Here we are … January is well underway – almost done, in fact. How are your New Year’s Resolutions going? Statistics show that by now, most of us have already broken and/or abandoned our resolutions and will feel guilty for the next eleven months and start again in January 2013. Let’s make this a new journey, step by step, with no guilt by choosing "resolutions" that are realistic and fit in with our current lifestyles. There is no point making a promise to ourselves that we are going to exercise four times a week when we are working twelve hour days. That doesn’t work. But, a promise to walk more by parking the car at the other end of the parking lot works. Little steps building upon one another and before you know it, you will be reaching that goal of 10,000 steps per day!

February is traditionally the month of LOVE … and as my resolution was to be kind to myself this year, February is definitely the month of loving myself! Find something to do for yourself this month to make you feel good about yourself.

As February is the month of LOVE, consider your heart and remember to take care of it. And while you’re about it, consider taking care of your financial health too – after all, financial issues seem to cause us more stress than many other things! Jan Gupta from Investors Group will be with us to look at financial planning for woman and will be available to answer any questions you may have about mutual funds and TFSA’s. I know I’m looking forward to gaining a better understanding of how this all works
