“New year, new you!” Is there any time of year more obsessed with health habits than the new year? Even the “beach body” craze of late May doesn’t reach the same level of hype. Every time you turn the corner, somebody else is trying to get you to try a class, a supplement, a shake,…
Craig Beckinger for Honorary Mayor of Brandon! Relax for Charity! Wait. Why do I care? Why might you? I don’t personally do a lot of networking in Brandon – I concentrate on Riverview, being located here and a member of the GRCC Board of Directors.

Too many times, your vacation causes more stresses than it solves. We all have an idealistic vision of our vacation… sitting idle at the beach, watching the tide come in from between our flip-flops, with a frosty beverage by your side. However, that isn’t reality. That is a vision brought to you by Corona. Reality…
Last week I had a very rewarding event – Teacher Appreciation Day at my son’s elementary school. I got together with two other local massage therapists and offered chair massage to the employees – teachers, administrators, bus drivers and custodial staff all came.
