I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
Quick. There are about 14 hours or less for many of you to complete some of those resolutions you made back in January 2013. Not going to happen? Put your sneakers on! Run a lap and clear your head. Don’t sweat it. Life goes on. Tomorrow is a […]
As the New Year quickly approaches and you frantically search the sales bins and do an hourly check-in on the Amazon lightning deals, you may stop for a second to think about the coming New Year and what it may bring. Perhaps you may even reflect on what […]
