We started the week with DGFG Live, #VolunteersWithAVoice Story Hour with Calvin Hughes. Calvin Hughes is the News Anchor at WPLG Local 10, he is an Emmy-winning news anchor and has received many accolades for his work in the community as a speaker and volunteer. Calvin actively seeks opportunities to bring viewers stories that touch the soul of our community. He was one of only two South Florida journalists permitted to report live from Pope Benedict XVI’s historic trip to Cuba.
Calvin joined us for a reading of Better Together! by Amy Robach and Andrew Shue, a sweet tale about finding common ground and accepting and appreciating each others’ differences. When a big thunderstorm shakes their woodland home, the Squirrelly family must flee their nest for a hollow in an oak tree. To their surprise, the McMunk family had the exact same idea. This family of squirrels and a family of chipmunks must find ways to live together which isn’t always easy since they come from different backgrounds. But after some important lessons in compromise, the Squirrellys, and the McMunks realize that life is better together as the McSquirrelies.

We had the most incredible guest for this week’s Mindful Hour segment, Yoga Instructor and Integrative Health Coach Nicole Fasano. She is from Long Island, New York, and went to the University of Miami. Nicole taught elementary school for 8 years.
She guided us through a relaxing and refreshing 20-minute yoga routine. Later, Nicole told us the meaning of the word “Namaste” is a Hindu customary, non-contact form of respectfully greeting and honoring the opposite person or group.
