Anxiety or Award
As I was looking at my ‘Awards’ on my Apple watch – I remember when all of these little reminders to stand was a point of anxiety for me – not award. I needed to get all the marks for standing every hour. When I would go on a drive…

More Insight into a New Way of Being
I don’t write long posts. I wrote about a New Way of Being. As I write this – we are still in that “quarantine and starting to re-open” phase. I keep the posts short and just work out the info – but I don’t spend much time explaining. My hope…
