My prescription.

To myself.

To remind me to heed the sentiments in these notes.

Notice anywhere in my body, my mind, my life where fear is running the show.

Then...

Do the next loving thing.

Here's the Rx.

"My wonderful high school friend has COVID-19."

Ok.

Embrace that.

"Thanks for sharing, Effing Pandemic Monster."

I got it.

You think you're scary.

Then...

Send a note of gratitude to my high school friend.

Then give hope to Mrs. Cook with breast cancer during this crazy time.

Opportunity abounds.

Notice the fear.

Do the next loving thing.

Do the next loving thing like your life depends on it.

None of this is easy.

But it's a tad easier if you keep doing the next loving thing.

We have to.

To shift from doing the next fearful thing to the next loving thing.

Stop doing the next fearful thing.

With your beating heart overflowing with courage...

Do the next loving thing.
