Do you worry too much?

New posts landing on the blog are all about improving our mental health and self care. If you worry a lot or just want to take care of yourself more, check out the new posts from the past two weeks, scroll down! We're talking about gratitude, goal setting, books and all that good stuff.
In other news, if you read my post about goal setting, you'll learn that my husband and I plan to go on the road. We are currently renovating a small RV and will do the #vanlife thing for a bit. I'll be sharing all about it on the blog and my Youtube, so stay tuned.
