Summer Greetings!
A Sad but Special Date
July 23rd will mark 3 years since Ted left us. For me, and perhaps many others, it still feels like it happened yesterday. In commemoration of Ted and simply for a better sense of well-being on this day (or every day?) please try to bestow upon someone a small act of kindness, if even just a smile, to spread some much needed good feelings into this weary world.
Despite the sweltering heat ablaze in the L.A. basin, apparently some of us are crazy enough to want to plan another picnic.
The proposed date is Sunday August 24th, to take place once again at the Encino “Duck Park.”
if you are interested in attending, please post a reply to this thread in the News & Updates section of the forum.
Notice! For anyone that wants DVDs of 5 of Ted’s seminars: Four very generous members of the Ted Greene forums have offered to make copies of these precious DVDs:
