"Quarantunes"
Most things are closed right now. But you know what's not closed? MUSIC! Whether you're making your own, driving with the radio on full blast, jamming with your vintage 1990's boombox, zoning out with headphones on, or having Alexa play your favorite songs on demand- MUSIC IS OPEN! Open and essential. It keeps me sane, hopeful, and can change my mood for the better in an instant!

Nostalgic Songs For Twenty-Somethings Stuck At Their Parents’ House
In scary times like these, we naturally want to be near our loved ones. A lot of us twenty-somethings, out of fear for ourselves, situations, or family members, flocked to our childhood homes to stay (safely) close to them. Some of us are also college students, in which case there wasn’t much of a decision to be made on whether or not we’d be coming home.

A Hit of Optimism: Quarantine Playlists
As a yoga + meditation teacher, I've been taught "mind over matter" for as long as I can remember. While toxic positivity is definitely a thing we need to watch out for, I still believe that you'll attract more of what you put out in to the world. And right now, what I think we need is a bit more optimism.

It's A Vibe
We are currently living in uncertain times. We've lost count on how many days it has been since this stay at home order.

One thing that has gotten us through many days is the music. I have curated a playlist to get you through all of your quarantine needs.

The Open Field
Before quarantine, I lived in the northern part of Israel. I was dancing, eating, existing on a beautiful commune in a remote town not far from the Israel-Lebanon border; it was a dream. I would call my brother sometimes and he would joke about how I joined a cult because the days were filled with dancing in a grandiose studio with floor to ceiling windows that overlooked this big, open field. The field was lush with poppies and other wildflowers, the sun constantly kissing that field with its warmth. After dance, I would go to the cafe for an iced coffee before sprawling out in the field, bathing in the heat of the sun and almost suffocating in the plush barrage of flowers. Sometimes I would bring my notepad and write, sometimes I would draw, many times I would sit in the field with my fellow commune members and we would make flower crowns to be given to whomever had a birthday coming up. No matter the activity, I found joy and pure bliss in living in the commune. Sometimes I would walk over to the house of one of teachers and we would sit and talk on his porch, greeting passersby and picking through miscellaneous mysterious fruit-flavored candies until we had certifiably tried every flavor. Living in Israel allowed me to find true happiness, even amidst difficult times and exhaustion from dancing up to seven hours a day.

Quarantine Playlist
When I first heard of the Coronavirus, I felt that life as we knew it would change... drastically. Boy, I wasn’t prepared for how much. I’ve never homeschooled my kids; one is now in college and the other in fourth grade, but when the bigger cities started closing schools,I knew it was only a matter of time before it got to us. Being from a smaller community, there were a lot of people who didn’t think that our schools would shut down but the four- year university that I live near was the first to close and begin online classes. Not too many weeks later, the school district decided to as well, which for preschool through high school meant a longer spring break and the younger kids were ecstatic. That was, until they found out they weren’t going back to school at all this year. Hence, homeschooling commenced. To say it’s been a challenge for both myself and my fourth grader is an understatement...subjects aren’t taught like they were even when my son was that age, not to mention when I was her age. I am grateful to her teacher and principal for making it a little easier on those of us who weren’t built to teach. Luckily, she and I both enjoy reading, so we save that for the end of the day. Her way of coping is being able to have “virtual play dates,” playing Minecraft or Wildcraft together or just messaging GIFs and funny images or memes back and forth to her friends. This gives me a little while to work on stories that I’m writing and listen to my music or just relax.
