Donate your time to places that you have the ability to assist. Donate gently used items to local good works organizations. Be kind and gentle with yourself as much as you can, because right now no one is at their best. And if you’re one of the ones that is struggling, reach out to others* and ask for help. Unlike in the past, our global community is more connected than ever.
So many right now are suffering more than ever: fear of catching this horrible disease, anxiety over how to pay the bills due to lost jobs, loneliness at being isolated. While most of us are having to stay physically apart to help protect each other from this deadly pandemic, it doesn’t mean that we can’t still be there to help one another. We all need to try to come together, in spirit, to support one another. Now is when kindness, empathy, compassion, and understanding are more important than ever.
From pandemic to social unrest, from economic downturn to the food and housing insecurities created by all of, it has been an exceptionally trying time. 2020 has been a really hard year all across the world. As we enter December and look forward to the coming New Year, this is a time when many religions and cultures around the world celebrate major holidays.
