Preface, pages 1-2
In March 2020 Covid-19 the world
faced a new thing. An unexpected, unwanted thing.
With the new year just months old a
deadly, contagious virus lead the way into a once in a century pandemic.
Devastating and unapologetic in the
way it changed lives, Covid 19 forced the world to its knees. Agendas, programs
and schedules were suddenly discarded and abandoned.
For months until mitigation efforts
were decided upon it seemed we were all benched like players waiting for the
whistle to blow.
In the end it was clear we could
only move forward if we adjusted and adapted.
New rules and new procedures were
put in place for once routine tasks.
The upheaval and discomfort of it
all rattled some folks, many of whom resisted boisterously and belligerently.
I did not.
Instead, I folded and conformed into
the change.
I had never been in a pandemic before,
but I was familiar with the need to change.
What many people considered
disruption was familiar to me.
My life had always been littered
with unexpected challenges.
I knew what it felt like be sidelined and to
simply watch life pass me by.
So, during the pandemic I simply
did what I knew worked during these times.
I began to reposition myself.
Like a player seated on a bench
during half time, I started to plan for the rest of the match and prepare for
when the whistle blew.
To me, these periods of mandatory
inactivity present the same options as those available during half time during
a tennis match.
These seasons allows us the
opportunity to reassess, plan, strategize, reimagine and reinvent
Ourselves for the next half of the
game.
Initially I hesitated to begin
writing; and was only convinced as the pandemic lengthened and strengthened,
extending my stay indoors.
As bodies piled up in my beloved
NY, I joined my neighbors in clapping at 7pm. It was our way of showing appreciation
to healthcare workers on the frontlines whose shift ended at that time.
Wanting to do more than just clap,
I eventually committed to this book.
With all the changes it brought
many of us would be forced into creating new lives.
And so, I began to write down in
this book the mindset shifts and action steps which successfully transformed my
life previously.
I hope that it will be useful.
