A Me Day is NOT optional!

Taking a Me-Day | Psychology Today: Over the past two decades, I have learned how important "Me-Days" are to maintaining our overall wellbeing. Religiously I begin and end my day with me day.

When I fail to incorporate "Me-Days" into my weekly routine, I find that my normally healthy body begins to exhibit signs of acute or chronic stress. As an educator and woman, it is essential that I master the art of a Me-Day and would encourage all who not only care about their wellbeing, but others to do the same.

Reflection: Survival by Cherie

There are times I feel my survival is at stake.  Not life, but spirit. Surviving requires you hold firm to what you know is right.
