The secret to YOUR 2013 success.

Wednesday, January 2, 2013

Welcome to January. The month where the universe attempts to exploit our insecurities by promising it holds the (expensive) key to a healthier, happier and thinner us.

I’ll be honest about this: I was torn when MizFit asked me if I would guestblog. On one hand, since I adore MizFit and her blog, I am flattered and honored. On the other hand, when MizFit suggested the topic of my guestblog, I was sorry and saddened. Let me explain: My topic is back [...]
