This is not only going to be your first stress-free end-of-the-year celebration, it is going to surpass your wildest expectations about what a holiday season can be. You are about to embark on – in a word – your very first no-limit holiday.” - Dr. Wayne Dyer Be willing to do things differently. Take time to really think about what you enjoy and what drains you.
