You are listening to a Clark's World Magazine podcast with your host and narrator Kate Baker.

Oh my God. We made it. We made it to May. Hallelujah.

I felt like April would never end and I was still doing podcasts within May for

April so yay we're in May and you are getting this one a lot late.

I apologize.

I hope to get back on track.

Once everything sort of calms down a bit.

Most with the CIFWA online nebula conference. I hope you're doing well. I hope that you are still

continuing to weather this storm, this pandemic, this crisis that we've never

faced before. I know the anxiety's got to be building.

I think for me, it's been both anxiety and a little bit of depression, trying to remain focused on things, especially as the world falls apart around you,

realizing you have no control over it whatsoever.

The thing you do have control over it whatsoever. The thing you do have control over is relaxing, taking

care of yourself, taking those nice deep breaths, sticking on a podcast and listening to a story.

I want to thank you for your support, your patience, your understanding. Our first story for the Your Understanding.

Our first story for the month of May, 2020,

issue 164 is titled, What Happens in Salarium Square 21?

And is by Ashley Shears.
