Have you ever felt you need to reset your lifestyle? I certainly have. In fact, I am in that mode right now. I have been sick with some kind of bug the last two weeks. During this time I have felt very vulnerable. I realized my body’s ability to fight the environment is compromised right […]

I’m feeling the stress today myself. We moved into our house this past May. We’ve been working on renovations ever since.

Yes, That’s Right Self-care is not selfish. Sometimes, I look around and am reminded just how human we are. We really need to focus on self-care. The pandemic is still a thorn in our side. People are acting out and on edge (try shopping for a popular item that is short in supply if you […]

Do You Have the Winter Blues? Winter blues are the worst. Now that the weather is starting to change, I’m a little concerned about finding ways to stay active even when it’s cold outside.
