The Winter Crisis Program assists Ohioans facing service disconnection, those who have already been disconnected, individuals needing to establish new service, and those required to pay for a service transfer. It also supports households with 25 percent or less of bulk fuel in their tank to maintain service. Qualifying households must have a gross annual income at or below 175 percent of the federal poverty level. For a family of four, that is $56,262.50. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call your local Kno-Ho-Co-Ashland office.

If you’re prone to panic attacks, a simple trick could make a big difference: keep sour candy on hand. The intense taste provides a powerful sensory distraction that helps redirect your brain away from anxious thoughts and calms the mind.

Studies suggest that engaging the senses during moments of stress can reduce the severity of panic episodes. Sour candy stimulates taste buds and triggers focus on the present, giving your nervous system a chance to settle and regain control.

This easy, portable strategy is a natural way to manage sudden anxiety. Next time you feel a panic attack coming on, popping a sour candy might be all it takes to distract your mind and regain calm quickly.

⚠️ The same lesson keeps knocking until you answer it.

Different people. Different settings. Same ending.

You call it bad luck.

It’s not.

It’s a mirror.

Life repeats what you refuse to confront.

You react the same way, so you get the same result.

Over and over.

Then one day, you pause.

You choose restraint instead of impulse.

Honesty instead of comfort.

Responsibility instead of blame.

The pattern breaks instantly.

Growth isn’t loud.

It’s one quiet decision made differently.

And suddenly, the cycle loses its grip...

Comfort is a quiet trap.

It feels safe. Warm. Familiar.

Nothing hurts, but nothing grows.

Days blur. Ambition dulls.

You tell yourself it’s fine. It’s not.

Progress demands friction. Risk. Discomfort.

You have to shake your own routine.

Choose tension over ease.

Struggle sharpens you.

Staying comfortable keeps you small.

Growth starts the moment you stop protecting peace and start chasing progress.
