In the past I have written about the positive aspects of working from home. However, at the time of those writings, we certainly weren’t dealing with a pandemic which mandated we do so. There were no quarantine or “stay-at-home” orders. What is different now, from then, you may be asking? One thi

It is so easy to feel we are living in a bubble, when outside forces are one reality, but your own reality is something a little different! This past week has been like that for me! I’m actually on day 5 of having not left my house. Last Thursday evening, my grandson, who I hadn’t seen in a few
