A Note from Marie on Gratitude
We can’t feel grateful for things we don’t notice, so mindfulness and gratitude go hand-in-hand.

The typical chiropractic clinic will be putting out articles this month about how to wear a backpack to avoid spine and posture problems.

Our world has made it normal for a child to stare at an iPad for 8 hours starting at the age of 6. It is normal to watch teenagers slug down Starbucks every day after school. It is even normal to discourage a child from thinking on their own and to support a herd mentality. […]
