How are you doing in this pandemic? Are you staying encouraged? Are you anxious? Are you frustrated? I personally have had many of these feelings through these crazy times. I’ve felt feelings of anxiety, confusion, anger, worry, but also grateful and optimistic.

Pause & Enjoy the Moments Along the Journey
The past month for me has been pretty crazy, loss of loved one, illness, new job, and working hard on other goals. It’s been crazy and at some points a blur.
