Weekly Newsletter – 6/18/2025

The summer solstice is upon us! This week kicks off our new summer season, bringing with it the most daylight hours of the year. If you are in town, make sure to check out the Solstice parade this weekend and enjoy!

The challenge this week is to set an intention for yourself this summer. Once you have set your intention, commit to making progress towards it in a tangible way- maybe you set calendar reminders or put a note on your fridge- some way to remind yourself of it regularly!

Cheers,

Catherine Tro, Director of First Impressions

Healthy Living Tip

Zentangles Are a Fun and Creative Way to Destress

Doodling is a great way to relax and destress for a few minutes, and Zentangles take doodling to the next level. They are fun and easy to learn. You can create some fantastic little pieces with just a few techniques. 

Zentangles are made from smaller patterns pieced together. The designs can be as simple as little circles, lines, and curves. Together, they can make a whole picture! You can add shading and contrast to accentuate your design. The idea behind Zentangle is to decompress and relax while creating an excellent, unique layout.
