On this New Year’s Eve, we say good-bye to the old year, and welcome in the new one. Like many of us, you may be delighted to leave 2020 behind. While you step over the threshold into 2021, I thought it might be just the time to share some spirit-lifting items, friends and family have […]
Lately, I’ve found a common thread in several conversations about living with CoVid. Many folks are expressing amazement at how little they accomplish as time goes by—even though they spend far more time at home, instead of going to the movies, hanging out with friends, or even enjoying some spa time. Perhaps, like them, you […]
Here in the Northeast of the U.S., the sun is setting earlier and the leaves are changing color as the world around us revamps itself. The arrival of fall is upon us.

If you’ve been self isolating, and keeping a ‘social distance’ from others you may find challenges in adapting to this new normal. I certainly do.
