I’m sitting in my car about to mask up for a Co-op grocery run and it hit me, really hit me, the enormity of what we’ve all endured for almost 1 YEAR now.
It’s been an adventure navigating this completely new way of life. Maybe my biggest adventure to date...
This journey has forced isolation (sometimes welcome, often not), brought sadness and deep loss with my dear Mom’s passing from Covid in January, and made working an uncertainty with yoga studios closing, to name just a few of my own HARDships. I know you have experienced your own hardships-similar and unique.
AND THEN...this adventure has delivered beautiful silver linings...giving me so much TIME...
TIME to intimately know Phyllis and Jumpsalot in the sunset of their lives, to grow and reinvent work surprisingly finding another way to do it, to get quiet...really quiet and feel my way through this.
It’s not always pretty. I’ve struggled as I know others do. I have crappy days. And I have lovely days.
BUT this I know. I know it deep down inside. This pandemic is not permanent. Nothing is permanent.
This pandemic has forced us to get uncomfortable, to grow, to learn, to reinvent ourselves, to find new ways of doing things, to face truths, to appreciate more deeply and not take so much for granted...to WAKEN from a deep comfortable sleep.
Who could have predicted that this scenario would actually happen to the entire world?
And that’s the part I love about it...
Who could possibly predict what will happen next?
Whatever comes will bring hardships AND show us beautiful silver linings and we will LIVE our way through it...together 🤍
