I'm proud to be part of the #bluewavegroup!
Whew. What a week! And I do mean that for everyone, everywhere. Times are rough for a lot of us right now. Some of us are scared. Some of us are angry. Some of us are numb. Some, like me, may be floating between all three (and probably more). It's exhausting, isn't it?
What's the antidote?
Joy.
