We all know how important it is to be aware of feelings and to take care of ourselves during these challenging and uncertain times. My favorite band, ODESZA, did a livestream of music yesterday on YouTube. Although this might seem minor, it was one of the better parts of my week so far. ODESZA hasn't put out new music in two years and have been taking some time off after touring for 2 1/2 years straight. The mix of music is amazing, but the most powerful part was a message at the beginning. The message is a voicemail from Harrison's mom. It really was unexpectedly powerful to me. I am including it and the music mix below. Enjoy! :) - - - - - - - - - - "Hi. I am thinking about you, and I want you to take time for yourself. Slow down and find moments that only belong to you. And may your spirit savor them. Be blessed with all that makes you happy and healthy today and every day." NO.SLEEP Mix.12

Just as I walked outside to direct the first 6 cars through the drop-off zone, I looked up and saw the sky on fire in the east. It was truly breathtaking. I held up traffic, quickly grabbed my phone and snapped this picture. As soon as it had appeared, all the colors faded and the sun came up. It was a gentle reminder that the day held so much promise. Despite the rain and well-managed chaos, there was beauty to be seen if I look for it. It's almost time to spring forward!
