It's not about a new you as a new year rolls in, but having
a focus on a healthier, more balanced you. We can think of all
the things we fell short on in the previous year OR we can choose
to look at a new chapter of being stronger, healthier and even more
awesome. We're a work in progress and that's a beautiful thing!

One way of getting started with a new year focused on being balanced is
incorporating essential oils into our lives. Check out Goodness Chick's storefront
on goodnesshick.com for all your essential oil needs!

The Holiday Season can evoke tremendous stressors

The Hanukkah and Christmas Season are in full swing.
There's a lot of pressure for what to buy and what not to buy making
for a pretty stressful next few weeks.
This week's episode the chat is focusing more on experiences
during this time of year vs materials. There's nothing wrong with giving and
receiving gifts, but when we infuse the beauty of spending time and
creating lasting memories with those we care for it's a pretty powerful thing.

I recently lost my ninety-nine year old grandmother, Grandma Gert. GG was nothing short of amazing, independent and one of the strongest women I've ever known.
Loss is never easy. It can be numbing. I do believe we can learn from those who go before us. We can glean from their positives, their negatives, victories and losses.
My Grandmother left a heap of lessons that I wanted to share with you. Knowing her words live on would make her laugh and smile. Love you heaps and beyond, GG & I know one day we'll be together again.
