Family Matters January 2015 Diane Coffill

A Message From the Director Happy 2015! I sincerely hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday, and that 2015 will be a great year for all of us!

In this month's Newsletter, we have some great information. So, please take the time to read/scan/review (whatever you have time to do), and see how we can help you with what comes next. TAX SEASON! And, of course, everything that comes after that!

If you're like me, TAX SEASON is definitely my favorite time of year. So, we've added a few tips on where to go to do your taxes for FREE, New Year's Resolutions, and of course, Spending (Necessities vs. Habits).

In addition, you'll find information on FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) Day, 8 Activities for Parents & their Teens and information on our Teen Councils. We've expanded our Teen Councils to 5 locations around the state. We would love to have your Teens join us for this exciting new program in 2015. We can always use new ideas, fresh faces and lots of energy!

Again, this past year (2014), we had incredible support of many wonderful organizations around the state, and MANY caring, thoughtful individuals, who helped to provide Christmas to many of our service members, who through no fault of their own, were in need for the Holidays. You will see many of those Organizations listed on pages 14-16. IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE OUTPOURING OF LOVE AND CARING! We cannot tell you enough how grateful we are that you support our North Carolina National Guard and their Families, throughout the year, but especially through the Holidays! THANK YOU! Without all of you, our Adopt an Angel program would NOT be successful.

We will have many exciting programs happening around the state this year, and I look forward to seeing you and hearing from you in 2015.

P.S. You might notice a change in the 2015 Family Matters... SSG Tammy Fowler is creating our Family Matters newsletter now, so be sure to see the article about SSG Fowler. If you see her at events, talk to her on the phone, communicate with her via email, please let her know what you think.

Stay warm and safe! See you next month!

Making Your New Year’s Resolution Stick Change One Behavior at a Time It can be daunting when your list of New Year’s Resolutions is as long as your holiday shopping list. In addition to the post-holiday slump, not being able to keep your resolutions by February, March or even late January may increase your anxiety. When your holiday decorations are packed up and stored away, the frustration of an unused gym membership or other reminders of failed resolutions can make the later winter months feel hopeless.

Unhealthy behaviors develop over the course of time. Thus, replacing unhealthy behaviors with healthy ones requires time. Don’t get overwhelmed and think that you have to reassess everything in your life. Instead, work toward changing one thing at a time.
