As I settle into Life 3.0, I am anything but settled which for me is a good thing. I get the privilege to teach and work from home, and in such a way a bird’s eye view of the shift in our world. Spring is my favorite—watching the remnants of our garden come to life and plan for its rebirth, and my own. This pandemic is changing us all.
I am in my happy place in the dining room with the sun streaming in and birds chirping. It is a bubble that I know is surreal. My bubble is busy, re-imaging classes, re-imaging ways to connect with our students, re-imaging how to love my neighbors as ourselves, and re-imaging community healthcare messages we hear over and over: mind the gap.
It is a bubble that is also heartbreaking to watch the devastation of the tornadoes in our city, the hardship for our family in New York and Italy, and the devastation of Coronavirus and its impact. And yet it is a time to reflect and grow and pause, and pray. And to celebrate the beauty of others, like my mother-in-law, Margaret, who celebrated her 93rd birthday by baking a beautiful cake, complete with a candle, because life is to be celebrated, even if your family is gathered on screens, near and far, singing and laughing.
As for health and home… a couple more falls—not so good, but still slowly progressing, and more progress at home, so very good! Check out the plans and pictures! So close to being done, just waiting patiently, along with all of you.
I am grateful to be creative, and not bored, I am grateful to be protected and healthy, as far the virus, and I am grateful to be safe. As I watch my neighbors and friends, and clients on the frontlines, I am grateful for their dedication. I also know after almost 15 years focused on healthcare marketing and community outreach and design, we are more than our physical health, we are well-beings, and being well is many dimensions.
At work, we are conducting research on that exact thing. I am fascinated with what we are seeing, we are seeing your story take life, not death…. and how this time is shaping you. Interest? Then, please jump in take the survey below.
Love, Victoria
