So many of us go into the Holidays with a dream, a goal, and a desired outcome but we don’t have a plan to achieve our goals. Read more to learn how to have a less stressful holiday season.

November is here and well, we have holidays, feasts, and general elections this month. That’s enough to make you want to take a nap! I’m excited about the prep. Let me give you some tips…
