Health and WellnessLife’s A Game of Tug‐of‐War
by Brenda Shropshire
Have you ever heard the phrase “balancing work and family?” The term implies it’s even possible…that’s a good one, right? If anyone out there knows of an actual technique to achieve a sense of balance in say 6, (or even 7!) easy steps, send me the link or give me a call. What woman out there doesn’t feel like she’s standing in the middle of an old fashioned game of Tug
No one would argue that a one‐footed, rope‐holding monkey is not capable of maintaining, much less balancing, the

p gcrashing clutter. It’s exhausting!I think, for women, our lives are like the rope and we are the monkey in the middle. (I know, another game entirely but a fair analogy nonetheless.) We try to k b h f ki li my dance card, I just like to sit out a
dance, here and there. I need to, and so do you! I think the feeling of balance, the “Okay, I can do this.” outlook comes from creating a broader, two‐footed, more stable foundation that’ll withstand the

give and take of both sides of life. And the only way I know how to do this, effectively, is to take a break from responsibility, regularly, even if its only 20 minutes a couple times a week. Claim

some time, on a regular basis, to do things that make you happy, and don’t feel one bit selfish about it. If you want to mange your life better, trust me, you’ve gotta put your foot down.

Fall 2012 Tennis Programming

He has been teaching tennis in the community for the last 20 years and is a PTR Certified Tennis Professional.

Some of Buck’s accomplishments include #1 state ranking for 5 years running, winning 10 state championships, and was a National Champion where he played at
Madison Square Garden. Also he had the opportunity to work with Greensboro native, John Isner as a junior who is now top 10 in the world. We are looking forward to having

They are very excited to return to North Carolina, where Roger is from. Roger and Faye have been married for 31 fun filled years! When they met, Roger was the
director of the Parks and Recreation Department here in pGreensboro, and Faye was the director of the Center for Creative Arts. The added bonus
of being here is that they are now close to Roger’s grandson Ethan who is 12. Faye’s grand daughter Elizabeth lives in Brussels and, according to Faye, she is 9 going on 13! The Browns love traveling, cooking, gardening. Roger is looking forward to lots of golf
and they both are excited to join the Grandover Supper Club. ~
