"Sometimes I think the boy from the country
Is the only one who sees
'Cause the boy from the country
Doesn't want to see the forest for the trees."

The Christmas Menorah

“It was December 26, 2006, and the b***y of the previous day was still piled on the living room couch. After an unseasonably balmy Christmas Day, something of a winter chill had finally descended on Tallahassee. We were cleaning up the yuletide detritus – my husband, Sean, vacuuming up Christmas tree needles, Omie pulling out the skirt beneath the tree to shake outside — when Omie gasped in surprise.”

Three Steps to a Healthier Holiday

“Fortunately, having a healthier holiday (and erasing the sad story of the January scale) doesn’t have to mean skipping the office potluck or eating salad instead of turkey and stuffing. It can be as simple as stopping to ask yourself three simple questions.”

Warm up for the holiday with Mayan Hot Chocolate

“This decadent hot chocolate, inspired by the recipe that brought a smile to the cranky Judi Dench in Chocolat, is rich with a kick that is worth experiencing if you’ve never tried it. When the whirlwind of the holidays gets to be too much, make your way into the kitchen and let the aromas of chocolate and cinnamon bring you back to what the holidays are all about. Love, hearth and home.”

Safe Holidays for our Furry Companions

“Holiday decorations and plants look interesting to our furry family, too. Strings, buckles, bangles and beads are shiny and smell like their favorite people; cats love to bat ornaments off the Christmas tree, but broken glass cuts little paws; and holiday candles burn off cats’ whiskers. Any pet that eats string or ribbon usually results in an emergency situation.”

“If your Christmas tree becomes involved in a fire, you are losing not only your gifts under the tree but possibly your entire home or even your family. Each year, fire departments respond to an average of 210 structure fires caused by Christmas trees. Carefully decorating Christmas trees can help make your holidays safer.”

The City of Tallahassee Fire Department wants you to follow these guidelines while enjoying your holiday.

“I gave up on my purpose, my will and my fight for life. Each day after school, my boys would come and sit outside of my bedroom door to talk with me about their day, but I would not talk back.”

An Equal Playing Field

Team sports promote socialization. It’s on a field or court or rink where individuals blend into one group for the shared intent of playing a game. Sports also foster health, regardless of skill level or competitive drive. In Tallahassee, a newly established club has coupled the social and healthful benefits of team athletics to create a supportive, all-inclusive playing field. They are known as TGAA.

The Tallahassee Gay Athletic Association became a domestic, nonprofit organization in May 2017. Their mission is to support and connect the le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, or q***r (LGBTQ) community and friends of the community by showing up every Sunday to play sports.
