Yin or Yang?
Are you more Yin or Yang? You might have heard the terms Yin and Yang before. They are typically associated with Yoga or Chinese medicine. Knowing which one you are can really be beneficial.

Control the Candy Chaos
Self control is hard any time of the year. October to January (for me at least) is significantly harder. It’s like the food just doesn’t stop.

I have been nonstop planning, wondering, stressing, worrying, hoping, and PRAYING. If you are new to my emails, I like to send a little newsletter every Friday with little bits of info,
