Many of us worry about being alone. Sometimes we find ourselves settling because of our fear of being alone. It seems that this fear is a very common theme. We may tolerate and accept things from others that we would not usually do because of our fear of being alone. Often this fear pushes us to a place of not being able to identify ourselves. In the process of not wanting to be alone over time, we lose ourselves. If you must change who you are as a person, or give up things that are important to stay in the relationship, you need to measure what is going on and does this relationship benefit you. Join me today as I look into understanding the fear of being alone and what it is saying about you, while in a relationship.

On Today's show, I want to talk about how to stay healthy. It is important to stay healthy throughout the entire year. When we don’t feel well we get stressed and anxious. When we get sick we tend to reflect back and wonder what we could have done to have prevented the illness. Along with the physical symptoms of an illness, we can experience emotional symptoms. Seasonal Affective Disorder, “SAD”, is an emotional illness that can bring us down. Join me as I give some tips and tricks on how to stay well both physically and emotionally this year.
