In the annals of history, certain objects transcend their mundane purposes to become symbols of a particular era. The collector's Starbucks Tumbler from the pandemic of 2020 is one such artifact. This seemingly ordinary beverage container encapsulates a moment in time when the world was turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. A Time of Uncertainty and Change The year 2020 will forever be etched in our memories as a period of unprecedented global upheaval.

Update for the Month of April 2014

-
Last month I didn't accomplish that much with my writing I attempted to start a segment to a blog called what am I grateful for? And I tried to continue a blog entry called The Passage of Joe. I did complete an interview and was working on another one, but I have been busy outside of writing. I have been busy working my two jobs and working on getting my finances in better shape then before. This is what I will cover on the update for the month of April.

Mental health is important to us as a whole. I am someone who has suffered with and even have helped people with similar problems to mine. I understand both states of the illness. I am not going to go into the DSM 5 book of definitions or mention some ones that are common such as depression, schizophrenia, or bipolar which are labels, but the true battle we all face is with our perception of the world through imbalances. This may cause us problems because of the stigma many may feel the need to self medicate their problems. And even though I have not addressed it with Marijuana and Pot it was a technique that the ancient Natives of the land used to release the stresses on the mind. Just as if they were facing their demons head on at least they felt. It gave them better perspective. For whatever rea...
