Self Care – You Are Your Best Advocate

This week we are continuing our series on Self-Care and how it relates to your health and well being. Just about a month ago, my yearly physical was due.   If you are anything like myself, going to the doctor isn’t on my list of favorite activities.   Each and every time they take my blood pressure […]

Self-Care – Part 1

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with things that need to be done? Has the stress of the day kept you awake at night?
