November 2009
Our first newsletter is dedicated to giving thanks. Not just about saying thanks and acknowledging the many people who have supported us and welcomed our presence in the past several weeks since Wishing Well launched, but really giving thanks.
The act of giving manifests our thoughts of gratitude in our families, communities, and the world around us. Although we are an online publication, our roots are planted in local soil. Each time we promote an event, add a business to our directory or share a new article with you, we are giving thanks for the abundance we share. Each time you post a class on our calendar, review a business, or write a blog post, you add to that abundance, and Wishing Well grows deeper.
It is in this spirit that we offer Wishing Well as a true holistic resource to the greater Ithaca community. Thank you for receiving us so generously.
Best Wishes,
Danielle Klock, Managing Editor
In The Spotlight
The Magical Garden
Our featured business in November is The Magical Garden. Permaculture meets preschool at the Fowler Family's licensed family group daycare in Danby, where children explore their connections to the natural world and all of its gifts.
We give special thanks for our opportunity to spread the word about the first annual Finger Lakes Bioneers Conference. It was this three day event hosted by Sustainable Tompkins that caused us to reflect and explore the ways we can expand an event to engage a larger community beyond those in attendance.
It's difficult to look around the Finger Lakes region and not feel the connection we have with water. On December 5, please join us in giving thanks as The Sim Redmond Band, Donna the Buffalo, and The Horseflies perform at the State Theatre of Ithaca.
Proceeds of Life is Water: A Concert to Defend the Finger Lakes against Unsafe Gas Drilling will benefit Shaleshock Citizens Action Alliance. Safe water benefits us all.
We give thanks to Jim Graney, publisher of Tompkins Weekly for granting us permission to syndicate selected articles on sustainability and wellness in their entirety on Wishing Well. Likewise, you may see some Wishing Well articles in Tompkins Weekly from time to time.
Look for the Tompkins Weekly blog in the coming weeks...
