| Well Wishes To You, We are all together indeed experiencing a global wake up call. This is a time to take an honest inventory of how we live our lives, individually and collectively. I’m wishing each of you ease, faith and proper action during this time. There is much speculation about the times ahead, and it’s likely to get harder before it gets better – potentially for weeks to months. I’ll be spending as much time in the sun, listening to uplifting music, reading inspired books from the great ones, hiking the hills outside our home, catching up on my To-Do list and spending time with those already closest to me. I wish each of you similar avenues of self-care, loving kindness and support of those less able. Let us all send special consideration and prayers for comfort to those who are disconnected from loved ones, those who are homeless, those already infirmed and those who are feeling overwhelmed in the chaos to know the best path ahead for themselves and their families. It is a testament of character to those who stay calm, clear, peaceful and loving in times of stress. 10 Steps to Taking Care of Yourself and Others During the Coronavirus Get Educated: do your homework, get the facts and make decisions that feel right. a.
