Almost every email, social media post, and news report I see is about COVID-19. While this is absolutely at the forefront of everyone's mind, I recognize it is also be causing a lot of upset, fear, panic, etc. So the core of my update today will be one of solace, calm, and giving you resources for this time of quarantine and social distancing....
Two quick personal updates:
My husband Ben and I are both healthy and well. We are working from home for the foreseeable future. Good thing we like each other! We feel very fortunate that our jobs can easily be done remotely.
Yes, my trip to Rome has been postponed until late August. Plus, all the retreats I had been working on for the Spring have been postponed or cancelled. Everyone's been very understanding. I look forward to serving people in other ways during this historic time.
Stay safe and well!
Warmly,
Cheri
INSPIRATION
A Call to Go Within by Cheri Jamison
As we are literally being asked to go within physically, doing our part to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic by practicing social distancing, I am seeing it as a call to go within spiritually.
I am seeing in my mind's eye beautiful, protective, and healing white light encircling our planet.
I am seeing myself as a calm presence in the midst of this storm.
I am seeing my schedule open up, stress fade away, and the invitation to be quiet and meditate.
I am seeing how we can take care of others by changing our behavior (even if we're personally feeling healthy and well), because it protects the most vulnerable among us.
I am seeing how connected we are as humans globally.
I am seeing immense generosity, care, and concern for those hit hard by this physically and economically. I am seeing what I can do to serve.
I am seeing creativity bursting out online as people offer unique ways to connect online via Zoom, Facebook, etc.
I am seeing the Earth heal.
I am seeing family and friends reconnect with personal supportive texts, phone calls, video calls, maybe after a long time of generic social media posts.
I am choosing to see this all as a blessing. Let's make it one together.
