I am also impacted by the layoff. And now #opentowork We all have been hearing of layoffs for a while. Every time I hear that from a company where a friend works, I call them and ask if they are ok.

I don’t know why, but it … Continue reading 13/365 On Shared Pains and Shared Struggles

Cooking, chores at home, Gym, Walking.. You name it I will be listening to something. This also means that I will be totally unaware of the sounds in my surroundings. I hear so much … Continue reading 12/365 And then I listen more
