Words of Wellness Wisdom (WoWW)


from Susan Greeley, MS, RDN


This Thanksgiving and with the full holiday season chaos approaching, I crave nothing more than quiet moments to help restore some peace of mind and balance (and calm my nerves!) Are you feeling the same?

 

It has been quite a year, and I am hoping for many of you, you’ve had a chance to get away to new places on vacation or make a trip abroad that had been postponed. With each newsletter, I like to give Members an update on all of the wellness activities we have going on, and I am spending more time working on bringing meaningful, valuable “Affinity Partners” that enhance your wellbeing. Take a look below at our newest partner, Wander Health, which I’m excited to share with our world travelers! In addition, you’ll find our latest recipes (and one of my favorite Thanksgiving appetizers, stuffed mushrooms) and webinars, as well as my podcasts and blogs, all revolving around healthy aging and prevention.

 

This wellness letter would not be complete without me incorporating an inspirational quote. As I write, I am grateful that in the Northeast we have had perhaps the most beautiful fall we’ve experienced in recent memory. I love walks in nature and embrace the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson – “Adopt the pace of nature: Her secret is patience.”

 

Thank you for being a CCPHP Member. I’m wishing you patience and compassion along with much peace, joy, and love as we close out 2024 and soon start a new year with hope and good health!
