A woman reads a book on a couch.

If you’ve been following along with the “Survive and Thrive: A New Theme for 2016!” series, you know that I’ve launched an aggressive campaign against overtired, over-stressed parenting. Hopefully by now, you’ve been able to focus more on your family by reconsidering your time commitments and making room for memories. This month, however, I want you to shift your focus from your family to yourself. That’s right. I want you take time out to read a book.
