Balance: A New Year, A Time For Regaining It

I’ve long agreed with the adage, “Our body is our temple.” Lately, I’ve been treating it more like the Temple of Doom. This month, it’s time to put the former into practice, and regain some balance in my life. I love the idea of New Year’s resolutions, but I’ve often avoided using the term. It […]
