‘Live Well, Be Well’ Series Starts January 4
The Wellness Department from UR Medicine Thompson Health is conducting a free, six-week workshop called “Live Well, Be Well: Take Charge of Your Health,” focusing on a researched-based chronic disease self-management program developed by Stanford University.
Beginning January 4, the class will meet from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. every Wednesday – through February 8 – at the Ontario County Safety Training Center, 2914 County Road 48 in Hopewell. It is for anyone with a chronic health condition or anyone who is a caregiver for someone with a chronic health condition including but not limited to arthritis, asthma, diabetes, emphysema, heart disease, lung disease, or Parkinson’s.
Participants will learn how to build a more effective relationship with their doctors; how to communicate with family and friends about their condition; eating tips to help them feel better; how to manage medications; how to set and achieve goals; and how to deal with pain, frustration, isolation, and lack of energy. In addition, participants will explore developing an exercise routine.
Class size is limited. To register or for more information, call Amanda Reynolds at 585-396-6589 or email

For Dave Mansfield brand is sacred and evolution is key. “I cut my teeth in branding way back in the 90s,” says Dave. The former major league sports professional was a founding member of Branding America in 1994. Their efforts towards co-branding fast food chains with convenience stores gave Dave invaluable experience with consumer trends, and a vision for the future. In 2006, Dave and his co-partner and wife, Luanne, purchased land to build their dream on Seneca Lake. Read more.

Mindfulness During the Holidays
With all of the holidays and year-end activities, it can feel as though you are being pulled in many directions at once. Despite the flurry of work, shopping, and celebrating, it is important to pull back and practice some mindfulness. Somehow mindfulness seems easier to handle in the summer when you go out to get the mail and see kids riding their bikes and you can somehow stop and savor the moment. In the winter, we feel more isolated and confined. Even outdoors we are bundled up in coats and scarves. Here are some things to consider. Read More.

Unusual Holiday Wreaths
It is quite enjoyable to drive around and see the cheery wreaths on exterior doors in the neighborhood. If you are in the mood for something a bit different, keep reading. Many of these ideas are fairly easy to accomplish, even if you are less than adept at crafting. Read More.

More Holiday Drinks
Last week we had a list of punches to serve through the holiday season that could be spiked or left fruity yet sparkly for general consumption. This week, we list some more potent beverages that are for adults only. They will be fun for a small group of friends, a romantic tete-a-tete dinner, or solo as a reward for finishing that last end-of-the-year project for work. Read More.
