Happy New Year Gals!

Thanks for a great kickoff to our Global Gals Gatherings.  We talked about our New Year's Resolutions and how our friends can help us to achieve our goals.  My resolution is to update www.global-gals.com and learn about creating and maintaining a website.  I may be asking for help along the way and I do ask that you all check-in with me periodically by just asking "Hey, how is our website coming along?"  I won't post everyone's resolution here but I will keep them on hand so we can see how each of us progressed throughout the year. 

While sharing our resolutions, we came up with ways that the Global Gals can provide help tools.  For example, everyone wants to exercise more so we can go on Global Gals hikes.  Another common theme was healthy eating so we would like to take cooking classes together (the first one being February 5 at UCSD Moores Cancer Center.)  And we still want to have a technology themed gathering to teach each other the latest in cell phone, IPOD, and computer usage. 

Other action items included:
Janice will be sharing her findings on local organic food delivery.
Julie will look into cooking classes at Great News and dinner food prep such as Healthy Creations and Souper Suppers.
Julie will investigate a private yoga class.

We have an abundance of topic ideas for future Gatherings so I think our year will be full and exciting!

Our next meeting is scheduled for Feb 12, but for those interested, we will be attending a free cooking class on Feb 5.  You can see the Healing Foods Cooking Classes info at health.ucsd.edu/cancer/prevention/healthyeating/classdates.htm.  Advance registration is required and you are able to download the forms from the website.  I hope everyone can make it.

Until then,
Keep smiling,
Jules
