Mama Drama: Shine with authentic leadership
Lynette GIllis, Ph.D.
By LYNETTE GILLIS, Concordia professor, River Place mom
My 10-year-old son tried out for select soccer in May. He has played for numerous years and loves the game. He has soccer jerseys, soccer trading cards; we have a soccer goal in our backyard. However, he is now seeing some of his friends move onto the “elite” teams. His typical response is “I just want to play like them.”
When do we start believing that we all should look the same, act the same and be the same?
I have told him for so long that each person was intentionally and uniquely made by God for a great purpose. For most people that purpose is not found in professional sports, despite their best interest and effort.
I read recently that 5.5 percent of high school soccer players will play in college, of those 1.7 percent will play in some professional format. That means that sports are about engaging in healthy lifestyle through exercise, having fun with friends, learning about teamwork, and developing self-confidence and athleticism.

The native Texan recently returned to her home state from educational training and private medical practice, bringing her husband, a team of rescued dachshunds and a mission — for people to feel better about themselves.
About two years ago, Sholar noticed a need in patient service and care. “I felt there was gap between the traditional day spa and medical spas. I wanted to offer a cohesive, thorough fusion of the two,” said Sholar, who moved to Steiner Ranch in July. She and her husband, Buddy, have seven dachshunds.
Dr. Alina Sholar moved to Steiner Ranch this summer, bringing her husband, Buddy, a team of rescued dachshunds and a mission — for people to feel better about themselves. She opened Sage & Sweetgrass Wellness Spa several weeks ago at the Meritage building at 4500 Steiner Ranch Blvd. L-R Pepper and Presley.
A fresh idea and a new start in Texas made the timing right so she opened Sage & Sweetgrass at the Meritage building at 4500 Steiner Ranch Blvd. Continue reading
