How do you get over loss? When it's the loss of someone special in your life, I don't know that you do. This holiday season has been an emotional challenge for me.

As many of you know, my household has been on a pretty tight lockdown since March of 2021. We shifted from going grocery shopping and well, shopping in general, from in-person to either delivery or curbside pick up during the initial state mandated lockdown, and we have just stayed in that mode for more than … Continue reading Grocery Shopping IN PERSON!
