The last time I posted was February of 2020. Little did I know a month later the world would be experiencing a pandemic and a year and a half later the uncertainty continues.
Determined to press forward no matter what, all I know is to maintain a scrappy spirit, embrace the lessons, and appreciate the gifts. Below is a bulleted list of what we’ve been up to since March 2020 through September 2021.
I’m looking forward to more stable times, the joy of in person collaborations and the freedom we used to enjoy.
