There is A LOT of talk these days about how to get through isolation. Self-care has been in the lexicon for a while, but its use has been skyrocketing. People are looking for all sorts of ways to get through this with mental health and relationships intact. Social media and publications abound with all kinds …
For the last several weeks, since we arrived in La Cruz, Mexico, we have been all about getting ready. Getting ready for what you ask? In essence, we are preparing for self-reliance. But, there is also a community element to our preparations and passage making. Tell me about this community. So, one doesn’t just …
