Smile and Say Cheese: How to Stay Positive in an Imperfect World

Our lives aren't creamy and smooth, but rather filled with "holes" and "imperfections" like a piece of swiss cheese. Yet it's these holes that give us our unique character and depth.

Judy Belmont, a licensed professional counselor and wellness speaker, will discuss the swiss cheese theory of life - the topic and title of her most recent book - at a lunch and learn program on January 12, sponsored by the Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley.

Judy will discuss how we develop resiliency by overcoming challenges and obstacles. By moving through the holes in our lives rather than getting stuck in them, we become stronger and more empowered.
