Writing a book at any time is always exciting; writing a book in the middle of a pandemic is an extreme adventure. Toward the beginning of this project, I became ill with Covid-19. Six months later, my Type 1 diabetic husband also caught the virus. Five onths later my oldest son got married. In between these major events, my daughter began her independent study at high school, there were a couple of job changes in the house, a cancelled vacation to New York, a strategic rebrand, an added 10 pounds, and a witch to a vegetarian diet. Oh, and one other small item: I let my SHRM SCP certification expire and had to retest—not because I didn’t have the credits, but because I simply did not register them. My first thought when I found out was “Am I an adult or not?” Anxiety, joy, lack of balance, a healthy dose of curiosity, and the original cast of “Hamilton: An American Musical” were the companions inside my head.
