We are now weeks into isolation with no end date. Everyone is guessing and as the medical expert, Dr. Fauci, keeps telling us, the virus will tell us when it’s over.

Before Covid -19, we didn’t commonly refer to people as essential or non-essential. Some people seem to be surprised to find out just who we can’t function without.

I am not psychic and I can’t tell you what’s going to happen to you. I can feel everything that’s going on for you in the form of emotions or reactions, but I can’t tell you why.
