A thought on isolation... Something we should all be doing more of right now.

While in isolation with Covid I took inspiration from the father of one of my best friends...

nypost.com/2020/03/26/cor…
After surviving the concentration camps of WWII he faced a year of isolation w/ tuberculosis. It was his year of isolation that he credited for saving his life a second time and opening his mind to the world of poetry and literature.

Samuel Pisar wrote in his memoir, “Thanks to tuberculosis, thanks to literature, I would be reborn once more.”

If he could find solace and rebirth in a year of isolation, after surviving the concentration camps, I think we can all agree to be good rule followers and good citizens and self-isolate for two weeks, and continue to remain home as long as necessary.

Samuel Pisar's step-son, my friend's brother, just got named Secretary of State. This is a great step for America and this story should serve as inspiration for all Americans.

Please #StayHome. It's the most American thing you can do this Thanksgiving. 🇺🇸

My 12yo just lost an adult front tooth and his other teeth are loose... it turns out from vasculature damage 9 months after Covid.

Omg. PLEASE... I beg of you, take this seriously. For you. For your kids. For everyone.
I have been dealing with Covid in one way or another since Day 1. Today might have broken me.

For all those who asked... The bottom right front tooth is no longer there. The left front isn't looking great either. 😥

For the love of God, #MaskUp America.

This, and all the other damage from Covid... It's not worth it. Skip Holidays 2020 so we can all live to see 2021!!! Image
