WELLNESS STAY SAFE
Be safe these holidays –

Many people think of self-defence as a jab in the eyes of
an attacker or a kick to the groin. But self-defence is
about much more than that. It’s about using your
smarts to avoid trouble before it begins.
And no, you’re not being a sissy if you scream like a
girl and run like Forrest Gump. Back flips, flying kicks and
nunchakus are for the movies. In the real world, being smart is
