family: Keep the Holidays Free of Drama
- 12/19/14 08:03 AM
DON'T GET YOUR TINSEL IN A TANGLE
Take a lot of deep breaths and try these tips for diffusing holiday drama:
Identify in advance who and what will push your buttons
We all have “hot spots” that family members and old friends tend to push. The key is to identify these buttons before the holidays because, chances are, they will get pushed… perhaps even pounded on.
Establish your “sane connection”
This is the holiday version of the buddy system. Enlist a friend from home or a family member that will be available to you when things get stressful … (10 comments)

family: Don't Take Your Eye off the Ball
- 09/24/12 02:57 AM
Sound familiar? Well it's been coached in baseball for over one hundred years..."Don't take your eye off the ball". And that is important. Imagine trying to hit a round ball with a round bat? Not easy...and much more difficult if you take your eye off the ball.
But that applies to so many factors in life. Keeping your eye on the ball is a metaphor in life about focusing and refocusing on your purpose - your journey through life. In a professional manner, with family and friends and in your personal health too.
So, my friends...despite the myriad of distractions each … (2 comments)

family: Happy Chinese New Year - Year of the Dragon
- 01/23/12 05:08 AM
Xīn Nián Kuài Lè !! January 23 is Chinese New Year (Lantern Festival). It is a 15 day observance that is celebrated with family reunions and scrumptous feasts.
1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000
People born in the Year of the Dragon are healthy, energetic, excitable, short-tempered, and stubborn. They are also honest, sensitive, brave, and they inspire confidence and trust. Dragon people are the most eccentric of any in the eastern zodiac. They neither borrow money nor make flowery speeches, but they tend to be soft-hearted which sometimes gives others an advantage over them.

The origin of Halloween dates back 2000 years ago to the Celtic celebration of the dead.

Halloween can be a traumatic and even dangerous time for your pets. Here are some common-sense tips to help protect & comfort your pets during Halloween.
Don't leave your pets out in the yard on Halloween: there are plenty of stories of vicious pranksters who have teased, injured, stolen, even killed pets on this night. Trick-or-treat candies are not for pets: chocolate is poisonous to a lot of animals, and tin foil and cellophane candy wrappers can be hazardous if swallowed. Be careful of pets around a lit pumpkin: pets may knock it over and cause a fire. Curious … (3 comments)
