When the world feels like it's been turned upside down, it's human nature to cling to anything that provides a sense of stability and safety until the storm has passed. But it’s time to accept the reality that we still have a long-tough road ahead of us before we emerge from the storm created by the coronavirus pandemic.

Change is in the air.

You can choose to hang on and hope that somehow you, your family, and loved ones manage to make it through the next 3, 6, or 12 months relatively unscathed. Or, you can take charge of your life, become intentional about building your power and do the things you know you need to do to take care of your emotional, mental, and physical health.

Rise above the storm.

Pay attention to the lessons you are learning, the experiences that are challenging you to reach beyond your comfort zone, making you stronger, more resilient. Ask yourself, “How can I become a better person for the way I handle this experience?”

In what way can you use all that you are learning and experiencing to create a better path to the future, to the way things can be?

As we continue this journey it is my mission to help members of the ERL community to create that path, I hope you will join us. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride, but we can embrace the adventure together!
