✨ Confidence. Character. Class. ✨

New Beginnings For You is excited to launch our 2026 Etiquette Class Series for youth ages 10 & up — beginning March 4th!

In a world that moves fast and feels disconnected, we are creating a space where young people learn how to stand out — for the right reasons.

Over 6 weeks, participants will learn:

🍽 Respectful table manners & dining confidence
🤝 Handshakes, introductions & powerful first impressions
👂 The art of listening & interview skills
💌 Gratitude, thank-you notes & personal responsibility
📱 Digital etiquette & personal brand awareness
🌍 Inclusion, respect, and emotional intelligence

This is more than manners.
This is leadership development.

🗓 Wednesdays (tentatively 5:00–6:30 PM)
📍 405 W. 1st St., Dayton
🎓 Culminates in a beautiful High Tea Graduation Celebration in May
🥪 Snack/light meal included each week

Registration is $25 for the full 6-week program.
We never want finances to be a barrier — scholarships are available for families who need assistance.

Spots will be limited to keep the experience personal and impactful.

📞 Call (937) 222-5680 for more information or to register.

Let’s equip our youth with skills that will open doors for a lifetime. 💛

🌅 Good Morning! A Peaceful Day Begins. May we practice mindfulness throughout the day—being mindful of our breath, our thoughts, our words, and our actions. In this awareness, we find the stillness of peace. In this presence, we discover the warmth of loving-kindness and compassion.

Every moment is a fresh opportunity to return to ourselves and be fully present. Each breath is a gentle reminder to come back home to the here and now.

We are all walking this path together. Let us walk mindfully through this day, supporting one another with every step we take toward peace. Today is going to be our peaceful day.

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏✨

Restored. Still radiant.
I finally pulled some candles out of storage, but this one didn't work so I set it aside. I kept the other two together and decided to give it a rest. Took out the batteries, let it sit there for a bit, then put in fresh batteries. I had put two fresh batteries in when I found them but then I realized it may have a residual current. Guess that was it - it works!

It made me think of how often we do the opposite with ourselves. When we feel depleted, dim or disconnected, we try to push harder. Force the light back on. But maybe sometimes restoration isn't about adding energy. It's about removing what's overstimulating. Allowing a full discharge. Giving the nervous system space to rest. Clearing what's stuck so the light that's already there can return.

Once it worked I put on the "Restored. Still radiant." sign as reminder that I may need to fully discharge sometimes before I can radiate again.

✍️ Perhaps we were once taught that it was okay to hold onto resentment when life felt unfair. Or maybe, like a vine growing slowly over time, these reactions became a habit we didn’t even realize we were wearing. We might find ourselves reacting with a sharp word or a heavy heart whenever the world doesn't move quite the way we hoped it would.

In the beginning, there can be a flickering comfort in blame. It feels like a shield, a way to stay in control when things feel chaotic. But that warmth is fleeting. Before we know it, we are carrying a heavy burden of resentment in our minds. We might find ourselves at odds with the traffic, the rain, our circumstances, or even the reflection in the mirror. When our hearts are full of these heavy shadows, the light of peace simply cannot find a place to rest.

Then one day—perhaps in a moment of stillness, through a message of kindness, or simply because we are tired of the weight—something gentle awakens within us. A deep, patient peace reminds us of a truth we may have forgotten: We do not have to carry this anymore.

Anger and hatred are like embers held in the hand; they only burn the one who holds them. They gently fade our joy and quiet our laughter. When we realize this, a beautiful shift happens. We see that we have a choice. We can choose the path of letting go, the choice of peace, the path of mindfulness.

With patient practice—by noticing these feelings as they arise and greeting them with mindfulness, choosing peace and letting go—we can begin to heal. We can choose to be kind to ourselves as we unlearn these old ways.

May we each find that blessed day when we realize that our hearts deserve to be light. And may we choose, with infinite compassion for our own journey, the path that leads us home to peace.

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏
