Social distancing. Isolation. Quarantine.

Even as we learned about COVID-19 back in January, many of us had no idea the impact it would have on the world… and on our personal lives.

Maybe you’re on lockdown in a foreign country, away from friends and family (like me). Maybe you’re working from home for the first time, or completing the rest of this term’s classes online, or find yourself at home with your kids who are driving each other crazy.

Maybe the place you work has closed and you’re worried about what’s next. Or you postponed an important event like a wedding or a well-deserved, long-awaited vacation. What about graduations? And how long is this all going to last?

Wherever you are and whatever is happening, one thing we know for certain is that none of us are alone. Here, I’ve created a place where we can share our stories and our thoughts, feelings, hopes, and fears. What does your daily life look like now? What’s been interrupted? How are you coping? What message would you like to share with the rest of the world?

Even if you don’t consider yourself much of a writer, it might be an opportunity to get in touch with yourself in a different way.
