The weather gets hotter and my garden starts to bring it on so I know Summer in the South is in full swing. Hopefully, in between beach trips and pool parties, you are all keeping happy and cool.
This month brings a variety of behind the scenes changes in color, logo, website, and newsletter design. Hopefully, you like the changes you see. If not, please drop me a line and let me know what you would do differently.
In the past it seemed like the events slowed down a bit over the summer but this year feels a little different. This summer we have lots of options and choices to choose from on the calendar, so have a look and hopefully we’ll see you at an event soon.
As always, my wishes for you to enjoy the journey Lori
P.S. – If you are feeling in the mood for a good meditative Labyrinth walk , check out the brand-new one at Unity of Charlotte. It is open to the public.
In this ever increasingly stressful world, it is difficult to find enough time for adequate relaxation. In order to lead a healthy and productive life, stress management and relaxation is essential to one's well being. We no longer have luxury of working an 8-hour day and due to cell phones and email we aren’t able to leave our work behind at 5PM. For those if us with families we have to add “family duties” to our day. This combination takes your day hostage from when you wake to when you go to sleep at night: then it starts all over the next day.
Stress will affect every area of your life. You won’t be able to think correctly, do physical activity and it will keep you from getting a good night’s rest. Managing stress is crucial to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
