From Me To You
Welcome to your November issue! As the days grow shorter and the desert evenings cool, Marley Park seems to take on a whole new energy. November has a way of drawing us together, whether it’s around the table, at a community event, or simply crossing paths with a neighbor while enjoying the crisp fall air. This month’s issue of The Front Porch is a celebration of those connections and the ways our neighborhood keeps community at the center of life. One of the highlights of the season is the annual Chili Cook-Off, always a favorite here in Marley Park. It’s more than just a chance to sample some incredible recipes (though that’s reason enough); it’s an evening filled with laughter, friendly competition, and the kind of conversations that remind us why this neighborhood is so special. You’ll also find details about the many activities offered each week right here at home. From yoga sessions that start the day with peace and intention, to capoeira classes that bring rhythm and movement, to evenings of bunco where the dice and the laughter roll, there’s no shortage of opportunities to connect. If you’ve
been meaning to try something new, November is the perfect time to step into a class or join a group. Of course, November is also a time of gratitude. Whether you’ve lived here for years or are just settling in, it’s worth pausing to notice the everyday kindness and generosity that define this place. From neighbors helping neighbors to simple waves across the street, it all adds up to something bigger. So as you read this issue, I hope you’ll find inspiration not just in the events and activities, but also in the reminder that community is strongest when we show up for one another. Wishing you a month filled with good food, good friends, and plenty of reasons to be thankful. After all, in the words of Meister Eckhart, “If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.”
See you on the front porch!
