This past week I tested positive for the corona virus. Yeah, it was challenging, but after a few days of chills, fatigue and no appetite, I started to get better. It took me an entire week to regain my health, but in the time of recovery, I learned some lessons. And they become clear because of my practice. Today I continue talking about the multitude of lessons I learned.
