We started this adventure called COVID-19 on March 16th as an organization. Four short weeks later we have experienced a tsunami of changes. I like to think we are a very flexible and adaptable team but this has definitely put us to the test. One common theme that I have...
I was doing this ride yesterday on my peloton, and the instructor was talking about (this was recorded on Sunday morning) the concept of hope. Peloton is located in Manhattan and if you’ve seen anything on the news about New York, you know that it is the epicenter of the...
I have to admit this has been hard for me to decide what I wanted to focus on with my article. In this unprecedented time that we are all living in we each approach and deal with it in our own way. There is no right or wrong way and...

Shaila was home for spring break last week and it was so nice to have all my babies under one roof again for a short period of time. With all the precautions for COVID-19 she will be home a little longer as they move to on-line classes. I know all...
