I wrote a blog at the beginning of October about learning to be thankful for each day in its own unique way. Since then, I also wrote a blog about how something to do with isolation. Permit me to bring the two together into something pragmatic we can all do during this “Thankfulness month.” […]

Thankful for the Day
It sounds like a social media fad for the month of November, doesn’t it? It’s actually a phrase coined/made well known at Kendra’s and my alma mater. I wish I could tell you more of his legacy, but I did not personally know him. He was one of the Residence Directors on campus. I met […]
