In the last year, the COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented disruption in our lives. Alongside that disruption has been enormous loss, heartache, and suffering. The pandemic is not over yet, and its echoes will touch our lives for many years to come. But for some, a window is beginning to open on the horizon to a new world that lies on the other side.
We now have a unique opportunity to examine who we are and who we want to become as we look for normalcy in this new world.
