How to Experience A Pandemic Survival in 7 Creative Ways with Perceptual Thinking
“Life is in the transitions. We can’t ignore these central times of life; we can’t wish or will them away. We have to accept them, name them, mark them, share them, and eventually convert them into fuel for remaking our life stories.” William James
