Hey, friends. I know times are hard, and I’m very sorry for that. Seems that every day, the news of what’s happening the world just gets worse. I know it’s taking a toll on many of us. I wish there were more I could do than just sharing this short note.

But really, that’s all any of us can do right now: let each other know that we’re here, we care, and we’re willing to help if there’s anything we can do. That’s all this little blog post is. Just a reminder that I’m out here thinking about you, I’m here if you need me, and I hope the best for you during this difficult time.

We will get through this. There’s no telling how much damage will be done in the meantime or what the world will look like afterwards, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned about life, it’s that it goes on. Not even this virus can stop that.

A lot of people don’t know how to make ends meet right now. Others are working so hard to deal with this crisis that they don’t know how much longer they can go on at this pace. Others are somewhere in between, trying to navigate this new, hopefully temporary normal the best they can. Wherever you find yourself right now, I hope you know that you aren’t alone.

So whether you’re hurting or struggling or tired or bored or anxious or apathetic or still trying to wrap your head around this whole bizarre circumstance, I’m here for you. We’re in this together, and I want you to know that I’m here.

I apologize that this week’s post isn’t the most optimistic. To be truthful, I am still very much hopeful for future, but I also think it’s important to recognize the difficulties people are facing right now. They are real, and they have real consequences. And those real-world effects are breaking my heart today.

I’m thankful for each of you reading this. If you feel like you need to reach out to someone, please know that I’m available. I’ll talk to you soon.
