Sunday, September 13th, 2026
These mid September days usually show signs of Fall in the air, but I don’t know…seems like we’re still in the “dog days” of summer! Still, we know that cooler temps are on their way and we are eager to feel that sense of the “in-between” of the seasons and all the possibilities that it holds. Not really sure where our conversation will take us this Sunday, but we’ll be delighted if you join us! We’re on ZOOM this Sunday, and here’s the link:

Giving Opportunities
Paths of Heart welcomes and appreciates your generous donations in support of our gatherings and other events. Remember, we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so your donations are tax deductible. Many folks find online donations very convenient and these are always gratefully accepted on our website, https://www.pathsofheart.org/donate/ There is an option for recurring monthly donations, if you so choose. We have also added Venmo as an easy way to donate to Paths of Heart! Just type in @PathsofHeart to find us in the Venmo app. Thank you ever so!
Another easy way to further support Paths of Heart is through the King Soopers Community Rewards Program – If you shop at KS and have a rewards card, you can “link” it to Paths of Heart and King Soopers will donate a portion of your dollars spent (around 5%) to our non-profit. Go to https://www.kingsoopers.com/i/community/community-rewards to sign up and link your card. Our organization name is Paths of Heart and organization number is RG782. Let us know if you want help signing up! This one small gesture (by just 25 or so families at this point) helps to generate over $1,000 a year for Paths of Heart, so we appreciate your consideration in participating in this valuable program!!
“Paths of Heart” Labyrinth and Zen Meditation Garden
This was intentioned as a community space, so know that you are always welcome to drop by and walk or sit – you do not need to let us know in advance. Do note that we have experienced the outer “halo” of glass blocks in the labyrinth to be slippery when wet, so it’s best to walk it on a dry day.
Gratitudes
We have had some beautiful family gatherings in the last week – Myles came into town for a concert with the Jacob Jolliff Band, and Colleen’s sister, Holly was here with her boyfriend. We celebrated Holly’s birthday and basked in inspired music performances. ‘Twas an awesome week!
