Below are four resolutions that concentrate on specific goals you need to address this year: yes, need. And besides, why would you want to be like everyone else? <... >

We know that this is the season for excuse upon excuse to keep us away from the gym and underneath our blankets in our warm comfy pajamas.

I work out at least four days a week. I lift weights, practice yoga and endure hours of cardio. I don’t eat foods that taste especially yummy.

When the wind blows gently and you’re standing on top of a rock in Harriman State Park, practicing yoga, you feel Nirvana is a stone’s throw away.

I had always thought of aromatherapy as something that beauty-conscious women enjoy just because of their pleasant smells.

I'm one of those people who think they can do anything.
