May you find peace amid the chaos that’s daily churning up your insides, as you wake up afraid, not knowing what disturbing news you’ll encounter on TV or online once you rub the sleep from your eyes.

May you find freedom, even when you’re cocooned inside of the house in order to keep yourself healthy, attempting to save the lives of strangers and loved ones alike.

May you find hidden resources of love for your family, friends, and other people, realizing with great empathy and awareness that we are all in this together.

May you find the ability to be kind to yourself, no matter how you’re feeling right now, and show the same kindness to others, especially if they’re in need of it desperately.

May you find a way to let go of being in control and come to understand that although the future isn’t meant to be known, we’ll continue to hold tightly onto hope and we’re strong enough to rebuild.

During these current times of extreme uneasiness, I wish you all well.
