Listening to each chirp from the birds nearby As I awake at 6:00 a.m. Inhaling the sumptuous black tea, vanilla bean hot water and honey aroma present in my cup. Staring into the eyes of my soulmate’s face while we video chat. Breathing in the scent of a colorful array…

Continue reading →: Things To Do During Difficult TimeI love, live, work and exist in a place where the coronavirus was discovered and found, China. This time has been frightening, unsettling, freaky and just downright creepy at times. What can one do during a time when movement to various places is restricted and not recommended? I have a…
