    Ways to Navigate Life Now

    ByMary Crozier March 31, 2020March 31, 2020

    With every dark cloud, there is a silver lining. But in times of crisis you really need to look for it. Lately, I have found that when I pay attention to the small things I have missed in the past, I am in a state of rediscovery. Before I was always running to meetings or…

    Ways to Decompress

    ByMary Crozier November 19, 2019May 19, 2023

    We all have times in our lives where we feel like we have one stress after another. The weight of the world weighs heavily on our shoulders. Sometimes it is fleeting; other times you want to shout out to the universe enough already! Though it would be nice to have stress-free days, life just doesn’t…
