I have been writing a fair bit about health care and health care reform lately on this blog. It’s important that we know what’s going on with our benefits and how those changes will affect the care out loved ones receive.
Do you ever think, you don’t really want a job, you just want to make the world a better place?
There’s an app for that. Actually, an organization that is busy connecting good ideas with the people and organizations that can make them happen.
The Idealist is an organization that is doing good, all over the world. And they want you to help.

I recently interviewed with an organization I respect, and does what I want to do with the population of people I want to help.

Nearly half of active duty service members regularly chug four or five drinks at a time, qualifying as “binge drinkers.”
Looking for summer employment? You should be hitting the pavement, now.
Summer internships and more competitive positions that are career boosters, rather than simple hourly wage fillers, tend to have earlier deadlines and stricter applicant requirements. If you are switching careers or currently in school earning your degree, you should begin looking for these resume building experiences long before the summer sun starts to sweat.
Many of us have asked ourselves that question for years. Do we (I say “we” meaning the active-duty member and the spouse, since it is a joint decision) leave at 20 years? Stay in for 25? Retire after three years at the highest rank?
Or just forget about retirement altogether and leave the military after five years, or 10?
So, we’ve talked about my deep-seated hatred of group projects, right? And if we have, I’m sure I’ve also mentioned that 75 percent of my classes this semester include group work.
Sigh.
One of those classes revolves around database management. Now, those are words that I understand individually. Hell, I even understand what they mean as a combination.
Employers are gearing up to hire military spouses at these job fairs, are you ready to give them your best?
Every month the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation hosts military spouse only job fairs around the nation. The employers who attend know the great assets that military spouses can bring to their companies and they are there to hire.
Remember, dress for success, bring plenty of copies of your resume and don’t forget to register! These job fairs have a limit on the number of participants allowed and they fill up fast! Click on the link to register.
Good luck!

I want to help families stretch their benefits and dollars and improve their health. I want to teach people to return to simple, ancient techniques and use whole fresh foods to produce maximum nutrient digestion. I want to write a book that will teach families why these foods are important, and how to use them every single day.
And this is the short list of what I hope to achieve as I set upon building my non-traditional career.

Pregnant woman, and those trying to conceive, beware: you don’t have to be in a country where the birth-defect-causing Zika virus is found to be at risk for the virus. It can be passed along sexually by men who get infected from a mosquito bite while out of the country
And with PCS season and multiple, overseas, joint exercises coming in the next few months, there are a lot of military families that will be traveling to Zika infected areas.
