By Carrie / May 21, 2020 /

Hi friends! Lately I’ve been asking this simple, yet heartfelt question to lots of people: “What has Covid19 been teaching you?” In other words, what are you learning about your life, how you’ve spent it so far, and how you want to continue to live?

Self Care, Soul Care

By Carrie / February 20, 2020 /
