Employees throughout Diakon recently participated in a Highmark wellness initiative called Drop 10 in 10—a 10-week group weight-management program designed to help participants lose 10 percent of body weight or 10 pounds.

It’s a new season
Choking back tears, I looked around the room at the other parents seated near me and was relieved to see I wasn’t the only one trying to stay composed. We were at Accepted Students Day at my oldest daughter’s college of choice and they were showing us a “move-in” day video.
College? Move-in day? This child I have lived with and loved the last 18 years was going to go live somewhere else?
Cooking up support
I LOVE to cook and have some of the best memories growing up as a kid cooking with my family. I used to spend countless hours with my siblings, mom, grandma, and cousins making homemade Pennsylvania Dutch chicken corn soup. We made everything from scratch including my favorite part…the rivels! As I grow older, I’m excited to carry on the tradition of cooking this with my family and friends! It was a no-brainer when I decided to become involved with Dining with Diakon. I enjoy cooking so much, I figured why not be a part of an event that includes cooking while benefiting a non-profit organization at the same time?
Preserving the past
Sometime next summer, we’ll be moving. The Diakon Ministry Support offices located at Mechanicsburg, Pa., that is.
Commit to living well
Two of the most common New Year’s resolutions that appear near the top of everyone’s list are losing weight and exercising more. How can you make this year’s resolution be different from last year’s?
Resolve to enjoy the ‘small things’
Like sands through the hourglass, these are the days of our lives …. I remember eating lunch at my grandparents’ house and hearing that well-known opening credit for the popular soap opera, Days of Our Lives, play on the little black-and-white TV in their kitchen.
You gotta see the blog!
For some reason, that nasally voice from Seinfeld comes to mind: “You gotta see the baby!”
