10/09/18 – Every Morning Hero

Say you saw someone having difficulty this morning. Uncertain, overwhelmed, out of their depth and struggling to stay afloat. What would you do?

You’d take action to improve their situation, right? Because that’s what the better part of us does. That better part that’s in everyone. Even you.

The hero within that rallies you into action…  Spontaneous right action. Zero hesitation.

When you hear that person cry out, when you see them in need. You don’t pause and hold them accountable for not trying harder at school. For being too trusting in their prior relationships. For their fear of public speaking, or for eating that blueberry muffin on the weekend.

No. You answer the call and take immediate action to improve the situation.

Because everyone’s been overwhelmed and out of their depth, and everyone deserves the hero you are to show up and improve the situation. Everyone. Every morning.

Even you.

Monthly Dinner – 11^th September 2018 – Guest Speaker

The next B&B monthly dinner for the year will be held on Tuesday 11th September at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant. The guest speaker on the night will be one of our swimmers, Jennifer Mulveny, who will share the benefits of mindfulness during our swims and in our daily lives. Jennifer is a certified yoga instructor and passionate student of mindfulness. She leads the beach yoga sessions on Manly Beach before our swims every Thursday morning, constantly reminding students that mindfulness can be done on and off the yoga mat, before a beautiful sunrise, or just as well sitting in traffic or standing in a queue. The presentation will include some mindfulness practice that can be used during swims or as part of a regular home practice.

The cost of the dinner is great value at only $25 a head, which includes shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option). Glasses of beer or wine and desserts are also available at the special price of only $5 each. Numbers are limited, so bookings are essential:  To avoid disappointment and secure your spot please book HERE
