Gymnastics Inc. feels that the benefits of gymnastics training goes far beyond the acquisition of skills or tricks. We feel gymnastics is the ideal sport for building the physical attributes important to any athletic endeavor; coordination, strength, flexibility and body awareness. More importantly we feel that the sport of gymnastics, properly taught, can help develop the positive self-concepts and attitudes which are so important in coping successfully with any challenge an individual may meet.

Kitsch joins The Hope Initiative

http://kitschva.wordpress.com/

Started by 5 women and a dream, they are a quirky little shop, brimming with all sorts of handmade goodness from all corners of the lovely state of Virginia. Located in the historic neighborhood of Ghent, Norfolk, a community that is vibrant and full of town pride.

They've got something for everyone inside – from jewelry and clothing to bath products, housewares and pet stuff.  If you can’t find what you’re looking for, they will try to find someone who makes it. It may be your next door neighbor!  They also host a rotating art show on our walls featuring the art of up and coming local artists that create something that is a little different than what you find in other places.

Want to do it yourself? They hold classes and workshops to get you on your way. Knitting to sewing to painting…even hoop dancing!

Shutter Shack Photography Joins The Hope Initative

Jo Ann discovered her love for photography after the birth of her first son, over ten years ago. Since that time she has been developing her craft and aesthetic, in order to fulfill a personal dream of owning her own studio. She is a part-time Hampton Roads Photographer, Specializing in Newborns and Families. But most importantly, she is a daughter, a wife, and a mother of 2 wonderful boys as well as a graduate from NYIP.

Her goal with each session is to capture the ephemera of life, those fleeting moments that are often the most precious to us and the hardest to pin down.

In essence, she's not just a photographer, she is a memory maker.
