By Gail Supplee Tatum, Columnist, The Times
Happy New Year! Does the New Year excite you? Does it scare you? Do you ask yourself, “What is my mission going to be? What am I going to do, in the coming year, if anything, to improve my health, my relationships, my finances, my work, and/or any other aspect of my life?”

Reflections on 2017
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
The holiday season provides a great time to reflect on the past year. In my therapy practice, my clients begin every session recounting the highs and lows of their week. It is a simple way to take a few moments to appreciate what went well and any challenges that provide opportunities for growth. So, imagine the wealth of self-reflection that can be achieved...

Super Six: Holidays edition
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Ho Ho Ho! Ready for the Holiday Super Six? Anyone else in “Present Panic Mode” like I am?
While online shopping offers many conveniences, the sheer volume of options has me paralyzed, overwhelmed, and unable to get past “add to cart”. I have a tendency to second guess and I worry that what I see on my computer might not be as awesome in person....
Too many of us with stories to tell, sadly
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Oh, Matt Lauer.

To me, what is most upsetting about...

In fact, I think greens makes some of the best inspiration for seasonal pasta...
Gifts for the guys, all found locally
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The TImes
The countdown to the holiday season is here! Although, if you’ve shopped in any big box retailer, it’s been here for about 6 weeks already. The rush to promote Christmas is one of my biggest pet peeves. Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite and it seems to get more diminished every year. I swear, I saw Christmas ornaments next to the Halloween candy...
