Are you doing this time or is the time doing you? With so much idle time on our hands has it afforded you the opportunity to get clarity that you’ve needed? Have you caught up on much needed rest? Did you begin to write that book? What about brainstorming that business plan? Or have you been experiencing anxiety? Are you done with sitting still and ready to emerge into the world again? As I sit still in a moment of quietness one of my close friends came to mind. She’s expecting and has experienced a journey prior to this Blessing that has been bestowed upon her and her husband. I began to feel so “Full”; not from eating but from the emotions that began to resonate in my spirit. Situations as such brings a sense of peace in all of the chaos that is currently taking place. What we’re experiencing right now is unfortunate and it can be easy to focus on all that’s going “wrong.” People are passing away, Hospitals not having enough equipment nor proper gear to care for patients, people are ...
