Home, Health & Hearth   

Can you pay cash to buy a house or condo? Few people can, so you will need a loan to buy that new home. But to qualify for that loan, you must have decent credit or a history of managing your money responsibly. If you are recovering from divorce, foreclosure or bankruptcy, buying that home can seem like a dream. But it need not be. Learn from a mortgage planner and credit counselor what actions you can take to improve your credit and your chances of getting a home loan.

Improve your well-being through immersion in Nature. This experience will guide you through a sequence of open-ended invitations to slow down, and use your senses to interact with the natural world. There is no expectation for what participants should experience or receive, though reduced stress is common, as well as improved creativity, a sense of calm and stillness while also feeling more alive. This is not a hike or meditation, but best described as a slow meander of less than a mile. This experience is ideal for persons older than 12, and who are comfortable traveling on uneven, unpaved terrain; though with notice, we can easily adapt for anyone with more limited mobility (fatigue, uneven gait, use of walker or cane). The class will take place in Boeing Creek Park, Shoreline.  https://www.forestbathingfinder.com/guide-profile/humannature/
