I am having trouble with anxiety and I attribute some of it to social media, so I’m going to log off for a while and try to reset.

If anybody needs or wants to talk, my email address is on my website or you can DM me on the various Slacks we all hang out on.

Be well, folks 🌻

Okay, I'm back.

In some fashion.

I've read, I've pondered, I've experimented, and will continue to do all three.

I'm clear enough now on a great many things that were worrying me about our profession and its future that my anxiety is at a very manageable level.

I hope you're all doing amazing 🍃

@tonyarnold happy to hear, more voices like yours were missed!

I can relate that writing and discussing in the open like this is helpful to make sense of all the stuff going on.

@tonyarnold welcome back Tony! It's good to hear you have found some balance. We could use your voice as we navigate the tides. Keep writing and find solace in the fact that we are all in this boat together. We are all trying to weather the storm while trying to keep calm and carry on.
