In Times Like These... Caring for Ourselves and Those We Love
This is a very special episode that I think we all need.
Certainly, we are aware of what has been happening in the world, overwhelmed with media, social media, mixed feelings of hope, followed by dread, doom and fear, then replaced with excitement -- wild emotional swings.
And we expect that to continue and even heighten in the coming weeks.
What do we do in times like these?
Today, we give you specific things you can do to care for yourself and those you love.
