Wow, it's barely still November- time really does seem to quicken during the holidays. Time has certainly been flying here.  The press has been wonderfully interactive this past month, for which I am truly grateful because it gives me the chance to hopefully share information that will help make people's lives more positive (plus, ok I admit it I'm a little vain and it's fun to do press!).  

See below for articles and videos with tips on how to manage stress, stay focused, and  strengthen relationships (with yourself as well as others!).  Also, please feel free to reply to this newsletter and let me know what's on your mind.  This newsletter now has nearly five thousand subscribers, with about one thousand opens every issue.  I'd like to know more about who you are and what interests you.  I'll be sending a survey soon to ask more specific questions if you care to share, but in the meantime please know that I always enjoy hearing back-- so feel free to hit reply and say hello, if you want!

Stay warm, stay well, and I hope you enjoy below! 

Yours, 

Dr. Chloe
