In March this year, the world was assaulted with the COVID19. Our family is sheltering in place, out in the country. It’s pretty sobering to think the entire world is taking a forced sabbatical from everyday life. It’s hard to believe that 700+ people are dying a day in NYC.

The only time so far we have ordered delivery of food was for Chinese food. The delivery person parked way out on the street and left the bag on the porch. There was no contact.

Believe it or not, these are the two fortune cookie quotes we got. So two questions to think about….

What do I want to learn?

I’m learning more about web sites- helping some friends with their small business web site development.. (www.spiritwings.org and www.erikarobinson-lenormand.com). I’ve also learned how to use Kajabi to make and market online learning. There are so many cool sites to learn new things out there!

What am I not putting off until tomorrow?

Connecting more with friends and family. I’m not a big phone talker, but it has been a nice change of pace and easier to do without so many other things pulling at my attention.
