"Can I come by and see you?" that phrase almost feels threating to many, you want to "see" me- like be in person, in contact, cross the invisable barrier we have now created?!
From working at home, to web meetings we have adjusted (pivoted :( to finding ways to stay connected.
NDS has made the shift, doing all of the above and now offering our own virtual Branding Expo which you are invited to- BUT is this really the new norm?
We are social creatures, we need contact, a touch, a smile- a shared bond of real life experience. Novels and movies have been made around the punishment of isolation, being socially distanced, being put into solitaire. If you are like me the isolation touches you softly and dulls your energy and vibrancy.
Do I have the solution, not exactly- I do have my relationship with a living Lord who guards me and does bring comfort, have a loving family (that we are no longer isolating from 'cause that adds salt to the wound)- and friends to call.
What I know is, we need one another, my prayer is you and I, stay connected, don't give in to the fear, isolation and "virtual" world, but reach out, ask for help, prayer, a call. I know it helps me, I want to be there if it helps you!
Let's smell the roses, watch them bloom and be excited for tomorrow~
