A collection of essays written to inspire wonderings, hope, and connection while living through a pandemic. Drawing on exercises of gratitude, simple noticing, and intentional reflection, these brief pieces remind readers, “We see what we focus on.” Our perspective can shift when we notice the beautiful.
“Pandemic life is scary and hard. The unknown licks our fingers and faces leaving a chill in our bones. Give yourself the beautiful permission to feel all of this. To weep in the kitchen. To send the texts, and express your love, and ask for what you need. At the end of the day, I only want to influence real. Real is beautiful.”
