Once we hit Halloween, the end of the year holidays will come racing forth!
Even if we are not ready or feel ready...
I hear it over and over, year after year from people...
"I love this time of the year...But...I am so stressed out!"
"For once, I would like to enjoy the holidays. If only I could..."
I am no exception to this...
I do think that every year, I try to get a little better at it.
Less Stress...More Enjoyment!
