Woof, what a year! Mindful of covid-19, it’s definitely difficult to feel the Christmas joy and the happy holidays with everything going on. This pandemic has sabotaged our plans and dreams, confidence, family gatherings, hugs and kisses and our most meaningful ways to connect. In truth, we are all hurting inside.
More than 286,000 Americans have lost their lives this year, and about 1.56M of the world’s people have died in 2020. More than 97,966 businesses have permanently shut down, thousands and thousands of workers have been laid off, fires in Brazil’s Amazon increased 13% in the first nine months, 49,149 wildfires have destroyed homes, catastrophic hurricanes have flooded cities, there has been a rise in domestic violence, and so forth..
So how do we wish everyone a happy holiday, a merry christmas and a happy new year? We’ve gathered a few inspirational quotes to help us through these tough times. Because we believe in hope and a better tomorrow.
