We had our lives shaken up and flipped upside down and were expected to put it all back together all on our own. In the meantime, the effects of the stress we have all been trying to balance has shown up on our hips, waistlines and behinds.

Reset with Results – Start the New Year Better

When will it be the right time to change? - What does the New Year mean to you? Maybe you sit down and set goals or get focused on what you want to achieve in the coming year.

Are you struggling to get yourself going?

If there is one strong undercurrent I keep hearing and that has been implied over and over during the past few weeks it’s that people are losing their motivation during this strange time we are living.

Sunshine, Happiness and Rainbows Everywhere!
