In my weekly Vibe Check, Mid-week Reset offering I spoke with actor and producer, Michael Oloyede and had an Amazing conversation about community and Gratitude. The conversation was great, insightful and encouraging, but it also became a practice of letting go and being patient because in the middle of the conversation, Zoom crashed on my computer. But I am grateful to technology and having a phone with the app where I could continue our dialogue and offer a short practice.
