The intensity of the times has slowed me down, enabling me to feel the rage, horror, grief, despair, overwhelm, trauma deeply and more… I believe that I’m re-emerging stronger with more clarity and focus, thus now better able to communicate.
Therefore, I bring you greetings from a deep wellspring of love, compassion and resilience, knowing that like you, I’ll continue experiencing cycles of pain, joy, grief, frustration, uncertainty. It’s natural and normal, even though right now, a “new normal” is being birthed.
Three Perspectives for Your Consideration
A. Accept releasing and letting go, be it:
- Family members, friends or colleagues who have succumbed during this time,
- Beliefs and attitudes that are misguided and no longer serve or support you,
- Fear, anger, resentment, judgment, blame
- Personal possessions or stores that have been destroyed, no longer able to provide goods and services,
- What else?
B. Acknowledge the Paradox of Separation and Connection
For some people the sense of separation has been uprooted. Even with sheltering-in-place and physical distancing, millions around the world are protesting in large groups. Many people of all ages are connecting via ZOOM; families, colleagues, educators, activists, entertainers and more. As one dear friend said, “I’m becoming a ZOOMBIE!” She’s got plenty of sister and brother zoombies…
- How have you experienced multiple ZOOM gatherings per day?
C. Implement Radical Self-Care
In my book, Releasing Stress, Creating Serenity A BodyMindSpirit Self-Care Primer for Busy Women, you’ll find 5 key principles of self-care:
- Implementing daily BodyMindSpirit practices such as regular exercise, sound nutrition, and proper rest
- In what specific ways are your nurturing BodyMindSpirit?
- Cultivating positive beliefs, thoughts, attitudes, words and behaviors that create healthy, empowering results in your life
- What mindset shifts are you making?
- Maintaining healthy boundaries by learning when and how to say “No,” “No, thank you,” or No, not at this time” without guilt, shame or apology
- Who do you know who is saying, “NO”, no more, not on my watch!
- Taking “time-out” for pampering, play and quality time in nature
- In what specific ways are you using the imposed Sheltering-In-Place time-out for play, such as coloring, painting, or other creative pursuits, meditation or mindfulness practices?
- Celebrating wins, successes and achievements
Each night, I write a list of everything for which I’m grateful during the day. In this way, I prepare for a restful sleep.

Next Steps
The spirit of deep transformation is alive and growing; uprooting/dismantling systems, structures, institutions of white supremacy, racism, sexism, homophobia, as well as the scourge of capitalism that has maintained the wealth, power and privilege for a few, on the blood, sweat and tears of many who’ve been have-nots on multiple levels.
You and I are here for a time such as this! Therefore, letting go, connecting in new ways and radical self-care are essential to strengthen and sustain the unstoppable movement for justice, peace, and environmental sustainability. We are transiting through and with a paradigm shift!
- What is your vision for the future?
- In what ways are your contributing?
- What role(s) are you playing?
- In what specific ways or arenas are you sharing your soul-aligned gifts?
“While I acknowledge the conditions that concern or disturb me; regardless of appearances I accept that divine right order, action and outcome is occurring. I affirm a greater power operating for highest good in my life and the affairs of the world. Therefore, I lovingly let go and allow it to be the blessing yet to be revealed.” – Harriet Tubman Wright
