Eleanor Oliphant is a smart, warm, and uplifting story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey . . . She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza and phone chats with Mummy. Wryly funny, Reminiscent of A Man Called Ove with so much more depth and compassion. Soon a major motion picture. Skip the summary to enjoy the story's jokes, twists & turns.

Both Medium and Advanced Levels might require handling various challenges such as reading cue sheets, using a Garmin or navigation app, night riding, out of town travel, or any other odd cycling situations. **+++++++++++++++++++++** **The Fine Print:** **+++++++++++++++++++++** An RSVP of 'YES' is your digital signature and means you have read and understood MEETUP.com's: * "Terms of Service : Section 6.

For the month of June, we'll be back in DC for dinner at Madhatter, an upbeat bar/grill: https://www.madhatterdc.com/lunch-dinner-menu It's just a few minutes from the Dupont Circle stop on the Red Line. If driving, parking is free but challenging. A couple of disclaimers: this is not a "meet market." Many of us desire to become DINKs at some point, while others do not; let's not assume the former for anyone. In the spirit of the overall group, this is inclusive in that regard. But please just come with the intent to have fun and connect with other CFs, not to hook up or partner up. If it happens naturally, awesome. But please don't have that goal in mind. You can bring a guest provided they're single and childfree. If something comes up and you can't make it, please switch your RSVP to "no" by Friday, 5/6/19 at 5 p.m. That said, if you've repeatedly signed up and then switched your RSVP to "no," I reserve the right to move you to the waitlist if we have enough people wanting to go. Reservations are limited to twelve; if anybody wants to make their own reservation so we can have more, let me know, and I'll increase the size.

📅 **Date**: June 20 ⏰ **Time**: 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM 📍 **Location**: Indian Head Rail Trail 💧 **Provided**: Water & Light Snacks For our very first gathering, we’ll keep it simple, refreshing, and heart-centered. We’ll take a peaceful walk along the beautiful Indian Head Rail Trail while talking, sharing, and getting to know one another. This is a judgment‑free, pressure‑free space — come as you are, whether you’re seeking fellowship, encouragement, or just a moment to exhale. ✨ **What You Can Expect** * **Supportive community** — women who understand the realities of single motherhood * **Faith-based encouragement** — gentle spiritual conversations and uplifting dialogue * **Personal growth** — space to reflect, heal, and grow * **Light movement** — a relaxing walk that allows conversation to flow naturally

Puppies might be one of the best reasons to come to yoga.  On June 20, I'll be teaching Puppy Yoga at Play All Day VA in Manassas and the Mr. has informed me multiple times that I am NOT to sneak any puppies into my yoga bag.  Boo. We'll move, stretch, laugh, get distracted by puppies, and probably spend more time smiling than holding poses. And the best part? The puppies joining us are adoptable and looking for their forever homes. Yoga doesn't always have to be serious. Sometimes it's community. Sometimes it's joy. Sometimes it's a puppy climbing into your lap during yoga. I'd love to see you there! June 20 • 11:00 AM City of Manassas Community Center 8750 Sudley Road, Manassas Come for the yoga. Stay for the puppies. Leave with a full heart.
