This pandemic has affected everyone in different ways and although we are all facing the same storm, we are in very different boats. Some people have experienced grief, loss, isolation, and disconnection, while others have been able to reconnect with loved ones either in person or virtually, had time for new hobbies, and have a renewed sense of gratitude for what they have. My personal Covid-19 journey has been one with constant ups and downs, with moments of pure joy and those of despair.  This year has reminded me of how strong and resilient I can be in face of challenges. I wanted to take a moment to share some of the ways that I have navigated these stormy moments, when it seemed like my boat was about to capsize. 

This year has been incredibly stressful, overwhelming, and for some traumatic. The pandemic has increased feelings of fear, disconnection, and isolation.
