Poet’s Corner – The Garden

We've had a lot of rain, but Marsha Solomon reminds us it is good for the garden!

Walk the path of a filled garden

Weaving in and out.

Everything is made of circles.

Morning glories peek around the corner

In brief existence.

Taut threads of umbrellas of colors.

Flowers multiply in harmony.

Daisies stand tallest and daylilies

Are vibrant and hardy.

Marigolds in yellow, orange and red

Are scented strong.

Bleeding hearts thrive in shady places and

Chrysanthemums symbolize joy, longevity and optimism.

Circle the path around the corner

Holding the covering of roses

Like paper lanterns glowing sideways

In crimson of light.

Poem, “The Garden” and artwork, “Bouquet,” by Marsha Solomon

Before You Book: What Military Families Should Verify About Virtual Mental Health Care

A video appointment may look like the only workable option after duty schedules, school pickups, dinner, and caregiving. Then the hidden questions arrive. Is a referral needed? Is the space private enough? Will this plan cover the service? Does the format fit the person who needs support? Reviewing TRICARE mental health coverage for online care begins with one distinction: clinical fit and benefit eligibility are separate decisions. Virtual care can mean routine therapy, medication management,

The Comfort We Often Overlook: Why Your Office Chair Matters More Than You Think

A home office often starts with appearance. You choose a neat desk, add warm lighting, and organize shelves. The chair may receive less attention. At first, that seems reasonable. It only needs to look right and feel comfortable for a few minutes. For many women, working from home means moving between professional duties, family responsibilities, and personal needs. A chair that feels fine briefly may become uncomfortable after several hours.  Everyday Signs of a Poor

At 45, My Hair Started Thinning. I Didn’t Want a Wig—I Wanted My Old Hair Back

I never thought I’d consider a hair topper. I just wanted to feel like myself again. I never thought I would be someone who worried about my hair. At 45, I was still doing most of the things I had always done. I colored my hair when my roots showed, bought new styling products when something stopped working, and changed my haircut whenever I wanted a fresh start. Hair had always felt like a simple

5 Natural Dog Chews That Are Worth Adding to Your Pet’s Routine
