This is a group for anyone with a mild physical disability that would like to meet new friends. I started a group like this years ago when I was younger and the response was wonderful. Now at 26 years old, it is very hard to meet people who understand, I am no different than anyone else...I have the same wants and dreams. The only thing is I have a little difficulty walking and use a cane. I also have a Service Dog... so anyone with Service Dogs or use a wheelchair are welcomed. We could meet at …

Tired of working in solitude from home? Feeling unmotivated? Working out of the coffee shop and always smelling like espresso? (not that smelling like coffee isn't the hip new thing...) Or maybe you are paying WAY too much for one of those fancy shmancy, stuffy -- er I mean, executive -- suites? That’s why we created CoLoft. The main theme here is that we work better together, not alone. CoLoft is a coworking space where you can get work done, run your business, and meet and converse with like-m …

This group is created specifically for Creative Writers, who know they have something beautiful, meaningful, or helpful to say, know (or may not know yet) that they are incredibly talented, can make the time for writing, yet somehow, something else seems to always get in the way. We all know how self-defeating procrastination can be, waiting for a better time ("when I have more hours, when I am less rushed, etc.") until the opportunity is lost, but also that procrastination is merely a habit. J …

Hello future friends and socialites!

My name is April. I’m a Reiki Master Practitioner and I live in Winnetka (near Woodland Hills). I’ve noticed that The Valley (San Fernando Valley that is) doesn’t offer much in the way of support for Reiki Practitioners or those interested in Reiki. You seem to have to go far away in either direction. I’d like to try to change that. These days with how busy people are (myself included) and how expensive gas is, it would be nice to get together with others locally. So that said, I’m looking for …
