Do you want to reduce your risk of death by about 20%?

Your risk of heart disease to as much as 30%?

Then take a vacation.

One study showed that those who took a vacation every year over a nine-year period were able to lower their risk of death and heart disease.

There is growing research that links vacationing with positive health benefits. Better heart health, lower metabolic syndrome, lower levels of depression, and greater happiness are all results from taking some “me time.” Even a short break can pay off! When middle managers were assigned to either take a four-day vacation or to take time off at home, the ones who left town reported more positive effects on their stress and well-being. Those effects continued for up to 45 days.

Summer season is right around the corner! If you haven’t booked a trip, maybe it’s time to treat yourself to a sabbatical. After all, it’s for your own health!

Father’s Day is coming up, a day when we celebrate perhaps the greatest work men do. Teaching your children, instilling the lessons that will shape their character and their lives. Is there any work more important?

Interestingly, Father’s Day got started thanks to a young mother named Sonora Louise Smart Dodd. She and her five siblings had been raised largely by her father after their mother died in childbirth, and she thought it would be nice to honor the role that fathers played for their families with a holiday to match Mother’s Day. From that first Father’s Day in 1910, a worldwide celebration emerged – a celebration that fathers truly deserve.

I love a good quote. It inspires me to do better and to do the things that seem difficult. Here are a few that have been on my mind lately;

“One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.” - Malala Yousafzai

“The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.” - Sydney J. Harris

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” - Benjamin Franklin

“Our greatest natural resource is the minds of our children.” - Walt Disney

These quotes get my mind thinking about the next generation. Educating those who will follow us is a vital part of a balanced life. This is especially true, I think, when it comes to financial education. How did you get to where you are today? The things you learned could so easily be lost…so are you passing that on to your children? Or to your successor?

This concept is incredibly important to my team. Not only are we seeking to keep learning ourselves, but we also want those who follow us to pick up right where we left off. We are dedicated to helping you do the same. If you don’t know where to start or what those coming after you should know, my team and I are happy to help!

Now, one more quote to leave you with:

"The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts." - C.S. Lewis
