Hello everyone! I have missed you all so much over the last 6 weeks.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Like all of us, our family and dear friends have been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have lost people we love, still have sick friends, are scared for the families of our loved ones that are sick, have had massive business loss, increased workloads due to reschedulings/cancellations with 0 staff to help, and 0 childcare options. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am so grateful the country is beginning to open back up, and hope this gave businesses time to adapt to this new threat.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am so grateful for the support system of friends, family, and peers, that helped get me through the last 6 weeks in spite of all that's going on.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So grateful to my job's flexibility so my family could remain home successfully this whole time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm grateful to all my clients who have stuck with me during this workload boom where we can only get any job done about 80% due to some COVID related limitation or another.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am super excited that I've had more time with my kids and husband, and time enough to help friends who have had critical issues arise.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am very sorry for my poor upkeep in communication with a lot of you throughout everything! I knew I didn't have the time commitment to devote to social media, and have just tried to manage the new solo workload. All the work and beauty you've all been posting and sharing throughout has been wonderful to see today!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is something I drew up one night from a thought I couldn't shake. So much of what we do affects those around us, we act, and others feel the effects on multiple levels. We've felt our country divided and connected in so many ways throughout this pandemic - with our jobs, income security, businesses, health risks, beliefs, resources, safety, and happiness. And it's too early to know who's way is the right way. All we can do is try to be selfless and kind, and do what we can. This has affected everyone.
