Crazy Times....

I am excited about the future of our planet. I know this sounds weird, because all the changes that this pandemic has brought have been challenging, to say the least! And there are people that have lost loved ones and businesses, that have to deal with loss and immense anxiety. There are families who have Covid survivors, that have to follow certain protocols in the hope that their health will return, which gives anxiety another meaning altogether. It is very different for everyone, but seriously raises stress levels beyond what some can take! I myself am part of the re-inventing group, as our business is tourist related and of course as the tourism doors and borders were closed, so did our doors close. Not a welcome experience at all, as we have been fighting for my hubby's life until literally just a few months before Covid struck. Nevertheless, we both have immense gratitude that the tide of his health turned when it did, since crossing borders on a weekly basis to get to doctors etc. would have been beyond what our stress levels would have endured.

Blessings in disguise ?

I am ABSOLUTELY convinced that although the lock down has totally spiraled out of control, and some people are riddled with fear due the uncertainty of it all, there are many huge blessings in disguise. Some families, being "forced" to lock down together have made new connections with each other, despite the initial challenge of spending hours and hours together totally out of the norm. Businessess have been "forced" to change direction, and become innovative beyond what they even though possible. Entrepreneurs are "forced" to re invent themselves as it were, and stretch their abilities to create something new, that will once again restore viable levels of economic activity and personal fulfillment.

The Challenges.

There are people that are jobless, homeless and feel worthless, and for that I am truly sorry, but hope that those who are not, can be of some service somewhere. I have seen more team work, camaraderie and empathy in communities than before, as if the energy of desperation brought with it a message of serving rather than being self-serving.

It's Time To Take Stock!

This is truly a time to take stock of one's life, see the shadow side that needs more light, own up to the overactive ego and be willing to ditch it and see the reflection of true caring and love in yourself by seeing it in others. It's brought the realization that at the end of the day, we all need someone to lean on and more importantly be willing for others to lean on us. All of this will eventually usher in a beautiful, warm loving, healing light!!
