It seems like the world is kind of a shitshow. Whether it’s politics, war, inflation, or any number of things, we are all very focused on the big, important things. My goal is to try and just relax and take a breath. I’m confident everything is going to be okay. In the meantime, focus on the things you do have control over and less on the ones you can’t change. Take care.

Be seeing you.
