20 Selfcare Tips to Help You Beat the Blues This Winter Season
Winter blues. Bone-chilling cold and a wave of low energy. Some people experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression that occurs during the winter season.

However, I did not see this challenge coming or recognize it for what it was due to one of the most significant emotional challenges that occurred at the same time with the loss of my grandmother in October of 2017.
