*Reposting* Now is the time to recharge if we can free ourselves from the undercurrent of stress and anxiety this pandemic causes on our psyche. In our modern world today, this turbo-charged rat race we call daily existence, our schedules are so busy we rarely come up for air.  Aside from the random vacation or […]

*Reposting with the hope that we will yearn and desire a renewed connection with community once we don’t need to socially isolate* I was walking out of a supermarket when a homeless man pushing a shopping cart caught my attention in the far corner of my eye.
