November is a great time to reflect on all that we’re thankful for, whether it be family, friends, those that we care for at work or those who care for us. Make time to show your thanks and appreciation…gratitude is contagious!

October is Emotional Wellness Month: a time to take stock of things that affect your overall physical, mental and spiritual well-being, to breathe deeply, and surround yourself with positive feelings. Compassion fatigue is common among those who work to care for others…so remember to take time to focus on your own emotional wellness!
