I was born and raised in Botetourt County but recently moved back to the Roanoke Valley after a 7 year stint in Richmond. I missed my family, the mountains, nice people, and decent sweet tea. One of the few things that I find myself missing about Richmond is a forum for friends and soon-to be-friends to get together and enjoy the city's fantastically diverse and delicious restaurant scene. So here's the idea: unique restaurants, stellar food, and new friends. In the words of my friend Anne, orga …

Through careful and sustained observation, we experience for ourselves the ever-changing flow of the mind/body process. This awareness leads us to accept more fully the pleasure and pain, fear and joy, sadness and happiness that life inevitably brings. As insight deepens, we develop greater equanimity and peace in the face of change, and wisdom and compassion increasingly become the guiding principl …
