Baby Steps. As the world begins to return to some semblance of “normal”, it’s important that we take steps to prepare ourselves for the change. Diving right in where we were before is impossible because everything is different. Our interactions with people will be different because the world is different. Our perspectives and perceptions of others have been skewed by the isolation and the inundation of the 24/7 news cycle as well as access to social media. With this in mind, we need to remember to take baby steps. We need to remember that we are one community. We need to remember that disagreements are just that – disagreements. We need to embrace our commonality. We need to shift the focus from a broader ideology to thoughts and actions of how we can improve the lives of those around us, no matter the age, belief system, race, ability level, gender, gender identity, etc.
From where I sit, I see the commonality and take baby steps to closing the divide and re-create community. I invite you to join me on that journey.
