Happy New Year! Did you spend yesterday setting SMART specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound goals?
For example:
“I will lose ten pounds in 2 months.”
“I will give up sugar for 30 days.”
“I will save $100 a week for 8 weeks.”

Transform Old Patterns, Transform Your Life
We are right around the corner from the equinox. Alaska is in full fall mode: golden leaves, vibrant blue skies, jeweled berries, and whimsical red mushrooms. I am so in love with the glorious energy of this season!
This was not always the case. Fall used to mean the beginning of an epic battle with three months worth of holiday temptations: Halloween candy, Thanksgiving pies and Christmas cookies
