Ever since the pandemic hit, we are talking about isolation and the difficulty in returning to the previous normal of human relationships. Another facet of the discussion is how technology is supposed to bring us together yet makes us feel more disconnected […]
New Year’s Eve has come and gone, and with its passing arrived January. All our social media news feeds have been filled with “New Year, New Me” posts, people’s New Year’s resolutions, 2024 action plans, planned milestones and goals for the past 11 days, and craze is only now slowly dying down. If you’re still looking […]
