I've been adjusting myself to life in self isolation with (5) kids and no childcare. 😱 My husband and I are throwing the kids back and forth through out each day.
For some stupid reason I also thought it would be a good time to switch my mailing list over to Substack, then I accidentally emailed people last week's email again, whoops and sorry about that!
This week I'm looking forward to a live Ted Connects broadcast with Priya Parker - How to create meaningful connections while apart. I’m hoping there will be a recording of it as I’m not sure I can make it live.
Also Priya’s book - The Art of Gathering - is well worth a read!
