Have you hugged a Veteran today?

America
home of the free
because of the brave
Have you hugged a Veteran today ?

Americans have always answered their country’s call to duty and fought no matter what the cause or reason for the war. We are proud of those men and women who have played an important part in defending our freedoms throughout our history. The events of these wars and the people who fought and died for this country are valued by all Americans as links to our common heritage and our growth as a nation. Remember that the men and women of the United States Military have freely chosen to protect us and give us this gift. It is a gift that can never be reciprocated in full, and only asks for remembrance in return.
Many American Soldiers will not come home from their stations of turmoil and danger around the world to be with their families and friends for the holidays.
The American Soldier will stand steadfast and strong, continuing to protect us and fight for freedom in places around the world with conditions that we cannot even begin to imagine. May God Bless them and their families, and may He hold them safe in His arms until they come home again.
The opportunity to receive education benefits is one of the most deserved and rewarding ways we can show appreciation for our veterans. Healing Hands School of Holistic Health is honored to take part in the Post 911, chapter 33 GI benefits.
We truly believe that the skills you learn will allow you to smoothly transition into a rewarding and lucrative career. More importantly, the self-exploration and inevitable healing journey you begin, will bring lifelong benefits to your mind, body and soul.
The education benefits you have earned as a veteran will cover your entire tuition, all supplies needs as well as a generous monthly living stipend and an additional book stipend paid to you directly.
If you joined the military it is because you have a passion for people and a desire beyond yourself to make a difference in the world and the lives of the ones you love. Massage therapy is one of the few professions that allow you to truly make a difference in your own life and the lives of others every day. By enrolling in Healing Hands School of Holistic Health, you can be part of this exciting allied health career; providing massage to help others overcome chronic pain, recover from injuries and illness, reduce stress, and participate in proactive healthcare and wellness.
In our difficult economic time, the field of massage and holistic health is one of the few rapidly growing fields. You can work in a variety of arenas from hospitals, spas, chiropractic offices, to acupuncture clinic or on base working directly with the wounded warriors program. Alternatively, with the network of connections you already have through the military you can quickly build a large private client base allowing you to work flexible hours, making your own schedule and working with people you already know and love.
If you have ever been interested in massage, sports injuries, herbs, eastern medicine or any type of alternative health and wellness practice, you will not regret investigation our programs.

A tip from Japan

NETWORKING TIP OF THE MONTH

In Japan, the business card is treated with respect and honor, and is often considered an extension of the owner. When a business card is presented to someone in Japan, the recipient must receive it with both hands, bow, and express gratitude to the card's owner for the opportunity to meet with them. Most importantly, the recipient must not put the card away immediately. Instead, the recipient takes a few moments to really look at the card and comment on something that catches their attention.
While you might get a few funny looks if you bow in front of everyone you get a business card from, consider the last part of that anecdote. Instead of hastily throwing someone's business card in your pocket as soon as you meet them, try examining the card a little more closely. A few things could happen:

1) You might get a better sense of the card owner's personality
2) You might have a better shot at remembering who this person is after the event is over
3) You might be able to start a conversation based off something you notice on the card
4) The card owner might just appreciate that little extra effort that you put in and remember you for it later!

A Story

Once upon a time... I had two friends with big, wise, wide open hearts. These two friends also had a big dream, a dream who's roots had grown as they had made their way through life together. A dream that, at first, only the two of them could see. But they were adventurous sorts, and they decided to set out on the path towards their dream. They planned and they worked and they gave their dream all the love and attention that they would give their own baby child. And the dream was born, and the dream began to breath and be real. Around this time, I went to visit these friends and their dream. I went in the dream with them, and felt it was all around me. And once inside, I was amazed. I was amazed at how smart it was and how wise was the way that its parts fit together and how good it felt, in so many ways, to be there. I was amazed at the value to be gained from being there. I was amazed that my friends knew not only to dream a beautiful dream , but to make it happen in the real world. Wow. Not only that though, because, the dream kept growing. The dream wanted to grow, and it grew into a size where my two friends could no longer hold the dream in their own two arms alone. The dream was growing, and my friends were growing too. And they dove into it with their big, wise, wide open hearts, and they dove into all they had learned in their travels together, and they created a dream within a dream. And the dream within the dream was a dream to attract and train other dreamers with big, wise, wide open hearts and with capable, loving arms to help them carry the big dream. And my two friends planned and worked and gave this new dream within a dream all the love and attention they would give their own child, and this dream within a dream was also born and became real. And they did attract amazing people, but even more, within the dream within a dream, these amazing people blossomed and shone, so that they did help to hold the dream in their capable, loving arms, and together they helped to make the dream ever more and more beautiful. And the dream, and the dream within a dream within a dream, that were first dreamed by my two friends, were blessings that blessed all they touched. And so they continue to be to this very day. -with all her love Nira
