Many people find themselves shut in, isolated, and even depressed due to the COVID-19 chaos. People are struggling to find something to latch on to, a glimmering piece of hope that can help them.

Others are absolutely in love with the fact that they don’t have to go anywhere or see people they ordinarily wouldn’t be so thrilled to be in a room with.

During this time, we have a phenomenal opportunity to work on ourselves. One person glibly told me that either the divorce rate is going to rapidly go up or the birth rate will. It can be a blessing to be at home with your spouse and family for this long or it can really bring out the worst in you.
