of the prompts listed below. Then get together and capture your items on paper. You don’t have to provide an answer to every item and definitely add your own ideas. Work your answers into linear lists or make creative drawings and images – whatever visual style you prefer.
Begin your reflections with the following items:
- Favorite trip, vacation or adventure
- A memorable moment with each of your family members
- Most important accomplishment (personal and/or professional)
- Healthiest lifestyle change you made
- Favorite gathering (holiday, conference, party, etc.)
- A new way you expressed your creativity
- Favorite book you read
- A charity or organization whose work you supported
- Biggest regret
- A gift and/or act of kindness or service you received that made your day
- Most important thing you learned
- Something you did to encourage someone who was struggling
Then, add to the list and make it your own!
However you decide to reflect on 2019, we wish you blessings of abundant qi to help you flow easily through this holiday season and into a bright, peaceful and healthy New Year!
Be well,
Your friends at the Healer Within Foundation

Virtual Practice Group Leaders Wanted!
 We are excited to share with you a new opportunity to expand your practice along with your leadership experience! You may know that Kalind Bakshi and Maulik Mankad organized and have led an online practice group, each Sunday morning at 9:00 EST, for the past two years. The group has gained an enthusiastic following!
These virtual practice sessions have made such a difference to those who participate and have supplied the HWF community with a rich library of archived classes. Now, the Virtual Practice Group is growing, and we need your help.
Would YOU like to lead one or more of the Sunday Virtual Practice Group sessions next year? If yes, we would love to hear from you! If you chose to be a Virtual Practice Leader, we will work with you to develop a course or series of courses and provide you with basic instruction and tips for leading virtual practices effectively.
Please reach out to Christie Ward if you are as excited about this opportunity as we are. We look forward to partnering with you to grow the Tai Chi Easy™ Virtual Practice in 2020!
