The holiday season is upon us.
From the orange pumpkins that piled at the markets, to the sheet ghosts fluttering from the trees, to the seemingly endless shelves of sparkly Christmas decor, to the new year's party invitation that might be in the mail, we are regularly reminded about the opportunities to be "happy" about the holidays.
Here at Lake House, we are doing our part to help you make the holiday season spiritually meaningful.
We are continuing to offer our Constellation groups, which work with family energies to bring new meaning to "peace on earth," starting with a women's retreat on Saturday and continuing weekday groups into December.
We are creating a Fall Health & Gift Fest on Nov. 13 so you can support local and regional artisans, craftpersons, innovators and chefs while keeping healthy and finding great treasures.
InterPlay arrives in November and December to celebrate the fruits of the coming darkness and bring joy and fun to our bodies and spirits! It will be a great seasonal experience with a friend or for yourself.
Finally, there is the Blessing of the Gifts, our eighth annual holiday project on Dec. 4 that gives to the needy while bringing joy to giving.
See Lake House calendar for details.

Twelve-step followers have a resource for recovery, a special guided imagery from Health Journeys called Guided Imagery for the 12 Steps of Recovery. It's recommended by Belleruth Naparstek, the psychotherapist who is the founder of Health Journeys. Find out more about how guided imagery can enhance recovery here.
Resource for end of life issues
For families dealing with end-of-life issues, Tender Legal Care is a sensitive and useful free e-book that gives lots of information about organ donation, living wills, chemotherapy, life support and artificially administered foods and fluids and more.

Insurance notes
This is the time of year when employees have the opportunity to review their health insurance plans and make changes in their levels of coverage or select an alternate plan to start Jan. 1, 2011. One insurance plan that is taking enrollment during the month of October is WEA Trust, which offers health coverage for state employers, retirees and school district employees. If you qualify, you may want to take a special look at this respected plan.
