    Ways to Navigate Life Now

    ByMary Crozier March 31, 2020March 31, 2020

    With every dark cloud, there is a silver lining. But in times of crisis you really need to look for it. Lately, I have found that when I pay attention to the small things I have missed in the past, I am in a state of rediscovery. Before I was always running to meetings or…

    A Few of my Favorite Things
