	Essence of Green Green is a calm color. To provide a relaxing atmosphere and incorporate the feeling of ease, use the green family. The use of green nurtures relaxation, enhances concentration, facilitates judgment, and provides a refreshing atmosphere.					Safety Alert Take precautions when you're out and about. This email from Soror Mischele is a reminder of what can happen: (During the week of March29) , (name of Soror) was carjacked with her baby in the car.  The baby was found in wonderful condition 20 minutes later, al-humdulillah. Allah is truly the GREATEST. Baby Isa slept through the entire ordeal.  There is a rash of incidents going on in the DC area, and I am sure this is nationwide due to the crashing economy.  The perps had been watching (name of soror's) habits and knew her routine.  They took the car while she was distracted, which is the MO of these crimes. BE SAFE - STAY ALERT!
