Taking Time for Healing

By Arlene Harder, MA, MFT

For this newsletter I had hoped to introduce the launch of the Better Tomorrows Program for September. However, from time to time into every life come a few aches and pains, and sometimes we have to deal with a bit more.

I am currently in the latter position and am writing this as the last newsletter I can guarantee assembling for awhile. Near the end of October I will need an operation on my back. Of two minds in the matter. One is ouch. The other is great! I'm looking forward to having freedom of movement. And even though a trip to the Galapagos Islands and Machu Picchu planned for December has to be postponed, now I can look forward to having energy to walk when we get finally there.

Until I get back to sending newsletters again, I hope you will visit the blog, where I have pre-loaded something for every other day for the next several months. And if you sign up to get information about the Better Tomorrows Program, you are almost sure to receive something from me before the newsletter comes out again.

Hope you like this new format for the newsletter.
