I read my nieces post on Facebook and enjoyed her introspective thoughts on the coronavirus world we are now living in. I share them here for all of us to ponder.
“I awoke this morning with a question in my mind….what is the message behind this Coronavirus?
Perhaps it reminds us that we really are all one and that each individuals actions, words and energy impact all...
Perhaps it reminds us that we live in the most amazingly blessed country in the world and that we should be grateful every minute of everyday and never take our free markets, free speech or any God granted freedoms for granted...
Perhaps it reminds us that we should always reach out to our friends, family members, co-workers to see “how they are doing & if they need anything” ….just because...
Perhaps it reminds us to tell everyone that they are loved because we never really know when they are going to leave us & take the next steps in their soul’s journey...
Perhaps it reminds us that evil truly does exist and that good will always prevail if we remember and are brave enough to stand up for what is good...
Perhaps it brings us the gift of being better-able to see someone else’s life experiences through their lens & honor it?
What I know for sure….we all will come out of this experience having learned lessons that better us as individuals and as a whole. For that, I am holding space for gratitude.”
