Shabbat Shalom, friends. Wrapping up week 8 of sheltering in place. How are you holding up? I am doing well, sheltering gives me a sense of safety, so now I am not sure how to come out of this. I do not believe that we should come out of sheltering, yet. Hang tight, friends. We can do this. In the scheme of things, this is nothing. It’s a blip. We can do this together!

Getting real: I am sad a lot. I feel a sense of emotional flatness. And hopelessness. I worry about my family, all the time. I do try my best to not go there. I am sharing because I don’t want you to feel alone in your suffering. We are all suffering. All of us. Reach out to your people and get the support that you need. We all need support.

I am sending lots of good thoughts and love to my student who had her baby early. Baby and mama are doing well, baby girl came early, so she’s tiny. Send good thoughts, y’all!

It’s time to relax and chill. Enjoy your Shabbat! Sending you all the love.
