We are about to hit the beginning of the work week. The unemployment rate is below 4%. There are a lot of job openings at different levels in different sectors. Organizations are looking to hire. However, we all went through a pandemic where we were forced, in some […]
A sad song had been helpful. A walk had been of great use. A silly television show such as Big Bang Theory helped her laugh. Now she was going to go to a game where she could scream, boo, cheer on and just let it out. Or so […]
It was not something I had thought about. It’s not something I had ever envisioned doing. It’s not something I had looked forward to. But I did it. The day came and not only got through it, but it also went well. I’m talking about the memorial service […]
