Off The Grid Mentality

There's a major epidemic going on today. And that's the plugged-in epidemic.

That's right, we're addicted to being connected, even to the extreme that when we go on vacation, or try to get some R&R on the weekend - our favorite gadgets are still within an arms reach.

For Annapolitans and East Coasters as a whole, this is even more true. Living in proximity to DC means we are go-go-go from the moment that alarm clock goes off, until the end of the night, and sometimes into the wee hours of the morning.

I want all of you to make a pledge. Give yourself more YOU time where you whole-heartedly go 'off the grid'. I mean it. You can read more about what I'm talking about here on my blog (www.drtania.com).
