Getting Ready for Back to School... 

We have all watched the commercial of the dad riding the shopping cart through the store aisles as the song, "It's the most wonderful time of the year" plays in the background.  Although it is sure to get a smile from a lot of parents, it can also be the most stressful time of the year.  Summer vacations come to a close, the dog days of summer are behind us, and it's time to get back to a schedule.  Many see the start to school as a time to refresh those old resolutions that may have fallen by the wayside.   For some, it is to get more organized, for others, it is to get healthy, or it may simply be to get back on track.  Make the Wellness Connection part of your back-to-school resolution.

People in relationships, whether romantic or familial, will sometimes say things that rub us the wrong way, getting under our skin. When this happens, some people can yell, scream, lament, hug it out, and move on.  But sometimes we don't move on.  
Here's why... 




It's likely that somewhere in your life you've encountered unsavory characters.  Perhaps you've endured a Rumplestilskin at the office or witnessed a wicked stepmother in action during a child's birthday party.  You can spot these types a mile away, and seem to intuitively know how to deal with them-- engage, avoid, or flat-out run, depending on the circumstances.  What may not be as obvious to you is you probably learned these valuable interpersonal skills in your youth through fairy tales.  (Read more)
