This has not happened for 19 years and the astronomers are very excited because in January 2014, we have two new moons! We will also have shooting stars and Venus will shine brightly in the evening sky. Saturn will be close to our wonderful planet and our days will start to become longer. What a wonderful way to start the New Year!

“I’m Probably the Last Person to Write About New Year’s Resolutions”
by Susan French, Clinical Hypnotherapist
I’m probably the last person to write about New Year’s Resolutions. At my advancing age, which I am finally no longer willing to share, I realized that I gave up making New Year’s Resolutions quite a few years ago. And guess what: I’m happier for doing so.
I did that around the same time that I decided that I was no longer going to be in frenetic bondage to Christmas and other winter holidays. I did that when I realized that my recurring dream/nightmare had been coming earlier and earlier each year.

The concerns expressed parents (see below) make it imperative that school boards act now. In particular, please help your local school governing boards understand the urgency of adopting a policy that places on e-nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) the same prohibitions placed on tobacco use. Recommend the adoption of the following language: Read more ›
When most people think of tobacco, they think of people smoking it. This is usually the case, but an ever growing part of our population chews tobacco to get their nicotine. People that chew often start when it is not acceptable to smoke on the job. Read more ›
