These are uncertain times and there is a lot of stress in the world. The media is hitting us with updates on COVID cases, stock market prices and Russia/Saudi Arabia oil news constantly. For me, it’s been a barrage. Tuesday through Thursday this week, it got to me. It stressed me out. I felt the panic from the media, I felt the panic when I went to the grocery store, I felt the stress from my girlfriend, who works at a senior’s home. [Read more…]

Should you be afraid?
I’m not saying you shouldn’t take reasonable precautions like hand-washing, not traveling to certain areas, however, panicking about the uncontrollable will take you away from things you can control (or at least, influence). [Read more…]

Right now, it’s too raw of a subject). [Read more…]
