#KMGMagic – its #GoodNewsTuesday

Yall! What a time to be alive, in Shanghai, and living in the midst of a global-world-health epidemic!!!

I started this day, Tuesday, February 18, 2020 with speaking to American Government students at Thomas Jefferson University (Monday evening for these students) about my experience of being in Shanghai while the Coronavirus is happening. That was great and I was glad to share my experience with them.  -Many Thanks to my friend Timothy Welbeck for the opportunity to speak to his students about my experience.

A little while later while preparing to make video calls to my students more than one friend posted a message in a few different WeChat groups about an article that I wrote that was published. A friend of mine told me “Don’t read the comments” – so you know what I did, right? I read the comments!  I had to read them y’all. I’m good though. Folks can write what they want to write and respond/comment how they want to. I am more than okay. Always interesting to see someone’s perspective.

Here is a link to the article. I hope you enjoy the read: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/tq27pWmYqgK5ghHiiTbxMQ

Thanks for telling me the link wasn’t working. I have tried the link on my end, and a few other individuals tried it. I hope its working now for you. 

Many thanks to Stuart and TEFL Lemon (www.tefllemon.com) for allowing me to share on their platform. TEFL Lemon is a teaching site with loads of information for ESL teaching.

With all that being said, I am healthy, safe, and well. My days are spent inside my home unless I need to leave out to get groceries or any life necessities. I am able to leave my home and walk freely, but I choose to stay inside as much as possible.

I am doing my best to make the most of an unfortunate situation. Here’s to hoping life resumes back to normal soon!
