Overcoming...

It has only been a short time since COVID-19 was brought to our national attention. My first thought was that we never have experienced anything like it before. On one level, that is true. We’re fighting a deadly yet invisible enemy that can spread at lightning speed. However, there have been many natural, medical, financial and human made disasters that have come before and will undoubtedly and sadly will again. Some have had a global impact while others have struck on a more specific geographical basis. Many of these have caused communities of people to come together to support each other. We have already seen that happen with the COVID-19 epidemic.

For some, life will go on perhaps not exactly the same as before but close. Others will be greatly impacted. Livelihoods will change, some very dramatically. Yet time and time again, the human spirit, creativity and persistence have prevailed.

What follows is an article I wrote in October 2011. Its message is just as valid today as it was then. I hope it will provide you with inspiration and hope for a great future.
