It’s a very challenging time right now. So much is changing, while we are also seeing that so much hasn’t changed. People are fighting for the right to get a deadly virus.

Maintaining Boundaries
I have been focusing maintaining my boundaries. I feel good about setting them, but I’ve noticed that it is very challenging to maintain them when I come in contact with people that ask for my help, directly or indirectly.

Patience is a virtue that I have struggled with. Yet it is a quality that I have committed to develop.
