2020 has come in swinging. With a vengeance. As I’ve mentioned before, the unexpected change of this year has left me quite naked. But I know that I’m far from the only one impacted by the neverending turn of events this year has thrown in our path. The current state of the world has brought about SO many changes in our lives and has given us all different challenges to face. It’s okay, you are allowed to complain, to feel frustrated and just flat out pissed off. This year is total shit. But it’s not over…and we can all help turn things around.
The women in our community in the Philippines have been hit especially hard during this pandemic. With the tourism industry at a full stop, a typhoon and an indefinite lockdown, expectant mothers in Siargao are struggling to get the care they need. The “hospital” (and I use quotes because it really requires a stretch of the imagination) is shut down to all non-COVID patients, leaving expectant mothers no choice but to hire a private doctor or deliver alone in their homes. Medicines, vaccines and basic newborn supplies are more expensive than ever, if available at all.
To do my part to help combat the spirals of anxiety many of us are experiencing, I am offering one of my private workshops for free to any and all of you that would like to join! If you are able, we welcome any donations towards the care of these amazing women that are battling a true crisis during a time that should be showered in joy. A pair of shoes for you is a safe delivery in a clean clinic for an expectant mother. A cup of coffee at Starbucks is a vaccine for their newborn. Anything and everything helps and a little goes a long way.
If you aren’t in a position to donate but still would like to join the workshop, please join anyways. The more balance and joy we can find individually, the more we have to share with others.
