A list to help have a healthier mouth in 2016

Instead of resolutions, a checklist for better dental health By Dr. Stephanie McGann, DMD FAGD, Columnist, The Times I hate resolutions.  Instead of a few well-intentioned destined to fail resolutions, I prefer to make a list. A simple list of some of the many things I would like to accomplish (or make progress toward) during the year. By now, most resolutions have already become a memory of...

Living without regrets

Don’t wonder what might have been, make it happen By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times I can be sappy sometimes. And, never more so than when I read articles like this one about the regrets of dying people (http://www.viralnova.com/regret-when-older/).  UGH.  Heart strings. I don’t want to regret ANYTHING.  Right?  Don’t you feel that way?

Can you sum a resolution up in one word?

No list for 2014, just one word — and it’s a challenge By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times I read many blogs on a regular basis and one of my favorites is “The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin.  (She wrote a best-selling book by the same title.)  Her idea for a New Year’s Resolution is brilliant, so, I figured I would share and ask for your opinion. Every year, if you...

Ready for 2013, but without resolutions

Embracing the big picture without getting caught up the details By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times 2013. Lucky 13! Are you feelin’ it? I am.  Wanna know why?  Because THIS time I am NOT going to make any resolutions.  (I’m actually twitching as I type).  But, seriously…EVERY year I make a laundry list of ways to “improve” myself (which, inevitably include a diet and exercise...

So many things to be thankful for

Just a few of things I’m thinking of this Thanksgiving By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times Can you believe that Thanksgiving is a mere 4 days away?  How quickly time flies!  Weren’t we just complaining about how hot it was this summer? I am thankful for so many things this November, though.  I thought I’d list a few for you… I am thankful that the election is O-V-E-R.  Whatever...

Still so much to accomplish this summer

Just because we’re in the lazy days of summer, doesn’t mean there aren’t things to do still By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times I can’t help feeling that once  4th of July hits the summer slowly seeps away.  Fall is right around the corner!  School bags and supplies are making their way to the front of the stores. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! As much as I look forward...

You know you’re getting old…

The delightful milestones of the (slightly) above 40 crowd By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com Last weekend I celebrated a birthday.  And, this weekend, I am still licking my wounds. To capture the essence of what I’m feeling, I thought I would summarize in a list.

A list to celebrate a birthday

By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com This weekend marks the 1st birthday of this column! Yes, it’s true! And, I have had THE BEST TIME writing an article every week for the past twelve months. I must admit that I find it hysterical when I hear people describe my fashion opinions/musings as “controversial.”  As if telling women that they deserve to wake up in the morning and...

Another New Year, another new list

Resolutions are made to be broken, right? By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com It’s that time of year again. Resolutions, rebirth and renewal… blah, blah, blah. In all seriousness, January 1st is a date that I look forward to.  I don’t know if I’ve ever shed light on this particular aspect of my neurotic personality, but, I welcome the 1st of EACH month as a new opportunity...
