Tuesday, April 7, 2020

Friends, it’s the first Tuesday in April and I hope all is well. I have read where some are getting a little antsy about what’s going on. We all need to chill because no one knows how long this will go. It’s important to care for ourselves and one another (of course from a distance). We can do this if we cooperate as a global and local community. Mutual support is so important these days. Everything I have just said applies to me too. My friends, be strong, be courageous, be kind.

The Thing About: Patience

In this time of uncertainty, patience is a divine virtue. Have patience with yourself, with one another, with the circumstances we are in. Everyone is going through something and we all wish things were back to “normal”. It is my thought that we aren’t going back to “normal” but something else that will require us to have patience and a whole lot of grace for one another.

Who knows what things will look like on the other side. It will require patience and hopefully freedom from anxiety.

My friends, now is the time to be still, take care of self, have a little faith in something that will get you through. Remember to love one another and yourselves in this very difficult time.

Fake News

Fake news comes from people who don’t know what they are doing or talking about. Also, those who ignore expert advice and science. Just saying.

Hello Monday, What You Got?

It’s my third week of working from home and like a lot of people it’s becoming more familiar but still very different. We are all facing some challenges in this time of Coronavirus that has changed so much. My friends, we got this. Have a good Monday given the circumstances.
