KEEPING IT REAL-THE NUMBERS

KEEPING IT REAL- THE NUMBERS

So we are closing out another week in the midst of COVID-19

During these trying times
 I am trying to make use of my time. I have decided to refocus on my blog. Wanting to be more consistent with my writing.  I have committed to a new blog post once a week.

Trying like so many of us from losing my mind. I have decided that I need to look at the time as a GIFT.

When am I ever going to have an extended paid vacation.  I KNOW THIS IS NOT A VACATION.

FOR SO MANY THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE.  MY HEART BREAKS AND I CRY TEARS FOR US ALL.

I am trying to find the SILVER LINING in all of this TRAGEDY.

I am filled with GRATITUDE that as of THIS MOMENT all of my friends, family and loved ones are SAFE.  I am very well aware this can all change at any TIME.

This morning I came across a post from Deepak Chopra:

The best use of imagination is CREATIVITY.
The worst use of imagination is ANXIETY.

VERY POWERFUL. I at this time am bouncing back and forth between the two.

What keeps me going and gives me life is TRAVELING  & MY PHOTOGRAPHY.

My traveling as you all know has come to a screeching halt. That is where my anxiety is kicking in.
My photography is also at this time very limited.
Both of these activities are what makes MY HEART BEAT.

I love to share my journey with you all. I look forward to being able to get out there and resume and adjust to whatever are NEW NORMAL is going to be.

In the mean time I will share my THOUGHTS & WORDS with you.

During these downtimes, I am working on a few creative projects which I hope to be able to share with you all at a later time.

In the midst of all of all of this. We are all given this TIME to work on SELF. There is an OPPORTUNITY for us all to come through this as BETTER HUMANS.

During this time we are seeing the EARTH REPAIR ITSELF.
By seeing this happen we also need to be aware of how we have damaged the EARTH.

We are also witnessing how much healthier the earth is without our participation. FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

I WISH YOU ALL TIME TO REFLECT AND REIMAGINE HOW WE WILL MOVE FORWARD AND SUPPORT AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND THIS AMAZING PLANET THAT WE SHARE.

In closing the LOSS that we are suffering is GUT WRENCHING. The numbers are going up by the hour.

In honor of the many lives that were, and will continue to be lost so we can remain and CONTINUE ON OUR JOURNEY WE NEED TO DO BETTER.

MUCH LOVE. LOOKING FORWARD TO HAPPIER TIMES.

The Numbers

THESE ARE NOT NUMBERS.
THESE ARE HUMAN LIVES  FAMILIES ARE SUFFERING/ LOVED ONES DEAD

These numbers are HUGH.

This is a time to THINK OF OTHERS.

OPEN YOUR HEARTS TO THE FACT OTHERS MAY BE HURTING AND SUFFERING MUCH MORE THAN YOU.

YOU ARE STILL ALIVE. ACCEPT & BE GRATEFUL FOR THAT GIFT.

Like flowers in springtime. This is a new beginning.
