I am an extremely busy person. My daily life even during a pandemic, when, by wise choice, I am sticking pretty close to home, is filled with activity, albeit much of it in front of a computer screen. I see therapy clients via telehealth. I create articles for various sites and publications. I do PR and marketing work. I offer editing and writing consulting services.
