MIND. BODY. SOUL.
With the holidays just behind us, and the fresh new year, we have to take time to think. Think through what we have, that we are lucky to be where we are, and appreciate how much more we have than so many others. The things to be thankful for: Health - Even if we aren't perfectly healthy. ...
Written by blogging contributor, Daniela Forte. As this year draws to a close, I find myself in a bittersweet position. This year for me was a whirlwind of sorts with a tremendous amount of changes, some of which I never saw coming. With those changes, I learned several valuable lessons that I will take with me ...
Good habits are not just something that transform you over night. They don't just start and stay forever. They are a pain to begin (at times), take hard work to continue, and typically involve lifestyle changes in order to be good habits in the long term. But how do we start? My tip.. Be realistic.

As the new year is upon us it's easy to think...A new year. A fresh bloom and start. A new you. But it's a time to not just make resolutions again, but a time to evaluate how far you've come over the past year, and few years. Perhaps it was a rough and challenging one ...
