There are moments in life when we need to slow down and listen. In the multitude of counselors there is safety. We have seen our world turned upside down with horrific tragedies all around us. During this somewhat forced sabbatical, some view it as a frightening experience. Others see it as a gift to finally be able to slow down and re-evaluate their priorities. Some take time to contemplate and take inventory of their personal lives. It is up to us if we willingly comply, or bolt after being indoors for a few days.

I encourage you to remember we are in power of our own lives. We can be in agreement with those in authority, or chose to go the opposite direction. Being wise at this time and following the protocol set before us may help ourselves, loved ones, and others. We all hope for a great outcome. When we have freedom to travel and work once again, let’s celebrate our liberty with a new appreciation.
