Hi everyone. In a flurry of activity this week, fielding emergency requests from clients, I let writing this blog get away from me a bit, but here it is, a few hours later than planned. This week has been a lot. This month has been a lot. And even in the best case scenario, it’s time to hunker down for a while and accept that things won’t be “normal” for quite a while.

Humbling, isn’t it? We live our lives feeling like we’re mostly in control of them, mostly, and then something like this comes along and we are questioning it all. Ross and I have our own anxieties, but we are truly sheltered from the worst, and even from most, of what others have been feeling this week. We lost a little income (my upcoming Broadway sing-along has been canceled) and we will likely lose more before this is over. But our income streams are diverse and mainly remote, which means that as long as we stay healthy enough, with strong enough internet, we can likely keep working and earning a living.

I’m doing a lot of praying and focusing a lot on gratitude. Gratitude to have enough food and supplies in our RV (my always be prepared tendencies meant we haven’t had to panic this week – such a blessing). Gratitude to have plenty of entertainment on hand, from books to instruments, and plenty of work to keep us busy and earning income. Gratitude to friends and family making the safest choices for them. Gratitude for the ability to stay connected with all of you in the face of uncertainty.

If you’re able, I hope you’ll keep taking walks outside. If you’re able, I hope you’ll make phone calls and send emails, just because. Appreciate each other, remotely or otherwise. Take it easy. And know that you are loved and appreciated, and we’re glad you’re here.

Take care, friends. If we can help you in some way, let us know. And stay strong. It will be worth it.
