We saw the award-winning musical "Fun Home." I'll be honest, I had not heard anything about this musical. The story is based on Alison Bechdel's groundbreaking and heartfelt graphic novel and is lovingly adapted to the stage. Alison's story is moving, funny, and at times heartbreaking.

What we don't love is that heavy feeling you get after eating corn and flour tortillas.Now we eat tacos with Jicama Taco wraps. The best part is, you can now buy them at your local Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, or specialty grocery store. They are much sturdier than lettuce. They actually hold the taco fillings without breaking and falling apart.

It's hard to believe how quickly our world has changed in just a few short days. For the company I work for (In-Shape Health Clubs), we went from planning new initiatives and programs to closing all our clubs and sending team members home to work remotely due to the government mandate and stay-at-home order in California.

You'll get delicious bacon and the house still smells clean and fresh. And you might make some new friends in the neighborhood!

So why is it that so many of us fail? Because we're changing for the wrong reasons.
