Personal Note - Back-to-Basics

As we continue to go deeper into the unknown, I can’t stop thinking of what is truly important in our lives. Only a few weeks ago, I was able to enjoy my 38th birthday with dear friends at a 7-course dinner in Kitsilano. Yes, the food is amazing.

Now, as I stay home, social distance oneself from everyone including my family and friends.

I am currently bunked up at my mother-in-law’s house. To some, this probably sounds like a bad thing, but we get along amazingly and her pantry is packed full (#winning).

As we realize this may be longer than just a few weeks, I am creating normalcy for myself and finding gratitude in what is truly valuable. 

I am thankful that my niece turned 2years old and my nephew was apparently such a good boy, he received gifts as well. My brother and his wife who are keeping the kids safe. I am thankful that my parents are safe with a pantry full of food. I am thankful for my sister who is considering ‘front-line’ with the City of Vancouver that she is safe. She is considered the eyes and ears of the world.

Let’s use what the universe has thrown at us to bring us back to basics. Take a moment to find something you are thankful for and share it with the world.

We need good news like this.
