After three years of BLOG hiatus, it seemed appropriate to pick up the art of Blogging at a time such as this.

It is barely April and what a year it already has been. At present we are in the middle of a pandemic known as Covid-19. Where the norm you have known, taken for granted is norm no more.

As of almost a month ago began the transition old norm to new norm. The new norm of everyone working from home. The new norm of self isolation and social distancing. How you realise very quickly what you have taken for granted. Something as simple as going to work, going to church, seeing family and friends. Even something as simple as going shopping is no longer a luxury anyone as the risk is much too high to make such a gamble. Whilst one can make it through the cycle of Covid-19, being a carrier and passing it on to someone else with a compromised immune system is much too high of a price to make it considerable thought.

The hardest thing is essentially not seeing the people in your world. Your family, your friends, work colleagues, heck at this point I even miss my gym instructors. In saying that, I am fortunate enough to be serving my isolation time at my sister’s during the week (to work from home) and going home to my own place for the weekend. When you’re a hugger, but you can’t hug!

I always thought I was an introvert and embraced it, but this is taking it to a whole new level.

Seeing as my last post was apparently three years ago, a brief update on what’s happened in those three years…

I left Employsure, sad to say goodbye to a few people and moved to another workplace. Which was a growing experience that has catapulted me to work towards finally pursuing what I feel that has always been in my heart is the industry I’ve always wanted to work in.

I finished up on the 3rd of January as though it was like any other day and started on the 8th of January and I am loving it. It makes such a difference in being surrounded by likeminded people and such a breath of fresh air to have people champion you and each other. It has been such an incredible blessing and answered prayer.
