Reflections on Last Day in the Year of the Pandemic

First, huge shout-outs are in order for our healthcare workers!

Our healthcare workers have been instrumental during the pandemic. This year has been like none before it for the healthcare community. Our providers are indeed heroes and deserve recognition, support, and encouragement.

We had a terrible surge after Thanksgiving and the experts are expecting one after Christmas as well.  The good news of course is that the vaccines are in the process of being administered and should make 2021 a lot brighter of a year. Unfortunately, that doesn’t help all the all the people we’ve lost from this virus. 

Our healthcare professionals have sacrificed their own personal safety to help others.  They were there for us. Please, thank a healthcare worker today. We appreciate you! 

Also, I’m quite excited to publicly announce that my first book got completed in this crazy year.  It was most certainly not easy. There were challenges at every stage. Creating this book was a really exciting process and it helped me find a good use for what would otherwise be “nervous energy” amidst all the pandemic news. Creating it helped me and I believe using it will help as well.  I am incredibly proud to have created something with the intent of helping others. 

One belief that I’ve had for years is that actions are better than words. I’m proud to offer 10% of all author royalties as a donation to those on a mission to improve the world, including CharityWater.org, where 100% of donations go to support clean drinking water projects in a world where far too many people live without clean drinking water.

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals” according to Zig Ziglar. I agree completely. 

It isn’t perfect, but I am ready to share it with you. I hope you find value in it.
