Phase I - Reopening the Country
|
It's been a long 2 months of online meetings and virtual everything. Well, t
his week we are seeing a few states start to re-open certain businesses and some of us are returning to our place of work. Assimilating into the physical workplace is going to be an adjustment.
Check out this
Training for Real Life video from the
Holderness Family Vlog
to help you better understand how to do it smoothly.

To add to the excitement, the team at Star Wars also released their official May the Fourth video that contains a powerful message of hope. Enjoy!

|
This week we saw a ton of memes for the ever fun date of May 4th. The "May the 4th be with you" jokes aren't new but this year they had a much larger meaning as many states re-opened businesses on May 4th.

Dr. Seuss has been a staple in the best stories to read department for decades. We could not, however, have guessed that his literal genius could be so artfully matched with a beat boxing rap tune. Prepare yourself. After watching these videos, these stories will never ever be the same for you again. Consider yourself warned.

Little Kids, Big Kids. We could all learn this technique.

Sesame Street recently released a video teaching kids belly breathing and calming techniques. We are not sure about you, but this is something we think can be helpful for more than just the kiddos.

Glowing Dolphins - What???
|
Now this is a sight to see. Oh how we wish we could have been on that boat to see it live! The bioluminescence off Newport Beach, California was in full effect when Captain Ryan of Newport Coastal Adventures went out on a boat with a friend, Patrick Coyne, to look for dolphins. Coyne filmed an amazing interaction with a pod of dolphins lit up in blue.
