From elementary school students and college grads to teachers and all the supporters who worked to get them through it, they absolutely deserve to celebrate their accomplishments. It has been a year of so many ups and downs that no one person experienced the same way and that should be recognized. That should be celebrated. And so should we.

To Keep or Not To Keep– Pandemic Comfort Habits
Some of us adjusted to the pandemic with new workout routines, more tv time, or new even pets.

My question is, what about your new routine is something that you wish to keep?
Slowing Down and Settling In
There’s still a possibility to find comfort in so much that is unknown around us because we know that most people are probably in a similar spot too.

Two Movements, One Choice
Our actions within each movement speak louder than any of us ever could when it comes to what we really believe life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness means. Over time, what we do will determine where this reality takes us; optimistically, I am hoping for the best. But I also know that it is up to every one of us to do the work, educate ourselves, protect both ourselves and the people we love, and to pay attention to what’s happening in the world before it’s too late.
