We Made It. That’s a fact.

Two years ago today, the whole world shut down.

This was not easy. There were many really scary parts. It’s still often scary AF. 

But if you’re reading these words today, you made it to this point. That’s a fact. 

You did whatever you had to do to get here. And before I get back to building out my future, before I put on my cup-is-half-full, silver lining glasses, I want to take a moment to acknowledge all of us for what we’ve been through. 

If you have a moment today, I’d like to invite you to take three deep breaths and reflect on how much our world has changed in the past 24 months. And if you’re open to it, take a moment to acknowledge what it took us to get here. 

It’s hard for me to look back. I’d much rather focus on the future, especially when the past has so many soft spots and painful memories. But in this moment, it’s not about good or bad memories. It’s just an acceptance that all of our lives have been forever changed. All of us, no matter what our beliefs, have been impacted deeply. 

Even though we might be scared, we are also resilient and resourceful. 

And when we pay close attention, despite all the chaos and uncertainty, we will find places in our lives where we are stronger, more rooted and maybe even more free. 

We have survived some of the most uncertain times in human history. 

And we made it. That’s a fact.
