Wherever possible, these speakers will be women from the local community who are at the top of their field.

Hi Stacey,

How are you? Mom, Dad, and I miss you.

Did I tell you about my new hobby? Well, I was looking for some kind of treatment for my backache. I was waiting for the bus a few weeks ago, and I told the woman behind me in the line about my back problem. She was a yoga teacher, and she said that if I do yoga, it might help. It’s too easy to know if it’s true or not, but I am taking classes with her twice a week. The classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Because of my yoga classes, I cannot call you next Tuesday. Is Wednesday OK for you? Please let me know.

Take care,

Sharon
