Hello, sweet friends. How are you holding up? As we navigate an ever-changing new normal, I continue doing my best to be the good, see the good and do good.

Sleep is critical for our emotional, mental and physical well-being. In fact, a study from the University of California-Berkley showed that just one night's loss of sleep produced a 30% rise in anxiety levels compared with how the participants reported feeling the night before.

Today I am grateful for…

Remember how it feels to be in love? The butterflies in the stomach, the anticipation and excitement of seeing him or her, feeling as though you’re constantly floating on air…. I still experience those feelings with my significant other after 12 years together!

Scenario: You get a text from a dear friend who happens to be in the neighborhood, and could she stop by for a few minutes to say hello.
