Who has made a difference in your life?

This just in:

Lake House Health & Learning Center is now hosting a community notebook from The Journal Times, the daily newspaper in Racine. The notebook is just that -- a spiral-bound and lined notebook in which visitors are asked to thoughtfully answer a question about the connections in their lives.

Our question is, "Who has made a difference in your life?"

This is a great question. It's exactly the kind of question that I like to ask the people I work with who may come to me for counseling or coaching so they can reflect on the people who have influenced their lives and how they are changed through their relationship with another person.

With so much of the content in our news media focusing on what we consider traditional news and what I call trauma -- war, vehicle accidents, crime, disease and pain -- it is good to have intelligent articles that encourage us to reflect on what relationships makes a person and what makes a life.

Stop by Lake House at 932 Lake Ave., Racine, Wis., to write in our notebook (only first name and place of residence required). Or just take a moment to ponder the question and answer for yourself.
