Today, it's your celebratory speaker, Brendan Mahan, M.Ed., M.S.
Holidays, especially religious holidays are intended as a break, and often as a time of reflection. But they can also be unwelcome speed bumps in our week/month/year, if we aren't ready for them when they come. So, we're looking at the calendar as a whole and exploring when some of of these holidays will occur, and how they can disrupt things if we fail to be mindful of them.
