As I sit at my desk writing this blog; tea in hand and Gayatri Mantra softly playing, I am reflecting on the word faith and what it means to millions who today are acknowledging Good Friday. The dogs have also been let in and out of the room a bunch of times, the TVs on and there are conversations going on outside my office door. Don’t let me fool you… I may be leaning into the practices that calm me, but the realities of physical distancing are thumping in my brain like the base thumping to the show soundtrack just outside the door.

The journey to hope starts with a solid foundation because, as with any strong structure, it must be able to stand the winds of storms. What do I manage my foundation? I lean into the practices that are part of my everyday. This practice is rooted in The Desire Map created by Danielle Laporte.

The space in-between: the space between life as we knew it to the new normal that will unfold once we are done with physical distancing. This is where we are today – in the space in-between.

We will always remember the moment we understood the severity of what we are experiencing. I am confident that in your mind’s eye, you can picture where you were, what you were doing and whom you were with. It will forever be one of those moments frozen in time.

Our thoughts are powerful and the feelings associated with these messages shape our identity – in business and in life.

There is a lot to accomplish as an entrepreneur. As visionaries, we’re not short of creative ideas and dreaming about possibilities for the future. Accompanied by the operations, planning, problem-solving, and decision-making side of the business shifting between these states can be jarring.
