Do you have another healthy change planned for next year? It’s not too early to start thinking about the new year. I don’t want to rush the holidays because I love them, (and they always pass by too quickly) but there is nothing wrong with a little contemplation so you don’t wake up on January 1 wondering what’s next. It’s always better to have a plan! Tell me in the comments section of my blog! I’d love to hear from you!
