Finding Beauty and Inspiration in Devastation

There is no denying where we are right now. The shit has hit the fan. Or, you more evolved types might say “the shift has hit the fan.” In this moment in time, where no one knows when the pandemic will end, and how and when the economy will recover, I am navigating my rollercoaster […]

I hope you are safe and staying healthy as we all deal with this life changing time we are in. Brian and I are isolating ourselves at home, we’ve stocked up on lots of Amy’s canned organic soup (which I hope tastes good as I’ve never eaten it before), and we are checking in with […]
