Yesterday, I wanted to write an article about the Value of Connections and the importance of staying in touch.  I wanted to share the good that came from twice moving an in-person networking breakfast to an online gathering.  How everyone was thrilled with the opportunity to say hello because everything else had cancelled. 

I then planned to talk about how this is the perfect time to plan for when things reopen and offer support for what one can do now. 

Each time I tried to write; the words would not come.  I had the worst time focusing on what had gone well.  There was LOTS that had gone well.

I slept well last night and the night before.  I noticed I felt calm when I woke up today.  I also felt calm Tuesday morning.  Yesterday, I did not. 

Although, I know what we think about we create, I spent most of the day yesterday coming from fear. 

Yesterday afternoon, while sitting in the car while my brother ran a quick errand, picking up his dry cleaning, I said to myself, “it’s a good thing I’m not going to run into anyone I know.”  I was dressed casually, no make-up or bling.  My hair was wind/rain blown. 

We then stopped at a local restaurant to get takeout for dinner.  Inside, was a cameraman shooting video on the impact COVID-19 has on local restaurants.  Next thing, he’s talking to us and we made the local news.  You can watch the clip here. 

I didn’t connect ALL the dots until much later that evening.  My day began listening to a wonderful talk on “PR Tips for Small Business & Soloprenuers” and finished with a few seconds being featured on the local news. 

In my inbox this morning was a newsletter from The Foundation for Living Medicine.  Dr. Gladys McGarey expressed her gratitude and love for all the support she received while recuperating from a bad fall.  Dr. Gladys spoke about the importance of coming from love. 

“Let me share with you what I have known… and it has certainly deepened through this experience.  Love is the great healer.”
