When Uncertainty Rules Our Lives

A friend of mine recently reached out to me saying, “I don’t remember ever in my life feeling as out of control as I feel now.

We don’t know how or when, but this pandemic will eventually end. And at some point, we will begin to forget the details of this strange time.

Our hopes, our fears, our worries? What we missed doing, who we missed seeing? Even if you never journaled before, now is a great time to begin.
