We have a counselor here again this morning until 1 PM- please come in if you need support
Now, I want to talk a little bit about anger. Anger is a normal, very valid emotion, that comes with grief and loss….. especially with unexpected and unexplainable loss.
Anger needs to be felt, to be expressed, to be witnessed, to be released…..
There will be a Sacred Scream Session on Sunday morning at 9 AM, on the beach. We will meet on the end of Laneda, in Manzanita
Please join us, to scream, to cry, to wail- to release some of our anger…..within a safe, supportive and loving container.
Sacred scream session starts at 9AM Sunday, the 24th, at the end of Laneda – the studio will be open immediately after, for tea and community
And Rising Hearts Studio will be open and available as a safe space for our community indefinitely- if I’m in the building, door is always open to you
You do not have fo grieve alone!!
All my Love- CK

I plan to continue offering Rising Hearts Studio, as a safe space to be, for those that need it, for as long as needed. The doors of the studio are wide open. Please come to sit quietly, or cry, wail and scream, or share stories, or have some tea, be with others, receive hugs, whatever you need.
We were able to coordinate to have a counselor here today, Thursday, from 1-4PM, and tomorrow Friday (time TBD)
Shock, anger, sorrow, sadness, denial, depression ….pain
All of it is valid, and needs to be felt
Please be gentle with yourself and everyone you meet….
Lee Blackmon, his light and his spirit were a golden thread that wove through the fabric of our community – his loss is unimaginable- you don’t have to grieve alone.
All My LOVE- CK
PS- We will still be celebrating Solstice today with specials and treats, 12-5PM, but with a slightly muted tone

With deep sorrow and a heavy heart, we honor the life of Lee Blackmon of Animal Haven by the Sea Rescue.
Lee’s passing has left an immeasurable void in our community, and we find solace in reflecting on his incredible impact during his time with us.
Lee’s commitment to the welfare of animals and his passion for creating a haven for those in need were unparalleled.
His dedication and tireless efforts transformed Animal Haven by the Sea Rescue into a beacon of hope for countless animals who found safety, love, and a second chance at life within its walls.
Lee’s compassion knew no bounds, and his selfless contributions resonated throughout our community and beyond.
As we mourn the loss of this remarkable individual, let us also celebrate the legacy he leaves behind.
Lee’s kindness, generosity, and unwavering commitment to the well-being of animals have touched the lives of many, creating a ripple effect of compassion that will continue to be felt for years.
In memory of Lee Blackmon, let us come together to support each other, share stories of his incredible impact, and find strength in the shared vision of a community united by love for animals.
While we grapple with the pain of his absence, let us also be inspired by the indomitable spirit of a man who dedicated his life to making the world a better place for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to Lee’s family, friends, and everyone whose life he touched. May his memory be a source of comfort and inspiration.
In honor of Lee, let us renew our commitment to the cause he held dear and find a way to ensure that his legacy lives on.
With heartfelt condolences,
Frank and Patrick

Riverside Fish n’ Chips is now open on Wednesdays with the exception of Dec 27th as we will be closed for an extended Holiday Break. Our break will be December 24-January 2nd-opening back up on Wednesday the 3rd.
Our goal is to always stay open and take care of each person we can but sometimes it’s just too slow and makes sense to close early for the day.
Hours for now: Sunday-Thursday 11:30-5:30pm
Friday and Saturday 11:30-6:00pm
Thank you for your understanding during these winter months!

The popular colors then were avocado green, yellow, and brown, but any color will do. It’s a very Brady Bunch-looking stove.
I’ve attached a picture as an example of what we’re looking for.
It doesn’t have to work; we could return it after production.
If you don’t have one, please ask around for us. We’d appreciate the help!

RIVERBEND PLAYERS MUST-SEE HOLIDAY COMEDY FINAL TWO SHOWS TONIGHT AND TOMORROW!
DEC. 16th – 17th at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem.
Reserved Seating and Showtimes at www.RiverbendPlayers.org Children 12 and under $10, General $20, Premium $25
A CHRISTMAS STORY:
Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the late 1930s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas.
Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee’s Department Store. The consistent response: “You’ll shoot your eye out!”
All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family’s temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg in a net stocking; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more.
A Christmas Story, a theatrical holiday treat!

Tickets at www.RiverbendPlayers.org $25, $20, and $10 (12 and under)
