Need a GREAT Idea for a Valentine’s Day Gift??
It feels like we're just zipping right through January, and February is right around the corner! In the last newsletter I sent out, I mentioned some talk about those pesky New Year's resolutions and goals and making some very doable ones that can actually be accomplished.

It’s Time for 2020!

Health Update
Information about health, exercise, and nutrition can be found everywhere these days. Quick access to information is both a really cool thing and it can also be overwhelming at times. Have knee pain? Well, you can read about a million websites talking about knee pain – what causes it, how to make it better, who to see, what exercises to do, what vitamin will help, when to get surgery, etc – and leave with about a million different things and no real answers or the complete wrong answer.
So, I’m going to throw out a short list of some really good reading. The following are books that I’ve read (a couple are ones that have come highly recommended) and have found some really valuable information while reading them.
