Almost Three Years

This morning I realized that it has been almost three years since the pandemic was declared in March 2020. Do you remember where you were when you got the news? I was sitting with a life coaching client in my beautiful expressive arts studio in Peterborough. I remember telling her that I didn’t think we would be meeting in person again for quite some time. Oh my goodness, did that ever turn out to be true! I hung on to my beautiful space, for which I had so many lovely plans, until June 2022, when I realized that paying that much rent for a space that I hadn’t been able to use for over two years no longer made any sense.

I began to journal this morning about what has happened in the past three years in my life. I realized, with a start, that actually, many good things have happened. I learned how Zoom works! And I created and offered many personal growth workshops via Zoom. I was able to offer these workshops to people in England, USA and Canada, all at the same time!

I wrote and self-published another book, and I am writing its sequel now.

I made two new, close friends, one in USA and one in Canada, while taking courses on Zoom.

I met a medical student and began to mentor her, all of which has happened online and would likely not have happened, had there not been a pandemic.

I built a she-shed!

Although the pandemic has been devastating in so many ways, for so many people, I discovered this morning, upon reflection, that actually, many good things have also happened during this time.

How do you feel about the past three years? Did you experience any surprisingly good things, in your life, even in the midst of the isolation, devastation, and sorrow of the pandemic?

Sending you love this day, as we anticipate, once again, the arrival of spring!
