Digital technology has changed the way we live our lives. While technological advance is a good thing, it has also had an intrusive effect on how we live and on our peace of mind. Some of us are starting to feel like androids from Star Trek, instead of real human beings. Just like them, we walk and drive around all day connected to wires and equipment that constantly beep and ring.

Lately we’ve been reading a lot about the benefits of something called mindfulness.

Let’s face it, we all want happy, healthy and self-confident children and want them to get the most out of life.

A common focus of the holiday season is to share and celebrate family togetherness. Even extended families, normally separated from each other throughout the year, manage to somehow reconnect during the holidays. This is the spirit that defines the season. So for many military families, where a loved one may be absent due to military deployment, truly being able to enjoy season’s festivities may be more difficult.
