It may sound trite, but it’s still true nonetheless.

Read More ›One of my biggest pet peeves is the recommendation to ‘go ahead and have a little bit of whatever you crave’. This is a ‘tip’ seen quite often at this time of year and it’s not helpful to anyone. For those of you, and there are many who fit this description, who have kicked the […]
