Inspired Word of Hope
From Our Executive Director
Lin. Woods
We are living in very trying times. Thousands of us have lost loved ones to Covid-19. The world is suffering with economic, emotional and healthcare strains. As we weather this storm of life, we must recognize one truth, we need one another to survive. And we need to communicate by all means necessary.
We must stay connected to help one another through whatever crisis one might be facing. It has been extremely hard for many of us not to see older parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles. I personally miss those Sunday visits and dinners at mom’s house…those cakes, pies and down-home soul food cooking were extensions of family love.
The Corona Virus put a stop to large gatherings. Inspired Lives Foundation had plans for in person networking events and workshops to help those who aspire to careers in film, music and digital entertainment advance their careers. We had to readjust, pivot and push back some things from 2020 through 2021. Some events will take place virtually.
My hope is that you find some sunshine in the middle of it all. Communicate with friends and loved ones daily. Check on your elders. Call, text, e-mail, Zoom, drive by and maybe give a 6 feet socially distanced air hug. Tell treasured ones you love them. Why not take the opportunity to share with them things about yourself that you never told them about? Consider using this time to connect on deeper levels. Honesty and transparency might open up a door that will change your life and expand your love.
As you bravely move forward in 2021, trust and believe in yourself. Have faith. See the Good in others. Seek help if you need it. And communicate more – text, email, Zoom, send a card, or pick up the phone and call them. Tell your family and friends you are there for them…. show compassion and appreciation for others. Love more, care more and spread joy and happiness. It will all make this into a more inspired World.
