Ginger Garner now CEC Blogger!

Hi everyone,

There are many great reasons for all Conversation Leaders to tune into the CEC blog, which is really starting to take off - but here's a new one:  Ginger Garner (Cohort L) is now blogging regularly for the CEC site!

Check out her recent post on why we need a Mother's Bill of Rights.

If you are interested in Healing through music, movement, and meditation, you will also love Ginger's home website at www.gingergarner.com.

Ginger also visited Whidbey Island in August, where she met up with Dorothy Baumgartner (Facilitator, Cohort L), Rumi Keast (Cohort L) and Ann Amberg (Program Administrator and member of Cohort N) for a sushi feast and a caring economy conversation.

Here's Rumi's description of that fun gathering:

Guess what happened. Ginger visited Whidbey Island yesterday and Dorothy and I met her!

We had a sushi class at Dorothy's husband church, watched a Riane's Tedx talk and had a conversation for caring economics and health care issues - poor communication between health care providers and recipients, and among health care providers in different fields. At the conversation,  Dorothy, her husband, a yoga instructor, Ann (new program coordinator) were present.  We were glad Ginger was there.  She is respectable, friendly, helpful, intellectual, and beautiful!

It was interesting for me to hear Ginger say sand on a Whidbey's beach is different from her area and the vegetation is similar to the one in North Carolina's mountain areas. She is my very first person from North Carolina whom I got to know.  

Thanks to Ginger for representing Caring Economics so beautifully, and to Rumi, Dorothy, and Ann for pulling off such a lovely gathering.  (Seeing these sushi pictures makes me doubly sorry to have missed it!)
