To begin with, I would like to thank everyone in our community for working together. To all the essential workers, no matter who you are: thank you! To the volunteers, neighbors, community leaders, and visionaries: thank you!
Now more than ever, we need to find positive and collaborative ways to engage our problems and explore new solutions. Over the past two months, we have worked hard here at LocalsGuide to host many different local webinars, share online information, and continue to help share the voice of our community. It is important and essential that we stay close and connected.
As we move forward into the future, no one knows which direction things will go. Will we go into full recovery and return to a new normal, or will we travel further into the downward spiral? Only time will tell. And if there is one thing that’s for sure, it is that this moment is and continues to be a wake-up call.
A wake-up call to re-center on one´s priorities of life. There is so much potential, both wonderful and terrible, and it is visceral.
Let´s hope for the best.
Radical creativity that empowers and brings people together. Change that builds better, healthier, and stronger models of society.
New, sustainable, and smart communities, filled with resilient and mindful citizens. Children who will live beyond the mythologies of the past and who become free from societal chains and dogma. This is the future I will place my attention upon.
All the while, also preparing for possible challenges to come.
Plant your gardens now. Be kind to your neighbors, Help those in need.
Winter will come again. Save your money. Increase your kindness.
Invest in the world you wish to see.
Do not fight and argue. You will waste precious time.
Instead, conserve your energy and build the new.
Focus your energy on the solutions.
ADAPT…SURVIVE…THRIVE…
All the Best To You
