Better Sleep is a Habit

Not getting enough sleep is both a cause and an effect of chronic stress. Sleeping resets our system and it’s also when we learn. Not getting enough sleep leads to all kinds of health and productivity issues which in turn lead to more stress. Being under constant stress leads to an energizing cocktail in our

A Mission of Service

Veterans Day is a day that I loudly and proudly proclaim my appreciation for all my sisters and brothers who followed their servant hearts to protect my freedom.   They gave up having their way and learned the military way. They gave up holidays at home with their families. They gave up hanging out with their
