    It would be great if this was recorded and made available online for those of us who are very interested but can’t make it there.

    Or, if a webcast could be set-up, that would be great too.

    I teach on Wed night but am stoked that you are recording it…you might consider having people name communities that incorporate or are trying to incorporate elements of the principles, and also, how we can support each other in those efforts!

    I live in a 60 person cohousing community in Santa Cruz, and cohousing is an interesting overlap with the principles.

    burn on!

  • If that’s not possible, you can take a section of your hair and wrap it around the
    band to hide it and tuck it under to hold the hair
    in place. If you have seen the movie ‘Curly Sue’, the
    little girl’s hair is very long and curly, but what many
    parents need to understand is that it can get tangled,
    knotted up, and very dirty. Some finishing wax applied
    very lightly and you will have perfect sedu celebrity hairstyles every time.
