SUMMARY:It’s the Magic in Living
DESCRIPTION:We all want to make a difference in life. It’s a chance to use our own talents and unique skills. But then — there’s the unrelenting daily routine! It can wear us out.

Rediscover the purpose\, passion and meaning in your life and work\, and how to help enliven that spirit in others. Find the magic through three common sense and courageous ways to reenergize\, reboot\, and find greater fulfillment.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Mind of the Child with Lying and Stealing Problems
DESCRIPTION:Lying and stealing can be fairly typical behaviors in children from traumatic backgrounds. They have often served to help the child survive in a world perceived as dangerous and ungiving. The mind of the child who resorts to secret and solitary behaviors may believe that needs and wants are not met by parents. We will explain the possible origins of these behaviors\, and intervention considerations will be discussed as a part of this workshop.
