Did you read my last post and try to start a 21 day chart to develop a new healthy habit, or to help you try to get rid of a bad habit? I did. Although there are many things I could attempt, I chose this goal: To work on my book, I Am Awesome!, (a workbook on improving self esteem, geared towards middle school kids), at least one hour a day. So far so good! You'd think an hour a day would be a cinch, but not with my

Wishing you tons of energy and a positive outlook when working on your wellness goals, and in your day to day life! And, hey, I hope you are now feeling motivated to plan a little trip, or a party, or something similar that you can look forward to and work towards. Enjoy!
