We are smack, dab in the middle of the depths of winter here in New York City, where the cold temps and piles of slush can make even the best of us a little blue. I was very hopeful on Groundhog Day to receive a unanimous indication that things were taking a turn for the better, but it seems there was a a bit of a disagreement between the two weather forecasting rivals in our region. Let the record show, I stand firmly behind Staten Island Chuck because he is located much closer to where I live then Punxsutawney Phil (and not just because he voted my way).

Regardless of what the weather has in store for us this month we will likely be finding ourselves spending more time indoors and thus, more likely to feel under the weather or a bit glum. Make it a priority this month to care for yourself - mind, body and soul. Nourish yourself with healthy delicious foods in as many colors of the rainbow you can find locally and organically. Find a way to get moving that keeps you interested, motivated and fit. Calm the mind with meditation or your own preferred relaxation ritual.  Most importantly, feed your heart and soul with time spent in the loving company of a partner, family and friends.

Keep your fingers crossed that spring is on it's way!

Yours in health,
