Being a creative during COVID

I sustain myself with the love of family. -Maya Angelou 

Recently, I came across this quote by the beloved queen author & writer. After reading, I realized this rings so true for me. Whether quarantining alone or with family, the steady love and support for one another (in-person or virtual) is what gives me strength & hope. We are resilient. We are faithful. Over the past few months of this pandemic, we have been confronted with the unsettled feeling like everyone else while grieving through personal losses at the same time. It is still hard. Where to find joy? Where to be inspired? Thankfully, I did not have to venture far. Visiting familiar faces, sharing a quick laugh while masked & social distancing brought a much-needed spirit boost. Rarely without a camera, it was fun capturing these little moments. When the unsettled feeling returns (and it will), I have a reminder of this joyful time till we come together again - fully embracing, openly laughing and sharing food in one space. How are you finding support?
