Just as one New Year's celebration ends, another begins. February 10th marks the Chinese Lunar New Year and 2013 is the Year of the Snake. If you have been thinking about making a change, this is the year to make it happen. According to Chinese astrology and mythology, the mysterious snake signifies progress and attention to detail. This year, the water element influences the snake's focus and discipline. If you are ready to take on a new venture or project, prosperity and success could be in your future. And, if you need a little guidance along the way, just ask your fellow JABBERS for advice and recommendations HERE!
Happy JABBING! -Team JAB

I would like to see a psychologist or therapist (preferably female) to work out some personal and relationship issues. I prefer someone near the Biscayne Park area, but am willing to travel a little farther for the right person. Thank you in advance.

Summer Maine Stay
From Lois Clemente: REPLY
We are planning a family vacation to coastal Maine for this summer and would love your insight on where to stay. There will be eleven of us, ages one to seventy-five, and we plan to rent a four- or five-bedroom house on the ocean. Ideally we would like to find a quiet area that isn't too isolated with big Bay of Fundy-style tides, quaint towns to explore, blueberry-picking, kayaking ~ a wholesome, northern experience. If you know of such a place, please reply above. Your suggestions and recommendations are much appreciated!

Play On
From Virginia Lora: REPLY
Do you know if The Vagina Monologues is being performed locally in South Florida? A few years ago I took part in the performance ~ it was a very powerful experience for me and I would love to see if any groups/organizations are putting it on this year. Any leads, suspicions or rumors about the play coming here are appreciated!

I will soon be undergoing a surgical procedure that will require me to sleep on my back post-op. This may be a problem for me since I always sleep on my stomach. Can you help me find a way to stay on my back and sleep through the night? I have tried propping myself with pillows but this isn't working. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks so much!
