Wellness Focus
It’s the middle of January already, and I won’t lie, I am still trying to definitively wittle down my list of New Year goals. Let’s face it, last year was difficult for us all, and entering the new year was very different from the years that came before. Although, it may feel like the same old bad news day in, day out, I don’t think we should allow ourselves to feel deflated by our lack of oomph for 2021.

Adios 2020!
Well... well… 2020 you have been a crazy year my friend. First the nasty tornado in my home state in Tennessee then Covid. It’s been a wild ride. Thinking 2020 would be my year, but it honestly threw my anxiety up to the roof. I was scared, worried about what would happen next. Scared for my family, my friends, and the world. I didn’t know what to expect in the future.

3 Ways that Quitting my Routine Saved my Career . Top Story - January 2021.
We’ve all been there. When the clothes are piled high, and the dishes are forming a leaning tower of Pisa. Coffee doesn’t even touch the chaos. This chaos was my life just a few months ago. Each morning, I would wake up with the same ideology. I would hit the gym, hook up to my caffeine IV, and grinned my teeth into a forced smile. For years, I entered the same routine, and it produced the same results. I was running in circles and not even coming close to self-actualization. I was barely making space for self-care. After years of following the same routine, I realized that it was putting me closer to my grave than my goals. If I wanted to survive past 40-something needed to change. So, I threw in the towel and entered the race. Here are three ways that quitting my routine changed my career.

The key to emotional balance
This topic is an issue that a lot of people have to deal with. At some point we all get to experience times when we feel like someone would tear us apart. We all know how grim we can get when our plans do not work how we expected or when we aim at accomplishment and fail to achieve our goal because of the lack of motivation and discipline we always have. The major question is, how can we manage to change a bad day full of demotivation in a successful day full of satisfaction?

Bring It On
Dearest Donna: Well, you did it girl! You survived 2020 without getting COVID, without another heart attack or major surgery. You survived it with only one death in the family and even though he was 101 when he passed, your uncle will be sorely missed.

The fight
What can I say or do in order to get a message across to everyone? Should I broadcast it on every news source across the country? Or would it be easier if I mailed each and every person a letter? Whichever way works best, I have a great idea that could either make us or break us as a nation. This idea has nothing to do with age, color, sex, race, religion or national origin but it has everything to do with us as human beings. I hope that once you're through reading, you will look at life through a different set of eyes.

The Importance of Play During A Pandemic
Play is important - even essential. During this pandemic we have learned so much about social distancing. We have separated ourselves from those who love; our friends and loved ones miss us. But in 2021 I remind you to play!
