Hot off the presses - January Edition!
Hello D2 Neighbors!
Time sure is flying by - we are nearing the end of February already! Because February is Heart Health Month, I have been energized and heart-focused all month long. During our Council Work Sessions and Council Meetings, I have been providing heart healthy exercise tips. I also attended a workshop held by the Fayette County Extension Office where heart healthy food and recipes were shared.
When I think about what it means to be heart-healthy, my passion for fitness automatically comes to mind, but I had an "a-ha" moment recently - my service to my neighbors is also heart-healthy. Let me explain:
- I have been attending D2 Neighborhood and Homeowner Association meetings—the gatherings that are the heart of each neighborhood.
- I taught a free community fitness class that was full of heart-pumping exercises.
- I attended the Lexington Fire Department's Annual Awards Dinner and celebrated the heroes and she-roes who lead with their hearts every day.
- I went on a ride-along with our Community Paramedicine Program and witnessed love-in-action as they cared for those in our community.
- I re-ignited an old project with our Senior Services Commission that will be coming soon to a LexTV (and YouTube) near you! Seniors have a special place in my heart and I enjoy serving this population.
- Participated in a few Black History Month Programs that made my heart sing, especially when speaking with our children and youth!
Neighbors, I encourage you to join me and lead from the heart this month and throughout the year!
With much gratitude and thanks,
Sincerely,
Councilmember Shayla D. Lynch, JD
