HEIDI'S POV:
Shall We Dance?
Two steps forward and one step backward. It’s like a dance, but not as graceful. And not fun. If I were naming this particular dance right now, it would be called The Frustration.
This is totally how I’m feeling about the recovery of live meetings and events at the moment. Frustrated: one hundred percent.
It was only a few months ago that I was raving about my new quarantine wardrobe purchases and all of the new shoes I’d be kicking up my heels in this fall at live trade events..

HEIDI'S POV:
Watch your inspiration bloom!
Can I just say?..... “I love succulents!” Hashtag obsessed! I know. So random, right? But follow me on this journey here for a minute. This thought expands.

FROM DAN'S DESK:
vacatio/vacationis: - the true meaning of holidays
Like most of you in July and August every year, I’ve been thinking quite a bit about vacations or, as other English speakers say, holidays. While my knowledge of classics extends only marginally beyond the name of the fraternity I belonged to in school (Delta Chi, in case you want to know!), out of curiosity, I decided to investigate the Latin origins of the word.
