Here’s to the weekend. With social distancing and working from home for some of us, the days blur together. For those essential workers out there, thank you so much! Here are my favorite finds this week.<\/p>\n

1) Love Your Neighbor<\/strong>\u00a0– Writer, attorney Justin Whitmel Earley<\/a> lives what he writes. His piece 9 Ways to Love Your Neighbor in This Pandemic<\/em><\/a> is practical, beautiful, and freeing. Have a read.<\/p>\n

Even with social distancing, we are pointed to many different ways we can extend love to our neighbors. The first and foremost is to stay well ourselves and not carry the virus to others. \"\"<\/a>Photo Credit: Facebook, Brooke Anderson, Elaine Lovelace & Associates, Psychological Counseling<\/a><\/p>\n

After that, local agencies have packed their social media with ways we can help – either in person, if we’re not at risk, and otherwise through online purchases to aid with material needs or delivery of services and support.<\/p>\n

Although children are less at risk for contracting the virus, they still are at risk in other ways. See article below.<\/p>\n

The Kids Aren’t All Right<\/em> – Vann R. Newkirk II<\/a><\/p>\n

I love the message below. In it, Martin Luther<\/a> displays the wrestling between faith and foolhardiness, or what might be perceived as such (during the Bubonic plague<\/a>). First we social distance, and then we have to weigh out decisions…when to enter in to help when if not doing so could mean a worse outcome for the someone. Sobering.<\/p>\n
