New year, new moves! But the best way to make the most of the New Year is to change right when the inspiration hits. I think you are more likely to stick to your goals at that moment. And remember, if you falter, it's okay to start over. Click to read the January 2013 Newsletter

Call To Arms for Mental Health Care
This article is actually about parenting, and how we have set up this nuclear family system which puts a lot of pressure on two people to parent. We live in houses with a mom, a dad, two kids, and a dog. This is America. But, in many ways this secular American system, though it looks ideal it sets us up for failure too often. Nuclear families are lost and lonely, struggling to find support in the midst of economic crisis like unemployment, in times of hardship which lead to divorce and in times of illness. When we divide up into little ricky-tacky families we seclude ourselves from society. Behind closed doors we stay connected via the internet, the phone, the TV, but what we forget is that when the time comes we need human interaction to get through the harder times.
I think the mental health profession was created in many ways to support this lifestyle, so why do so many people see mental health work as the end to a means when things are not going well? I say, utilize it! Read my article about parenting and mental health care here.

The New Years Rock Bottom Article
Well it's 2013, and I know most of you have some new year's resolutions you'd like to get started on. I start a lot of my resolutions however, year round, when the epiphany hits. This article was written shortly before new years, but you know, it applies to every day of the year. If you want to make a change, why not start now.
Hitting rock bottom doesn't mean you have to wait until Monday, or New Years Day or what have you to start something new, when you are ready to make a change, do it then and there. Putting something off until the first day of a new month, week or year is just postponing the enivitable and is purported with fear. Do it today!!

Happy Winters Solstice!
Happy Shortest Day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Sometimes the months pass so fast, I can't believe it's winter already. Summer seems so close.
My summer and fall were filled with lots of fun, beach, parties and yes drinking!! I've been going through a metamorphosis of sorts in terms of finding new found independence, breaking some old die-hard relationship patterns and relishing in my exhilerated-ness of well being... well most of the time. I recent months however, I've found that it's too easy to hang out with friends and carry on, and get derailed from the reality of life.
There is not better time than the present to make change. That's always been my motto, and to compound that there is really no better time than to make change than today's winter's solstice.
It's a great time to start with gratitude. A deep appreciation for what you do have. Your life, your breath, your friends and family. That's where I am starting. Where are you starting?
Here's yet another article I wrote about change... Have a read!
