Ways to Stay Connected, Now & Always

I’m pretty much a homebody. My home is comfortable, and I enjoy spending time there. I’ve developed my routine, and it will be difficult if (or when) I have to give that up for someone. However, this COVID-19/shelter in place thing is really kicking my butt. Even a homebody like me went to the gym. […]
