“COVID 19” Even the word makes us anxious; it immediately produces fear, anxiety, sadness, loneliness and grief. We are living in a strange time, a kind of bubble we’ve created to protect ourselves against an invisible enemy. We wear masks; we limit our contact with friends and family. We don’t go to shows, galleries, concerts or clubs. We have learned to adapt to very difficult and strange circumstances. Check my website for more information and suggestions on some of the best ways to cope. Here are a few suggestions: yoga, meditation, walking, staying connected by phone or social networks, keep a gratitude journal. Seek Help!

You are currently trying to balance the search for your life’s purpose while also trying to not miss out on the fun that this time of your life can bring.
