Hi First name / friend!
You guys, after literally over a year of locking down and cancelling plans and being as careful as we could - we couldn't avoid it any more. I tested positive for COVID early this week and I won't lie, being islated from my toddler and husband as I heal has been very very hard.
The morning after getting sent home from work, I woke up pretty devested and even a little scared.
BUT.
Joy has a sneaky way of showing up when you least expect it. My friends dropped off care packages, my mom left soup on the porch. My staff sent notes of encouragement all day and I zoomed into meetings that felt just as inclusive as ever.
I learned two lessons:
1. Even (maybe especially) on our hardest moments, joy remains.
2. Community is cultivated in the easy times for out need in the hard ones.
Such love for you all.
Em✨
