Those who have been through a Family Honor Real Love & Real Life parent-teen program may remember the SPICE segments. SPICE is an acronym that describes developing as a whole person – Spiritually, Physically, Intellectually, Creatively, and Emotionally

During this uncertain time, as so many individuals and families are struggling with how to cope during the coronavirus pandemic, we thought it might be helpful to post some links that can help all of us try to keep a balance in our life in each of those categories AND help with some practical stuff.
