I have been thinking about fatigue this week. I have bouts of thriving enthusiasm and then a round of fatigue, as the days and weeks pass with more physical distancing and the events that keep getting ticked off the calendar that did not take place in their typical fashion, such as Easter.

OK… hands up if you have had any of the following feelings during the last month: Overwhelmed? Uncertain? Lonely? Tired? Restless? Scared? Hopeful? Grateful? Yep – me too. And everyone else in the world. The feelings come and go, and more times than not, I am feeling hopeful and grateful. But every once in a while, I slide away from hope and start to feel the pressure of the crisis we are facing in the world.

It was simply not an option for us to not be there for our community. When we are all naturally feeling anxiety, grief, loss, fear, sadness during this time of uncertainty. So we chose to respond by launching online coaching services.

As I sit at my desk writing this blog; tea in hand and Gayatri Mantra softly playing, I am reflecting on the word faith and what it means to millions who today are acknowledging Good Friday. The dogs have also been let in and out of the room a bunch of times, the TVs on and there are conversations going on outside my office door. Don’t let me fool you… I may be leaning into the practices that calm me, but the realities of physical distancing are thumping in my brain like the base thumping to the show soundtrack just outside the door.
