Last week at this very moment I was in Miami Beach celebrating my 50th in the Florida sunshine feeling very little care in the world, other than to make the most of that moment. I am so grateful I did!
I returned to NYC on Monday and watched a gradual slowdown of the city throughout the week, culminating in suddenly being laid off from my job on Friday. It was unexpected.
I am amazed at how optimistic I feel in light of what we are potentially facing over the coming weeks and months.
And as I sit from my vantage point in Midtown Manhattan this weekend--just returning from Whole Foods at Bryant Park where the shelves, produce and butcher counters were mostly wiped out of food--I am once again reminded how life can change on a dime and how we can choose to roll with it.
We can't choose what life brings us. But we can choose how to respond.
I am now blessed with ample time to look for work and re-imagine what this season of my life looks like. Spring brings with it sunshine, longer days, and the flowering of new things in our lives. It's a time when we can see clearly and address the challenges before us.
I am going to maintain a much more active online presence. Stay tuned for some personal stories and life lessons as we walk through a global pandemic physically separated, yet very virtually connected.
Indeed, we are all in this together.
