How are you handling major changes in your schedules? Are you unexpectedly handling cancellations and postponements? Recently, I had the opportunity to experience a significant disappointment. Yes, I do see it as an opportunity. 

Our tool WAIIT (Where Am I In This) expedited my recovery from an unpleasant surprise. Here's a brief explanation of what I did and how I feel now. 

Thanks for the kind messages about staying safe as I travel across the USA over the next several months. I am taking healthy precautions for others and myself. In case it's of interest, here are a few things I'm doing. xoxoVv
