Work-Life Balance is a Spectrum
Over the past two weeks I have been responding to a COVID-19 outbreak, affecting about 25% of the population of the community with even more in isolation, in one of the northern First Nations communities my work serves. It has been an insane amount of work and I’m exhausted and we aren’t done yet and…

Spring Wardrobe Wants
