Wherever you are in the world, your life has been affected in some way by the virus, whether because of shortage of supplies, school closures, or maybe even loss of work. Whatever the case, here are some ways you can escape the crazy.

Relax!

Yep, take a deep breath, let it out, and relax. Despite the changes in regulations, you’ve got this! If you need reminders on how to destress or how to help your kids relax, you can check out a blog post I did several years ago. I’ve been using a lot of Stress Away, Peace & Calming, and Frankincense recently. That’s one way I calm down. I’ve also used my Dragon Courage blend.

Join a Facebook Party to learn about new or free books

There are several events happening this week on facebook. The first was planned several months ago for the release of a new book. I’ll be on there on Friday giving away prizes and lightening the mood of all the panic and frenzy on social media. You can join us.

Another event was started by author H. L. Burke. She gathered as many authors as she could who have free books this week due to our new normal. You can scroll through and find a ton of free books–some by the authors listed below, but new ones as well. Come check it out.

Read a good book

Right now there are a ton of good books that are discounted–either free or 99 cents. I sent out most of these in a special newsletter earlier this week, but it’s worth repeating. All of these are wonderful books, and many of them are on sale right now to help parents deal with the new normal.
