  Letter from the Founder
These days it’s easy to get lost in the chaos of busy schedules and economic woes and totally lose sight of our blessings. Fortunately, if we make it a priority, this time of year gives us a perfect opportunity to refocus. That's why our theme this month, “Celebrate What Matters Most,” highlights executive coach Joan Wright’s thought-provoking article on living a life of significance. In This Issue

 
 
What Matters Most
Living a life of success AND significance challenges us to give the best that is in us every moment of every day. It is a constant and worthwhile challenge. And good role models make it easier.

Help for ACOA
People who grew up in a household with an alcoholic parent often have trouble developing healthy relationships as adults. But with the right help, the difficulties can be overcome.
