Changing what you eat is difficult for many reasons. You’re trying new foods (often one’s you’ve never heard of, thought about, or cared to buy) and you find all the healthy foods are ones you just don’t like. And if we’re honest, no one really likes cauliflower – even in the form of pizza. But as with our yearly resolutions, changes …
Life is just busy right now. You’re planning Christmas activities around your side of the family and your spouse’s family, then there are friends and coworkers, and it’s about time someone either invented an invisibility cloak or time machine. Unfortunately, these objects don’t exist so we’re forced to live like mere mortals and instill boundaries between work and life during …
Do you feel like you’re forgetting something? Maybe it was an ingredient in the dish you just brought to the office Christmas party or you’re not sure you put the correct name on a gift at home.

While supporting our community isn’t reserved solely for the holiday season, this is the time we are needed even more. Not only is giving back good for our community, it’s …
This time of year we are drawn toward participating in charitable giving. Helping our community in areas where we’ve been blessed is one of the best ways to provide for those around us, but sometimes it’s difficult to find reliable sources, create time in busy schedules, and donate outside of our budgets. However, limits to time and budget should not …

All it takes is a dash of effort and a dollop of creativity.” [/perfectpullquote] About a year ago, I had a conversation with one of our members who said something that plays in my mind every day: “When my family succeeds or gets …
The holiday season sparks a desire in all of us to help and give what we can to others, to feel as though we are needed and can have a positive influence in our community.
