WRITTEN BY GRACE THEISEN The holiday season can be hectic. It is not like school and life stop during the holidays. I have homework, presentations, meetings and my personal favorite, tests. (By the way, who thought that the holiday season would be a good time to have a test?)

With all this craziness, how am I supposed to find any time to go shopping? Life is busy. And sometimes I just have to tell myself to take a step back and live in the moment. I …

My wish for each of you this Christmas season is to be present in the kitchen, making or enjoying food with the ones you love. I know I plan to.

There is tangible “electricity” in the air that begins about mid-November and dissipates after the first …

It was very difficult to live and take care of my four small children because there was no help. I didn’t understand how to live in a new country, how things worked, and the pace of life.

WRITTEN BY KRIS A. NEWMAN A love for music and the joy of dance artfully surround the life of Deborah Lang, director of the Performing Arts School of Dance and Music in the Chippewa Valley. Deborah’s philosophy revolves around her ultimate goal: “My vision now is of dancers that will heal and healers that will dance, until all are healed and there is no need but to dance.” Deborah credits her first love, her husband, with allowing her the freedom to pursue a career in the arts. Although not one to participate in the arts, he has supported her choices-and …
