Monday News- April 6, 2020

Wow guys. How's everyone doing? This quarantine keeps raging on. Man, I miss people, stuff and places. I have been keeping myself busy by creating things and reading. I recently discovered cross stitch and am reading "Yoga For Witches" by Sarah Robinson. I have been trying to journal as much as possible but it has been difficult because there isn't really anything to write about. In addition, my kids have been keeping me pretty busy. Being their teacher has been strange. Overall, I feel very lucky because my family has it really good. My husband and I are still employed and making money, we are all healthy, the kids have been getting their school on, we have a stocked fridge and some toilet paper, and I have so many awesome things to keep me busy and mentally healthy. My thoughts and virtual hugs go out to anyone who is struggling during these strange times we are in.

In other news...I need to announce the winner of my International Day of Happiness giveaway. The big winner is Cassandra D. Congratulations! And a big thank you to everyone who participated. Your support is so appreciated.
