Feel Fit February
January is all about resolutions, right? How many thousands make their weight (as in losing it) a goal for the year? I know I do. Every. Single. Year. And how many of us fall off the wagon by the end of February, at least a little? Again, likely thousands. That elusive “perfect” number on the…

Snapshots of Charleston
The first weekend of this month, I took a trip to one of my favorite places in the world: Charleston, South Carolina.
