    Quarantine Walks

    Journaling through Quarantine An idea on which direction to go with The Quarantine Project finally came to me. It didn’t happen while walking yesterday—as I had hoped—but the light bulb turned on this morning as I sat down to write this.  I didn’t take my camera walking with me because I was worried that it…

    The Quarantine Project

    Resurrecting Gratitude When the (unofficial) quarantine began, I was on a mission.

And then I stumbled on this image and thought that maybe I just need to change the way…
