Message from the President
2014 is The Year of The Heart

As we enter into a beautiful new year, we will be taking a focus on the heart and creating connections. Too often we are isolated in our work and isolated as a field. In 2014, we are committed to increasing connections both internally within ourselves and our field and externally to our members, colleagues and the universe as a whole.

I am honored to serve as your President and invite you to connect with me and share your thoughts about the direction our organization takes into the future. We are here for you and we are here to serve.

What would you like for us to achieve this year? What would you like to contribute?

Please feel free to contact me by email at mhedlund@thelightoftheheart.org or phone 630-486-4078.

What heartfelt connections will you make in 2014?
Wishing you a year filled with art and love,

Melissa
