Slowing Down
The past 16 months have unearthed underlying challenges and brought new ones. The kind of challenges that create both pain and growth. The kind of pain and growth that will continue to live as markers in my life; creating a before and after. I am comforted knowing that many, many others are experiencing their own pivotal moments and I am hope-filled as I speculate about the future and how the “after" will be different. We have common ground in our pain and the motivation to work together because to survive we must act with responsibility to the greater community and environment.
