Imagine

We are all united in that we all had a life before the coronavirus... and there will be a life for us after this virus mysteriously disappears. The cost, financially and personally are incomprehensible to us now.

- having to look through a pane of glass to see your grandchildren
- losing the ability to touch and hug your children
- going into isolation out of the fear for contaminating the ones we love

There is much misinformation, political narrative and social media frenzy that it becomes difficult if not impossible to separate fact from fiction.

I asked my closest friend, who is a physician, how to you deal with hysteria?  His answer? You can’t.

Everyone is pointing fingers and looking to assign blame - the government, the medical community, other countries, the media. Maybe it’s time to control the one thing that we all have. Your three pound brain that can take direction from your heart, and your soul.

Everyone should follow the new mandates ordered by the federal and state governments, whether we agree with them or not  However, we can follow our own instincts as to what we feel is best for our immediate family and friends as we deal with this pandemic.

My advice to everyone who is acting like a backseat driver - only asking about how others are feeling to see if they have the symptoms themselves - they should instead take the time to foster a dog, call someone who is alone and check on them. Call a hotline to offer to help and to be involved in assisting people rather than to be creating more hysteria.

It will take your mind off yourself and to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

Try it - I’m sure that it will help.

Why don’t you provide the ability to rate a product that was bought from your website? I bought a bandana that is advertised as if it is some special fashionable accessory. It is a regular bandana worth about $5, looks like it had bleach spilled on it. Sure I guess it could be handmade IN CHINA where it is clearly stamped that it is made in. Very disappointed.
