Lost connections: The Real Cause of Depression
It’s generally accepted wisdom that people are more anxious and unhappy today than in the past, and that this is a result of the busy, stressed modern world we all live in.

Grinding the coffee beans
Lots of local vendors are sadly closing shop as the direct consequence of loss of business linked to the Corona Virus pandemic. We feel however, that there are more and more coffee shops newly opened in town. If you're a coffee lover but practicing social distancing and limiting your outings, you need not venture out!!
