Happy New Year! It's time to start Talking About Taking Care of Ourselves.
We are talking about the holidays this month- It's New Year’s Eve, "the day every new year is met with anticipation around the world, as revelers party, set off fireworks, set resolutions and count down to midnight to welcome in new beginnings.
