Tell us a bit about your situation during this time period (employed / remote learning / caring for loved ones / sick / quarantined / etc.)
"Self-employed and work from home – client based and because of unstable cash flow clients did not contact, also, I believe, everyone is focused on the many levels of chaos and not on the kind of work I offer. I have been doing the work I do not charge for!"
What memory of this time do you think will stay with you?
"Humanity found or is finding its voice as toxins within themselves and the world come into view. There is no turning away from personal paths if one chooses to face themselves. Most importantly, for family who want to get to know and become close, this time is an opportunity."
Has this experience changed you? If so, how?
"Priorities have come into focus and acted on, a new dedication."
What has been the most challenging part of this experience?
"Exercising."
