The Right Guard (The Allegiance Series, Book 1)

New Normal or New Opportunity?

The “New Normal” has upset many of our lives and devastated others during this Covid-19 pandemic. But it is also true that most of us have had a lot of time to take a lengthy look at what is working in our lives/careers and what is not. In my personal life, it has been difficult, but that adversity brought about new pathways, new ways of problem solving and releasing bad habits and practicing new ones. Daily success means something different now. These past two months, success meant lending a hand to friends and family members whose businesses are on the brink, mentoring, keeping up spirits and offering help. Do older neighbors have food or their medicine, can a friend make a final car payment and feed their family for the month…success and being able to help has taken on a more exhausting but satisfying feeling at the end of the day. I have mentored and been mentored. It’s a two-way street now. As Americans, the world says we are good at high levels of creativity and adaptability. Let’s don’t forget that it also includes high levels of compassion and personal commitment to making our own lives as well as others… better during a bad time.
