Well, today marks the one year anniversary of the day I started this blog. The time has really flown (they say it does when you have fun); it seems like just the other day I sat down to write my very first post. I want to thank everyone who has taken time to read my advice, opinions, and random thoughts. I never have to worry about writers’ block because it’s easy to figure out what to say to your friends!

I hope you all stick around for the next year on the Better Health Blog. Who knows what kinds of interesting things I’ll end up posting (I don’t, at least not yet!)? And remember, if you have any questions, comments, or ideas for a blog post, be sure to email me at [email protected] – or just stop in the office. We always love to see you!

To commemorate this first anniversary, I thought I’d revisit some favorite blog posts. Some are my favorites, and some are yours. If you missed them the first time around, now’s your chance to get caught up!
