You can have the toilet paper, I will be over here stocking up on coffee. (Seriously, I'm hoarding coffee, but fortunately it doesn't seem to be in short supply). It happened before there was a toilet paper shortage. I heard of the Tushy Classic in Wired magazine. Hmmm, I thought, is this the time to [...]
Sharing some thoughts on grief today. While we don't all know someone who is sick or who has died, at least not yet, from the coronavirus- we may be experiencing grief from the loss of everything we understood and our way of life only weeks ago.
