who cares, Lori?!
Last week, when the Governor of Minnesota put more restrictions on the restaurant industry that I work in… well, let me just say I’m prone to look at unwanted situations and try to figure out the opportunity in them or what I was supposed to learn from them. It may take a minute to regroup, adjust and see it, but I usually get there. A bit pollyanna, sure.
