I don't know about you, but I'm a little nervous about what life is going to be like when these stay-at-home days finally end. I'll admit up front that this post is a very First World, American post. I'm not 100% comfortable with that, but it's where I live and who I am, so today I'm going with it. As I said my last time here with you, I do feel like we're being given another chance; a chance to make some intentional course corrections; a chance to incorporate into our future the lessons we're (hopefully) learning while staying home during these days of COVID-19.

If you're worried, you're not alone; please take comfort in that. During this unexpected stay-at-home time, my Renaissance Man and I are ... Keep Reading...
