Last month I introduced myself as a helper, an encourager, and a professional volunteer. This month I am the one needing the help. I am grateful to have made so many deep connections with throughout these past 16 years serving as an Army Wife, and I loved how my friends and I could pick up anytime and start right where we left off.

Resiliency Workshops Give Military Kids Tools for Success
“Military kids say goodbye to more significant people in their lives than most do in their entire lifetime. Our kids are resilient, constantly making new friends and new connections while figuring out how to keep their old connections alive,” she said.
The Running Spouse
I could start with “What is a military spouse?” but I would soon be running (no pun intended) out of space. A military spouse must adapt to changing schedules and develop creative ways of doing things. There will be times when one parent must become both parents. They will have to say the following, “Be careful, and I will miss you, and I love you.”
Coping Through Deployment
Sometimes life can be overwhelming. The constant demands of day to day living make it hard to catch our breath. Work, family, sports practices, being at home with small children, sick children and the list goes on and on. This can be especially exhausting when one partner is away training or deployed and “regular stuff” is left to be taken care of day in and day out. The days feel long and, at times, even like there is no end in sight.
Mission Ready and Confident in your Preventive Health
Taking a proactive role in one’s own health is a central part of the wellness routine for many. It is part of the “growing up” experience for children in the United States, and grown-ups consider it a key factor in their “adulting” practice. It can save lives, eradicate certain diseases, and improve overall health of the surrounding communities.

At Military Hospitals, Yoga Offers Calm in the Storm
Like many military spouses living in the greater Washington, D.C. area, I get my medical care at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
Sitting in the lobby at a recent medical appointment, I couldn’t help but notice how busy the place was. People coming in and out, wounded warriors heading to appointments, medical equipment being delivered, staff members rushing to their next shift, and patients receiving critical care.
Determination to Excel
Recently, we had the opportunity to hear from Sarah Cummings and now we get to read comments from her biggest supporter, her sister, Marisa. The determination to excel is clearly in the family.
