THE BUZZ September is Back to School Month


cars are on the road and that time we had to play, take a day trip or go to the movies is scheduled with activities, homework and the on- set of the holidays. So how can you keep the easy spirit of summer and carve out time for yourself as your whole life changes tempo?

Well it’s not just kids that have to go back to school. Adults could use the education as well. One of the best ways to keep your mental acuities is to keep learning, studying and grow your knowl- edge in ways that interest you and broaden your horizons. Where can you fi nd a class or workshop on various subjects that doesn’t cost a mortgage? The fi rst place to look is actually not YouTube or the internet but your town. As we age it can get harder and harder to meet people and create connections and companions. That’s why when you engage in your community you can meet people who have similar interests and are close by so after the course is over you could meet up for lunch or coffee. Many towns have a park and recreation department that provides various classes ranging from foreign language, computers, cooking and art to exercise classes. There are arts annexes and organizations that hold classes in paint- ing, photography, sculpture, and writing. You can check museums or science centers that may be having lectures or workshops in conjunction with specifi c exhibits. You can even consider your local yoga studio for classes or workshops in yoga, meditation, essential oils or a 200hr yoga teacher training.


It is so important to fi nd new things to learn that peak your interests and help you become well rounded and a fountain of information. Then when the details of what we’ve learned have faded into the background we will still have some good friends with similar interests that can last a lifetime.
