Transition into the new year by doing something challenging and good for both your brain and your body. Go outside your comfort zone to develop a skill. Reach beyond your safe circle to make new connections. You might find pleasant surprises.
Swing & Slow Dance
Don’t just sway back and forth! Exercise your brain and body with fun partner dancing. It will take place at 6:30 p.m. from Jan. 19 to Feb. 16 at the Westfield Washington Township building on Greyhound Pass. Here’s the link for details.
Youth Art Classes
For ages 8 and up, youth art classes will start on various dates beginning Jan. 4 at two locations. Building skills, confidence and creativity. Here’s the link for details on all classes.
Art at Hub & Spoke
Shop for wide variety of art at the High Frequency Arts gallery at Hub & Spoke Design Center, located at 8100 E. 106th St., Fishers. (I have some porcelain vases there; see examples above.)
Create for a Cause
Help benefit the Youth Assistance Program from 3 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 16. Join me for a pen and ink and watercolor art session, plus wine and beer. Art skills aren’t needed – just a desire to have fun and create. Each adult class pays for one youth art class.
Tina’s Healthy Eating Tip
Satisfy your sugar craving with a bowl of Greek yogurt, topped with honey and walnuts. It’s a standard snack in Greece.
