An Update from JK with the Unique Cajon Box
From the Ivy Courtyard we made this little video playing the Cajon Box. Even in the midst of the CoVid 19 virus - we have peace and enjoying the time to spread some peace through music. We gathered a few spectators from afar - as the one fence is down, opening up the courtyard in view from the close by Seniors Home.
Number One Figure – Do
Learn to love your body, flaws and all. Yes, I know...But I have, But I am, But I don't have, But I can't... No matter what style or dressing issues you have they can be overcome. First, you need to know what suits you and then you can work around the issues you have. I am starting to share my Image and Personal Style tips again! During this downtime I have more time and love fashion stylizing - showing men and women their best styles...
Corona Virus Message from Colleen
I pray you are doing well and not worrying during this time of social distancing due to the Corona Virus. Seems much of the country is in a panic and worried about Covid-19. While we of course should be smart and practical by adhearing to intelligent suggestions (washing hands frequently, not touching our faces, staying out of large crowds, etc.), but we don't need to live in fear. How do we do that?
“It has been my pleasure to work with Colleen and John Kosti through Spirit of Excellence. Their dedication to improving the lives of children and adults is really inspiring. The QUEST program gives teenaged girls and young women a great grounding in caring for themselves physically, spiritually and socially.”
“The Kosti’s have taken an art form and made it their ministry, their mission. They have established themselves and set,
themselves apart by working on not only the outside person
but the interior one. Their ability to do outreach
through their gifting is astounding.
