Stretches to relieve tension in your shoulders and neck

​If you've been doing some heavy lifting recently (e.g. you carried your Christmas tree home) or if your shoulders are tight for any other reasons, I invite to to join me for seated shoulder & neck stretches using a yoga strap (or the belt from your bathrobe). You'll be amazed how much better your shoulders will feel in less than ten minutes:

I loved receiving the emails from so many of you where you shared with me the 3-5 things you're currently grateful for. As a community, many of us are grateful for "Good Health", both for ourselves and for others. "Supporting Friends", "Family", and "My Partner" were also frequently mentioned. More unexpected entries were "The Public Library", "Open Schools" (so the kids could attend in-person), and the Exercise Mirror 🏋🏻‍♀️.

Yes, despite the pandemic, we still have lots of things to be grateful for! I have put everyone's responses into a word cloud. The larger the font, the more frequently the subject was mentioned by us. Hopefully this gratitude word cloud can serve as a reminder when you're not feeling so grateful.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Do you have any festive plans?

Best,
