Hard to believe that we are still in March given how different the world has become. Stores are closed, businesses are closed and trying to make ends meet, and we all wait in limbo as the pandemic plays out.

As we struggle to find a new normal in uncertain times, here are some resources that I have come across that may help you out on your journey of self-isolation. Embrace the challenge and try something new!

Stay home, stay safe. Sending love and support 🧡
