In Silicon Valley we balance our work and relationships, leisure interests, and commitments with concerns over the economy and the cost of living. We're still connected as we browse the net, but perhaps we are seeking more answers, and considering deeper meanings.  American life has always been defined by our involvement in world events and our sense of commitment to the well-being of others.  Our pressures are greater than ever, and our societal conflicts are troublesome.

This site is about coping with the events of modern life, discovering ways to make life easier, and more fun ...through articles and information that you can use, and information about resources for self-help and counseling.  See our monthly News-You-Can-Use, and the archived articles below.  Resources on this site are provided by Counseling for Modern Life, located in San Jose.  For information about counseling, or the therapists and services available at Counseling for Modern Life,  click here To view the document "Notice of Privacy Practices" click here.

 

In this issue:    Once again we are entering the holiday season.  For some, the holidays are a time of joy and celebration of family.  For many, the holidays are stressful and disappointing. We hope that you will find resources to cope, suggestions for renewal, and the heart to continue your quest to understand the meaning of life, or to improve the life you live.
