    Great Intentions

    December 30, 2009 /

    I read a status of a good friend on Facebook. She decided to do new intentions for 2010 instead of New Year’s Resolutions. I liked that! We go through so many areas of our lives with good intentions… mine is vacuuming a room without 17 side tracks that leave the cord strung across the floor… AGHHHH I hate to see that. The cord does get wrapped in place, the vacuum gets put away and all is well. That works for me. What intentions are you planning on using in your daily path? Life is an avenue that we walk, sometime run/jog and often trip. Lessons are learned and wounds heal…

    New Year Resolution Resources

    December 28, 2009 /

    The time of year is quickly coming upon us when many of us start to think about how we can better ourselves during the new year.

Here are some more great articles that might be of interest as we start setting goals: Staying Healthy:Why I take walks for the New YearEat Healthy Your Way From the Commissary: Special recipes for our Veterans – Cooking for 1 or 2 Look for Smart Choices in Your Commissary Mom’s “Li’l…

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from MilitaryAvenue.com

    December 24, 2009 /

    Some of us are far away from loved ones and this is one of the easiest times of the year to miss them. Others have recently enjoyed a reunion of loved ones. Some have traveled across the country to be with the family & friends they treasure. All things I have done through the years! No matter what your situation I hope that you can find the peace; the joy; the wonder, amongst the chaos. Wishing you and yours the Happiest of Holidays. – Leanne from MilitaryAvenue.com PS: Looking for something fun to do today? Checkout the NORAD Santa Tracker.

    Update on Korea for Military Families – DoD Roundtable with General Walter “Skip” Sharp

    December 15, 2009 /

    The Department of Defense Roundtable hosted General Walter “Skip” Sharp this morning to answer blogger and online media questions about the current situation in Korea. General Sharp is the Commander of United States Forces Korea and he opened with his three priorities. A quick rundown of the priorities include the ability to fight and win, strengthen the alliance between the US and S Korea and improve the quality of life for military personnel and their families arriving in Korea! My focus will be on the General’s quality of life priority which has a direct impact on the military community’s lifestyle and support in Korea. When the General arrived in 2008…

    It is Tuesday. It is snowing. It is dark gray and cold. Company is coming for lunch. Our driveway is a bear to climb and make the turns. So, a warming, aromatic entry will calm the nerves of those who came fishtailing at idiot speeds up the drive. I know my friends!Today there is a pot of soup simmering on the stove.

    World Class Athletes: Our Proud USN

    December 10, 2009 /

    This afternoon Dale and I, along with Stars and Stripes were invited to participate in a roundtable discussion: an open arena to ask questions, and listen as U.S. Navy Capt. Lori A. Laraway, coordinator, Navy’s Operational Stress Control (OSC) Program and U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Bonnie R. Chavez, Navy’s Behavioral Health Program Manager Navy Suicide Prevention and OSC policies received our questions. Stress in the military? Stress in our world? None of it can be taken lightly, and the program which the Navy has set up to move forward to meet the needs of sailors today is a generational learning series of steps. From first days at boot camp, sailors…

    Navy’s Operational Stress Control Program – DoD Roundtable

    December 10, 2009 /

    The military community is facing numerous stressful events and the services, correctly, are addressing these mission impacts “head on” with programs and support for the military members and their families. Today, Lt Jennifer Cragg hosted a Defense Department Roundtable discussion with US Navy Captain Lori A Laraway, coordinator, Navy’s Operational Stress Control (OSC) Program and Lt Cmdr Bonnie R Chavez, Navy’s Behavioral Health Program Manager to discuss the Navy’s response to a rapid increase in measured stress levels within the Navy as self reported by Navy personnel. Comparing surveys from 2005 and 2009 the Navy has seen a 16% increase in reports of stressful lives! Started in November 2008, Operational…

    USAA has been named #3 of the Top 100 of Most Military Friendly Employers by GI Jobs Magazine! That is their highest ranking ever and shows their continued commitment to support the military community with their services, products and employment!

    Tradition The Depths Can Be Only be Measured in Your Mind.

    December 9, 2009 /

    It’s traditional. And traditions in December, at Christmas time cause my thoughts to go spelunking… cave diving around the spirals of my mind. There are so many places, so many faces, so many hurdles jumped, parties attended and given, gifts purchased, cards written and received, children’s programs directed and those that we were in the audience over the years. Wonderful traditions and celebrations all. The filing cabinet for these remembrances is now standing in the living room. Twelve feet tall and lit up: 2009’s Christmas tree. Yeee Ha! It’s up, lit and decorated. And it is beautiful. We sat last night just looking at it and pointing to our history.…

    (nearly) Worldess Wednesday: Sites of the Season

    December 9, 2009 /

    I have enjoyed the Christmas Season from Panama to Iceland and States all over the country. Each with it’s own unique ‘nitch’ on the month of December. (After all I can’t wear a sundress on Christmas in New York yet very comfortably did it in Panama. Snow skiing in Florida is out of the question but the mountains of Colorado & New Mexico were quite enjoyable. And we won’t even talk about the very dark December that Iceland entailed.) These are images of my Christmas season last year. You know what is even better about this year’s Christmas Season? HUBS IS HOME! Ah life is good! I hope you are…
