High Points & High Hopes - Gifts from the Pandemic Year
12/29/20 • 57 min
It's the end of December in the year of the Pandemic and we are all so ready for it to be over! But, as we reflected on the last 12 months and planned for our final episode of our very first season, we discovered some gifts we unexpectedly received. We also found ourselves looking forward to the new year with hopes to build on some of the good things 2020 gave us.
Email us and share your unexpected gifts from 2020 and what you're hoping to see happen in 2021. It might just get shared in a future episode: [email protected]
