#LockdownLessons

A teenage girl with long curly hair trying to trim it, resulting unevenly – ends up having to shave her head. The silver lining – she looks great! That’s what inspired me to trim mine – short, okay… very short! I tend to hide behind my hair and I know I do it. But seeing this teenager sport it inspired me! Now, this new hairdo brings out my features and personality even more! Plus it has saved me a whole lot to time trying to tame it.

However, turning pain into purpose can’t be always easy, especially now. We are amidst a pandemic that has thrown everyone off in one way or another. Not being able to see your friends, family, classmates, coworkers, doctor, therapist, masseur, stylist, beautician, dine at your favourite Chinese restaurant… is a HUGE side effect. Humans are social beings at the end of the day. We rely on each other to survive and strive – directly or indirectly! Our lives are connected. I’m not a fan of the word #SocialDistancing. I prefer to use the terms #PhysicalDistancing and #SociallyConnected instead.

So we asked around to see what people are learning during the stay at home orders to minimize the impact of Corona virus. Here’s what they have to share:
