Avoid Chewing Ice in Hot Weather

While chewing ice may seem refreshing during scorching summer days, it poses a significant risk to your dental health. Each time you crunch down on ice, your teeth are vulnerable to chipping, cracking, or even shattering. In severe cases, a cracked tooth may require extraction if the damage extends below the gum line. Don’t let a dental emergency ruin your summer vacation. Opt for a safer alternative to stay hydrated: reach for a refreshing glass of cool water. Preserve your smile and savor the season with healthy choices!

Aging at Home

Many seniors would prefer to stay at home than move into a care facility, but there are some challenges to consider: finances, physical mobility, social network, health concerns, and safety in the home. If your aging loved one decides to remain at home, discuss plans as a family and possibly with a trusted advisor. It’s important to ensure your parent(s) can live comfortably and safely at home, using various services, aids and tools to make things easier. Especially for clients with dementia, in-home care can also provide much-needed day-to-day practical and emotional support, as well as an escort on outings.

Living Without Regret

Holding onto regret is like dragging around the weight of the past wherever you go. It drains our energy and makes us less available for living life tin the present because we are constantly looking behind us to the past. When we continue to feed this endless pattern, it weighs us down. When we can choose to move into applying what we have learned instead of becoming stuck, we transfer our energy into something constructive and creative that gives us back our life force and sets us free. Regret when released becomes a learning that allows us to grow.

Do I Have Hearing Loss?

The first noticeable sign of hearing loss is often difficulty in communication between two people. It can be frustrating to both sides when one person is repeating themselves. When communicating with a person who has hearing loss, volume is not always the biggest concern; speed and articulation of the words can be more a factor. Eye contact, a slightly slower pace of talking and clarity of words is crucial. If you suspect that you or a loved one has hearing loss, a hearing professional can help you experience an improved quality of life. Contact us today to learn more.

Discover Your True Authentic Self

The idea of “finding yourself” is often misunderstood. You’re not a lost $10 bill in an old coat pocket. Your true self isn’t missing; it’s hidden beneath cultural conditioning, others’ opinions, and childhood conclusions turned beliefs. As Emily McDowell once said: To truly find yourself, you must return to who you were before the world shaped you—an unlearning, excavation, and remembering. As a coach, I guide clients to become their best selves. Together, we peel back layers, challenge beliefs, and revive forgotten dreams. Let’s embark on this transformative journey, shedding external influences and reconnecting with your authentic essence.
