I thought that this post could be helpful for anyone who is dealing with grief or loss of any sort. Up until this point of my life, I hadn't dealt with losing someone so close to me....
Coronavirus: Shifting Our Perspective
First of all - sending so many good vibes your way as Coronavirus spread throughout the world and hoping you and your family are staying healthy during this difficult time!

Ultimate Self Care Guide
