Finding the Good… Through Gratitude
W
hat/who comes to mind when considering grati- tude? Finding it difficult to come up with obvious
answers? According to Anne Kubitsky, everyone suffers, but underneath it all there is good, which can be uncovered, together…post- card by postcard. Kubitsky founded the Look for the Good Project, a community art project that start- ed as a game she played when hav- ing trouble seeing the good in her life. It is intended to honor the mo- ments that make
people glad. Ms. Kubitsky invites everyone to write/paint/ draw a glimmer of gladness on a postcard and mail it to her (“What I’m Grateful For,” PO Box 602, Old Lyme, CT 06371). Her goal is to create an international traveling exposition showcasing the cards and telling the story of opening up to good in her own life through this project. Cards are posted online and at exhibitions, with more events continually being planned (current Connecticut exhibit: Opening to Good at the Custom House Maritime Museum and Provenance Cen-
ter in New London through February 25). Postcards received include: “I am grateful for having had the experience of being deeply in love even though the relationship ultimately ended. It is something I will never forget,” or “I am grateful for things that make me smile,” or, according to Kubitsky, the essence of the project from her experience, “I’m grateful that sometimes the universe forces us to do things that we are too afraid to try ourselves.”

Parents Unite for Holistic Health & Green Living
F
inding one’s tribe can be life changing. Feeling a sense of belonging, the strength of a community. Growing, learn- ing, and sharing with the support of others. That’s what the Holistic Moms Network (HMN) is all about. HMN, a 501(c) 3 non-profit national network organization,
started with simple
intentions--to create an open-minded, welcoming communi- ty for providing support and information about holistic health and green living for parents. It does this “through nurturing, open-minded, and respectful local community networks that encourage families to share these ideals and learn from each other.” Since its inception, HMN has started more than 100 communities for parents across North America. Along the way, HMN is said to have started “building a holistic well- ness revolution,” seeking to help parents rediscover their core instincts, values, and beliefs, and transforming families and communities, one by one. Anyone who is interested in learning more is welcome to attend a meeting and discover whether HMN is right for their needs. Upcoming events include the New Haven County Chapter’s “The Vaccination Debate”, with speaker Dr. Jared M. Skowron, on Thursday, February 9, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Women & Family Life Center (96 Fair St.) in Guilford (RSVP:
newhavenhmn@gmail.com). The Middlesex County Chapter will present “Birth Stories,”
