Well we made it through the first week of social distancing, sheltering in place and trying to flatten that darn curve.  How’d you fare?

My gosh, what a difference a week can make.   Our casual conversations about the Coronavirus last week seem like a lifetime ago. So much has changed.

As a former healthcare worker, my thoughts are with those on the front lines and those who do not have the privilege to work from home.  While blogging and sharing pretty images feels frivolous, with so many of us doing our best to stay home and self isolate, the idea of our homes being safe, happy and inspiring is more important than ever.  So I’ll continue to blog and share posts the inspire hope and offer a little distraction during these challenges times, like today’s Tuesday 10.

Stay safe, stay smart friends.
