AWTR Show 527: Shot@Life
On this week’s empowering episode of Army Wife Talk Radio, we’re chatting with guest Rachel Dawson about Shot@Life.
Has Worry Got The Best of You?
Do you allow yourself to stay awake deep into the evening, worrying about things that will never come to pass? Do you find yourself thinking about yesterday and how it will affect your tomorrow? This has been me since the middle of May. Something struck at home and consumed me with worry—worry for today, worry for tomorrow. I haven’t been able to think and dreams haunt my night. I’ve finally found the courage to write about it and hope it helps you, too.
A Visit Home
I’m currently back in my home state of Indiana, visiting with family. My husband is PCSing to Korea next month, (you can read more about that here), and we decided a visit home was incredibly overdue. So far, we get to come back to the Midwest about once a year, so it’s always nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of installation living every now and again.
Staycations Around Your Duty Station
Military and civilian families from coast to coast have either gone or are preparing for their much anticipated (and often much needed!) summer vacations. Most of the time, we spend months planning for our trips, especially if they’re far away. But, sometimes, a vacation to a distant land isn’t viable. Summertime is also the time of the year that boasts the most expensive rates for flights and vacation packages. My husband and I try to plan on big vacations during the off-season, just to save some bucks in our big trips. Staycations are in the cards for many this year.
Supporting Gold Star Families
I’ve been teaching classes on the military installation lately, and I’m often amazed by how little the military population knows about Gold Star Families. I believe one of the first steps to be supportive of them is to understand the terminology. The second way is to lend your time and or talents to the cause.
Things Aren’t Always as They Seem
Two weeks ago I was in a great mood as I left my office. I was driving home, and I didn’t to come to a complete stop at a stop sign. Just coming from Korea, most of us know that road signs and signals are considered “optional” over there, and these bad habits, well… they carry over back to the states.
So, you can imagine that I was not even remotely surprised when I saw the flashing red and blue lights come out behind me.
‘Tis Still the Season
We’ve just wrapped up the holiday season with a neat little bow and the new year is upon us. All of those feelings of joy, sharing, gifting, and goodwill to all are about to run down the drain as we go back to work, school, and schedules. Here’s the thing, though—’tis still the season!
