I’ve been publishing Thriving Times long enough to know that December doesn’t need more advice, it needs permission to breathe. This month’s issue is about slowing down, dropping the holiday performance, and choosing what actually matters. You’ll also find contributions from Katie Nall, Ph.D. and Paula Dice, along with good news, upcoming events, and a laugh break, because longevity teaches you one thing fast: taking yourself too seriously is optional.

Yes, there are back issues. They’re available upon request.
