Weekly Wellness Blog: Wednesday, May 27th, 2020
It is another Wonderful Wednesday!
Every year, we have stayers and leavers. This year, it seems even harder to say our goodbyes because we are unable to come together physically at the moment. Even though we are in a unique situation this year with particular challenges that differ from the norm, the following article may help you understand some of the emotions that you are feeling as either a stayer or a leaver: Goodbyes are Hard for Stayers and Leavers.
Leavers, we are so sorry that you will not be getting the in-person goodbyes that you deserve. We wish that we could hug you through a zoom call. Throughout all of the uncertainties that the world holds for us right now, one thing that we can count on is that close friendships can stand the test of distance. And, now we are pros with Google Hangouts and Zoom.
If you have a special shout-out that you'd like to send to a stayer or a leaver, please email me and I'll make sure to add it in next week's blog.

Athena Gives Back
with her mom, Shannon
Athena: Heart Warrior - Gives Back to Ronald McDonald House
"As we navigated Athena's health care and prepared for her open heart surgery, there have been so many sources of support. I wanted to find a way to give back. One day, a friend sent this new nail polish for me to try and it was exactly that little bit of happiness I needed. I saw they had a design to support heart disease and I knew this would be a fun way to raise money. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these fun fabulous nails will go to Ronald McDonald House Charities which has provided us with a place to stay during the surgeries and recovery. "
