Coronavirus Changes & Challenges

ideas to help you through the next stages of the Pandemic

I was planning to offer you a funny story about cooking chicken cutlets with the power out...about how my kids (with no Wifi) were suddenly surrounding me asking when dinner was going to be ready? 'How I managed to finish dipping, breading, frying, flipping the cutlets & stirring the pasta in the dark with the candelabra on my griddle.... It was a night of the "inmates running the asylum" and me, figuring out~"how did I get here?!"

"Why am I so exhausted with all these wonderful but loud personalities talking to me at the same time?" We are very close, but there's not an unspoken thought, not much of a filter~with compliments or criticisms. (although I wouldn't have it any other way...:))

This anecdote is truly a metaphor of all the changes & challenges surrounding us right now!!

But I know times are tougher that my own personal shit show~LOL

I know so many of us are struggling.

I know these days we are taking it day by day, wearing our masks, working from home & if we have kids...scambling to handle the at least part-time homeschooling coming our way. Alas ~ ZOOM is different in this generation!

I know that growing older isn't for the faint of heart.

I know that Cheerios are bad for you.

I know that squats are good for you.

I know that motion determines emotion.

I know that experience brings you calm & peace with certain things but more angst & worry with other things. "what could go wrong?!" ALOT!

I know that we are not alone. We are all in this together... 1000%. So call a friend. Connect with an old roommate. Send a thank you note.

I know that we need each other, through all of this.
