Once a sleepy farm town, Obetz, Ohio is on the rise. In recent years, the game of professional rugby has become more popular in the US and one team, The Ohio Aviators, called Obetz home for a short period of time. Although the disbanding of the group was kept ‘hush-hush,’ Obetz continues to thrive.

Isn’t it so with our lives? Although we suffer loss, we continue to push on in pursuit of something better. This type of inner strength is important; it can breed resentfulness and other emotional problems if things are just ‘swept under the rug.’ If you need help dealing with life’s difficulties, reach out today to be connected with an Obetz area therapist.
