Hello, how are you? Are you still in quarantine? Yes? Me too. I’ve decided to meditate every day for at least 10 minutes as another 30-Day Challenge because it’s a free activity that anyone can do inside in total isolation. In general, I’ve become a fidgety person who is always rushing from one thing to another. I take pride in my ability to critically think and problem-solve…
Teaching Myself to Like Myself
I’m amid a work-life balance high as I peck away at the terrible ergonomics of my laptop’s butterfly keyboard.
