Hey Heena. Thanks for yet another new word. It sounds so much like ‘demonstrate’ that one would think that its meaning would be different.
Hope you’re well.

No problem at all Heena. Life seems to have a way of getting busy, doesn’t it? I haven’t been as active as I have in the past either.
Things are great on my end. Hope all is well with you too dear.
