T
o state the obvious (that this is a strange and
stressful time) would be, well.....obvious. Instead,
we would like to reflect on all the ways that our global
community has stepped up to help each other during
this pandemic. From superstars giving concerts in
their living rooms and others putting their talents on
display by way of Shakespearean readings, or expedient
entrepreneurial products to benefit first responders, to
neighbors helping neighbors with drive by birthday and graduation
shout outs, family connections through Zoom, and even husbands
stepping in as hairdressers for their wives. This has been a time of
struggle to varying degrees, but we have seen people step up to help
in so many ways big and small. This special double issue will celebrate
the fortitude that we have been witness to.
A very special thanks to those who are on the front lines giving
everything they haveāthe first responders whose commitment and
resolve is nothing short of inspirational. Also a big thanks to the
essential workers, who also put themselves in harm's way.
Wishing you safety, peace and love.
