I can’t say that the pandemic has been the best. After all, lots of people have lost their lives and their jobs. Since I am one that has been furloughed I know that it hasn’t all been roses. Still, there are some upsides to COVID-19.
Time is only lost if you forget to live
I know I’ve spent many car rides commuting back and forth to work over the years thinking that I would do certain things “if I only had more time.” Well, here we are. With the pandemic of COVID-19 we ALL have more time. More time to spend time together, organize, exercise, or some other lofty goal we had. I’m sure many of us have chosen instead to binge watch “Tiger King.” I mean I just can’t look away from that train wreck!
How I'm trying not to treat a gift like a burden
I knew that being at home with four kids wouldn’t be easy and I was right. While I’m trying to juggle working and entertaining a 5, 3, 2, and 10 month old I have to keep reminding myself to give myself a break. Here I am thinking that I can have it all, but I can’t possibly be all things to all people, and if I try, I will be the one that breaks.
Looking into the crystal ball for the event industry
The world is crazy right now. With so much uncertainty surrounding the spread of COVID-19 and a collective charge to practice social distancing, we have all started to navigate what this looks like for us personally and professionally. The goal for me is to keep my life as routine as possible. There is something about keeping things in my control that gives me comfort and I know I’m not alone in this.
