Keeping Our Sanity during the Quarantine, Together!


How are you holding up these days? 😮

Are you keeping it all together? 😵

Even in the best of circumstances, it can still be difficult keeping it all together. I know and understand. I have been there. I am usually an upbeat type of person, but some days are just hard.

These are unusual times, to say the least. Even though we are cooped up in our homes 🏡 away from everyone else, we are still in this together. 👥🏠👥🏢👥🏡

That last bit bears repeating: WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER! 

If we are going to remain safe, and yet retain our sanity, this is what is most important.


Take the pledge, TOGETHER!


So, I am Asking All of You to Take a Pledge


 1)  I pledge to reach out to friends, family and acquaintances to 
       let them know someone cares, and they are not alone.

 2)  I pledge to give myself permission to not have to "be productive"
       at all times. Taking care of yourself is being productive!

 3)  I pledge to give myself permission to feel off-kilter, sad, isolated, 
       etc. 

4)   I pledge to reach out to someone if I need to talk. Even the most 
       upbeat of us need to share our feelings, too.



Take the pledge, TOGETHER!



Reach Out to Your "Peeps"!


Friends, family, hotlines, even social media acquaintances...these are all people you can reach out to in times of need.  Just reach out to someone! It is so important for you to remember that you are not isolated and alone.


Your "peeps" are always
there for you...in so many
 different ways! 


Please remember, no matter how you are feeling, there is always, always someone to reach out to talk to at all times.  I honestly just witnessed this on Twitter the other day. A person had a very tragic event happen in their life, and felt they had noone they could tell.  Another person not only replied, but kept her in conversation and sharing good memories.

Years ago, someone who I had thought of as an acquaintance-type friend had told me to give him a call if I ever needed to talk. One evening, I needed just that...and he was there in a heartbeat! He became one of my best friends, with a friendship of 30+ years going strong.

Take Action, Take the Pledge


Once again, I urge you to take the pledge, TOGETHER! We will get through this together. We will keep our sanity through the quarantine, together. 

Please help get the word out that you are there for your friends and family. Take this pledge and share it with everyone you know! Share it on FB, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.

TOGETHER, we are strong! 💪💪💪
