Hey there.

You.

Yeah, you.

I know things are hard right now.

We’re in the middle of an actual pandemic. All that time spent watching Contagion, Outbreak, and fifty thousand other pandemic movies is finally paying off!

But if you’re home with your kiddos and you have to start facilitating distance learning AND you’re trying to work from home at the same time, you might be feeling like you’re in World War Z.

Ok, I have to admit. I’ve never watched any of those movies. They all give me the heebie-jeebies. Maybe that’s how you’re feeling right now too.

I want you to do one thing for me. Right now.

Stop everything you’re doing and…

…take a breath.

Let all the chaos that’s going on around you keep going on. The world will keep turning even if you take a moment and…

…take a breath.

Seriously. You don’t need to worry about being Instagram “worthy.” You don’t have to be the perfect parent. You don’t even have to change out of your pajamas. Just…

…take a breath.

One day, things will go back to normal. Maybe they already are where you live.

This is not forever.

We’re in this together.

Take a breath.
