Today I’m going to keep it short- no pun intended (well maybe a little pun intended).
At this moment in time, we all know what is happening in the world. I continue to pray for everyone’s safety and for those suffering from/or know someone who is suffering from COVID-19 disease. With that said I want to ask who have you checked on today? Who are you reaching out to? With a lot of states (if not all at the time of publishing) practicing the “Stay At Home” policy, what are you waiting for? There’s not enough outside stimulation in the universe for any of us not to acknowledge our loved ones in this moment. So stop whatever you are doing right now and call/text/FaceTime/Zoom/WhatsApp or whatever way of communication you choose and check on your family and close friends.
Although a lot of us are working from home I hope each of you are doing something you want to do with your downtime. Whether it’s exercising, reading (non work-related), cooking, making music (rap, sing, write, compose, etc.), dance or being creative in whatever way you want, make sure you do something just for you every single day. This especially goes for all of you strong parents out there who are teaching your kids right now. There’s so many companies that are offering free online workout, yoga, dance and meditation classes; certified teachers are donating their time to give tutoring help; accountants offering money assistance, and colleges offering free courses. God-willing this pandemic will simmer (if everyone does as they should) soon and you don’t want to come out on the other side of it not having accomplished something that will benefit you later. Cabin fever isn’t realistic with all of these and many more options to occupy your time. So what are you going to do?
