The Frontier

     Thank you to everyone who donated towards our Epilepsy Foundation so many months ago.  We reached our goal and were able to complete the march (albeit virtually) in support of patients, families and essential research.  So much of the world around us has changed in 2020, and we, in response, are also changing.  

      The emergence of a new virus has set in motion a framework of evaluations that ought not to be taken lightly.  What do we value?  What do we hold on to, and what aspects of ourselves do we present onto others throughout daily, weekly, monthly journeys?  As a human family, what can we say about how we have treated our neighbor, our loved ones, our planet, the beings we share this space with?  

       2020 has become another frontier for many people.  I, like thousands of others, suffered a personal loss to SARS-CoV-2.  I've witnessed lives destabilize as a result of the pandemic, and health suffer in response to it.  Yet we are resilient, and we will make it through, in some fashion, across this frontier.  Let us hold each other in care throughout this journey.  Good will, intention and kindness towards others remains more important now than ever before.
