A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz ( Karen@lonekeep.com)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you to our sponsors, Heart and Soul Holistic Center, Eastnet Consulting and Shorespeakers Toastmasters. Hope all of you are or did enjoy the holidays. Hard to believe that it is April! Time for planting, renewed hope and getting outdoors to take in the new life that is blooming! It is also the time of year when favorites begin again such as baseball season, area walks for charities, taxes and kite flying...
Hope that you will take some time out to enjoy some Local Happenings with some of your favorite
people and take in this lovely season of spring...
Until April 15th, don't let the tax man get you down...
Karen

A SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
by Karen E. Jarosz ( Karen@lonekeep.com)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Is fear or anxiety taking over your life? Are you constantly worrying? Does
your heart race for no reason, causing feelings of panic? Are you having
difficulty sleeping, or are you feeling sad and blue? If so you may be one
of the 35 million Americans suffering from an anxiety or depressive illness.
You don't have to "tough it out" any longer. Fear and anxiety may come in
many forms, but luckily so does help. Anxiety and depressive illnesses are
treatable medical illnesses that do not have to ruin your life.

You can conquer fear, and all the symptoms that accompany it. Take the first
step and come in for a simple, confidential, free screening. Save the date of May 1st!
For a free screening in your community you can visit: Ocean Grove Family Chiropractic
Charlotte Ryan, LCSW located at 108 South Main Street, Ocean Grove, NJ 07756
