1. Free Tour of an Urban Farm

I am having a great summer. I love taking advantage
of all the free events the city has to offer. Tonight I
took pilates on the river and it was great! There was
a terrific breeze and the water was choppy. I met a
couple friends there and I got a great workout.

For those of you who want to check it out. Pilates is
at 6:30 on Tuesdays and Yoga is at 6:30 on
Wednesdays. For location click here.

For those of you interested in a more sustainable
environment, have you heard of The Science Barge?

This is a very cool set-up sitting on the Hudson River,
and you can check it out for free.

The Science Barge is a sustainable urban farm
powered by solar, wind, and biofuels, and irrigated by
rainwater and purified riverwater. They grow fresh
fruit and vegetables using recirculating hydroponics.

New York Sun Works is an organization that promotes
sustainability by building and testing ecologically
responsible systems for the production of energy,
clean water, and food, and by scientifically observing
and measuring human impacts on the local environment.

Their website says that "there could be enough rooftop
space in New York City to grow all of our fresh
vegetables.

Cool huh!

I've passed by the barge often on my morning walks,
and I'm definitely planning to attend one of their free
tours. You should take the opportunity to check it out
too.

The barge is currently in Riverside Park, opposite west
70th street.

Public Tour Schedule:
(This schedule begins July 7)
Tuesday: 4:00 PM
Wednesday: 4:00PM
Thursday: 4:00 PM
Friday: 4:00 PM
Saturday: 11:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM
Sunday: 11:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM

Will I see you at pilates next week?

Within the past few months I have made huge lifestyle
changes. I take time to listen to what my body needs.
My cravings for artificial sweeteners and processed foods
have diminished. I cook with all whole foods and feel
stronger, more alert, vibrant, and healthy. I have a
renewed passion for life and sense of well-being. I am
overcoming my eating disorder, exploring my spirituality,
and discovering new possibilities for a gratifying career
path. I treasure our relationship. Thank you so much for
your support.
