Self-Education is a real thing. It's a way to learn from people that have "been there, done that" and can provide their own knowledge and insight that a book may not be able to. Why do you think YouTube tutorials are so popular? Or digital courses created by people just like us? It's a way to cut to the chase and get the information we need.

Folks, it’s a sinus infection and acute bronchitis. Exactly what I expected, so please stop giving me looks. COVID-19 isn’t the only illness people are battling. And while I’d love to be hiding at home, I have to get my meds and report to work still.

Let’s be mindful of what we hear, share the facts, and follow guidelines.

Finding creative expressions in unexpected places inspires my soul.

Vacation.
One of my favorite parts of life. Though I don’t look at them as something I may or may not get to do. To me? They are not an option. They are a necessity.
