A few weeks ago I felt a rapid onset of discomfort, chills, and illness. Long story short, this began a 16 day battle with COVID-19. As it swept through my house, we navigated the uncertainty and fear that has been fed through this pandemic. I will confess, it was an experience I don’t ever want…

I proudly display an autographed baseball in my office. While I am an avid Braves fan, this ball is not signed by any famous baseball player. In fact, it displays a shaky signature of my grandfather-in-law who passed away in 2013 at the age of 96. Having impacted my life tremendously I often glance at…
