We have met our goal but we aren&#8217;t&nbsp; sure how far it will carry us while&nbsp; we deal with crises at work and home.

It will just likely be rarer. I hate that, but I only have so much of me, and I&#8217;ve already been struggling with physical and mental health, so I have to be careful.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">If there are things you think are super important that you want me to know about, feel free to tag me into them or email contactbriecs@gmail.com with anything like that.
