WHAT’S KEEPING OUR TEAM POSITIVE AND ENTERTAINED

FINDING THE SILVER LININGS

Like many of you, over the last month, members of our team have stayed home to do their part to stop the spread of COVID-19. We were curious about what’s kept everyone entertained and upbeat, so we asked! Here’s what a couple of our team members had to say about their social distancing experience, the companions that help them stay positive, and one very special podcast.

What’s one quote, video, movie, book, or other piece of entertainment that’s helped you stay positive over the last month? My friend’s 5-year-old has started a podcast called “Keep Away Corona.” It’s a delight. What has been an unexpected silver lining of spending more time at home? My dog curls up by my feet while I work remotely.
