**[AFTER THE LITTLE CHICKIES FLY THE COOP]{.underline}**

**Presenter: Roxanne Thompson, MA, LPC**

This seminar will explore life after all the kids leave home. Moms find
themselves alone or looking carefully at that person they married a
lifetime ago. Empty nesters are often surprised at how they react to the
house being quiet and having no one to look after. Emotions range from
profound grief to a state of unexplained joy.

Empty nest is often characterized as a scary, dreaded time in life for
moms who have successfully raised their children. Not so! After the
shock of ten fewer loads of laundry per week, a grocery bill that
actually fits within the budget, and the tv not blaring 24 hours a day
... a new era begins! See how fun the rest of your life can be when you
plan ahead to fill the void before it occurs.

[Thompson, Roxanne.]{.underline} Roxanne has been in private
psychotherapy practice since 1992. Areas of practice include trauma and
abuse, family issues, relationships, issues of people with disabilities,

give participants tactics to conquer change, so they can park anywhere.

**[LEGAL WELLNESS]{.underline}**®

**Presenter: T.A. Taylor-Hunt, Counselor & Attorney at Law**

Legal Wellness® defines the relationship between an individual and the
law. The health of that relationship is measured by your "Legal Health
Quotient." Just as our physical health can affect our ability to enjoy
our life and be productive, our legal health can also affect our
well-being. Legal wellness is much like physical wellness in that, even
when something is wrong, we may not know exactly what to do about the
problem, without assistance and support.

Workshop participants receive information on a wide range of topics
including, basic estate planning, asset preservation, insurance, and
consumer protection. A personal Legal Wellness™ Self-Assessment is
completed which provides a "snap shot" view of participants' "legal
health quotient" and highlights areas where they may need to focus extra
attention. Our goal is to provide quality information concerning current
real-world legal issues. Exercise your power and take the initiate to
bring "legal wellness" into your life.

"must do's?" How does this mental/emotional state affect our clarity,
our health and our joy?

This presentation powerfully assists people in taking dominion over
their attitude when challenges multiply. This topic strikes close to

experienced in years.
