Have you have heard of the Coronavirus pandemic thing going around? Unless you are off totally off the grid, you most likely have heard about it. A lot of people I know are concerned and panicked. 

This is my first "check in" episode, where it is just you and me and no guest(s). Today, I share my thoughts on the current state of things with this pandemic and think about ways to calm ourselves.  

I wish you all much health and safety. If you are being impacted by the virus either physically, emotionally or directly through your family, your business or your work, I am thinking about you and sending positive vibes your way. 

Stay healthy my friends and we will endure this together.

Oh yeah don't forget to breathe in then out -- Repeat!
