Finally learned how to make a blog entry on our new website.  Bryce over at Fresh Ink has been patient and helpful as I make the transition from the old, tired  website to this new and high speed website.  I expected a few glitches but so far, no major problems.  This has been the theme since I started Yoga For Vets.   When there is a problem, it gets small very quickly.  I emphasised when there is a problem because so far, this grassroots project has had very few negative issues.  I hope that vibe is felt by our vets.  If they do have big issues, I want Yoga For Vets to help make them smaller.  As our testimonials from war vets point out, yoga can help some really big problems.  However, I am always very quick to point out to skeptical war vets that yoga isnt a magic pill that brings happiness, health and joy...but it might.  Seriously, as our organization grows and more vets experience yoga for themselves, I hope yoga teachers and our vets will visit Yoga for Vets for information and inspiration.  They are all but certain to experience no problem Mon.

Today begins a new chapter in the history of Yoga For Vets. We are launching our newly redesigned website. I am also beginning my new role as a blogger. Return here often as you will get to read the words of someone who is sometimes flying by the seat of his pants and sometimes focused and calm. I am trying to grow Yoga For Vets into an organization that every war vet and yoga studio knows exist. After more than 3 years in existence I know many war vets who have used our site to find free yoga classes near them. However, many more have told me "I didnt know something like this even existed." It is my goal to make sure that someday all war vets return and receive our welcome home gesture of providing 4 free yoga classes where they live. This is truely a grassroots effort and I rely on the support of strangers and friends alike to spread the work about our website to war vets and yoga teachers they know. Finally, the words I least like to say, "Donate to us if you can." It is needed very much at this pivital point in our journey.
