I’m one of millions of Americans who have been suffering from stress, anxiety and worse this week. I tried to go on as usual last week with limited success,. So this week I’m taking it a step further. I’ll be off all week tending to my mental health, hoping to return next week feeling better and more prepared to take on the new challenges thrown in our collective path.

I found and am seeing a new therapist who I hope will help, and am giving myself room to grieve. Thank you for bearing with me while I try my hardest to emerge from this awful feeling.

I put together a group of shows from this past year that all are worthy of another listen. Today though, is Veterans Day. So we’ll start the week with a music show dedicated to all of those veterans who’ve fought to protect democracy, a fight that must and will continue.

Thank you for bearing with me!

Nicole
