As we stand together as one community to slow the spread of COVID-19, it’s inevitable to experience fear, anxiety, and stress. I'm feeling it, too. I spent many years, creating this business, the sacrifices I've made, the long hours building and handcrafting, only to practically lose it all in one week. And looking forward over the next 6 months, there is an uncertainty that scares me to death, to provide and protect my family, my wife daughter and 12 month old son.
Like many of my peers in our industry, fellow videographers, photographers, hair & make-up stylists, musicians, florists, event venues the waiting staff, cooks, food suppliers, the list goes on and on. A cancellation affects so many people down the chain, it's heart breaking to see how this pandemic can devastate so many lives create so much fear and stop the world from loves celebration.
Although right now I don't feel all that optimistic do believe in my heart that spirit and attitude are essential tools to get through these uneasy times.
SEEK OUT LOVE
Even if it is at a social distance we can still lean on each other and support each other.
STAND TALL
Let go of fear, it only holds you back. Focus only on the future.
EVERYTHING WILL BE OK
One day we will laugh at all the people hording toilet paper.
STAY SAFE
