It's October already!!

I can't believe that September has rolled by already! I wish that I could say it feels like Fall is creeping up on us in October...but this is Dubai...so no, it still feels like Summer in terms of weather. 
Despite the weather we will still celebrate all the pleasures and fun of this time of year! In the month of October we will celebrate Diwali, UN Day and our Fall Festivals. It should be an exciting time. If you go to the counseling newsletter tab you will notice the October installment of my newsletter. This issue is centered on the topic of appreciating diversity and teaching tolerance in honor of UN Day. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful.
You will also notice some new parenting and personal wellness events under those tabs. Please do let me know if you hear of good opportunities in either of those categories as I would love to share them with everybody else.
Have a restful weekend.
