COVID Reset Button

It’s hard to think about anything good coming out of this pandemic. If there is one thing, I hope it helps the world to hit the reset button on compassion and love for each other. The last four years have had so much negativity, lying, disrespect.

Times like these help us to see more clearly about what in life is truly important and what are just distractions to avoid the truth.

In the last month, I’ve seen so many people seizing any opportunity to help each other. It gives me hope in humanity. There is a hunger and thirst for positive human connection! Yes, it is harder with social distancing, but still possible.

Call your people. Don’t forget the single folks out there, too. Even a 1 minute contact with each other helps to not feel alone and afraid.
